What a difference a day makes.......

For those following along at home with my daily sunrise shot,   well mother nature finally let me down this morning,    same time and location as before but nothing memoriable today at all.    But on the plus side,  no wind for a change.




Taken with a lighty used Mini 3 Pro.

After your shots from the last few days, that is a bit of a let-down. But at least you're getting out there.
A long lie-in for me this grey Saturday morning.  Now trawling through my archives, weeding out the dross and reviewing stuff I'd forgotten

I went out for sunrise,    then home,  B&Q,  then a walk to the oyster beds,  and then Lidl,  MIL and then after my parents probably take a walk down for high tide.  


Somehow Ive caught up on a lot of my editing.

Mother nature didn't offer those great colors for you this morning but glad you got out and were able to fly without any wind.    Should be a good day to give the Mini 2 a thorough test flight.

Looks like you have a busy day lined up.

Thats a good idea,   planning on walk number three this afternoon so I may do that.    Depends how long I get stuck at the parents for.

Thats all been completed pretty much,  just leaving the MIL for the next bit.   4.5gb of footage taken from the Oysterbeds.    Hoping to leave the videos as is so they can do any colour work they want with them rather than locking in my preferred look.

I think I will try and go back again though we had quite a nice walk on the sea wall and even on the beach.     There was a ship wreck out on the sands that I thought about taking a piece of to make pens from but sadly it was too muddy to get there in the shopping clothes I was wearing.

6 Nations Rugby Tournament begins today and for several weeks. So our weekends will be taken up for a while

Nice, 3 walks in one day.  Definitely getting in your cardio today.

I'm sure Mini 2 is in no hurry to go out and explore.

Yeah, I forgot about the time difference.  

Yeah, no since in ruining shopping clothes to retrieve the material for pens.  That could well be a project for another day.  

Yeah, well, if the sun doesn't blow the clouds away they stay ;-)

Yawn.   Such a bore.   Sorry.

I did take mini 2 out for the third walk.  Just flew one battery because of the wind and SHMBOd struggling with it.    Pushed it out for a bit if a  distance test and it flew just like the old one.   

Ps. If youd like to see the oyster bed footage i can send you a link.

Exactly.  Im planning on going back at a lower tide.   But i may take a fold up saw.

Nice to hear the replacement Mini 2 is functionally as advertised.  

Shoot me the linky for the oyster bed footage and I'll check it out.

Ahh, you'll be much better prepared the second time around.

Yes depp.  I think there was something to that.

Ps.  If you you need a podcast to listen too.  I just started ultra by Rachel maddow.   Its a complicated story but i was amazed to learn how nazi germany infiltrated congress and used floor speeches and free post to spread German propaganda.

I read her book Bag Man back during the pandemic.  

People either really like her or hate her and there appears to be no middle ground.  If you get a chance here is an article about her from a different perspective.

Well thats certainly a different prospective.     I didn't spend the time to fact check the whole article but the first point at Barr and the redactions was false,   there was an interview with Barr recently where he himself said that he'd asked Mueller to redact the document and he had delivered without them as so Barrs team had to do it.     He used it as an excuse why he released a summary report.

I noticed the pub was busy on walk number three and also the 6:31am London train was absolutely crammed.   Three minutes later another trained pulled in and it was empty.

There's another match this afternoon - France v Italy.
I may make a foray later this morning when the sun gets a little higher.

I wont be rushing back for that.     New circular walk that should feature an abandoned railway bridge river.

Stay warm then

i have to agree not so good day. We are used to see better shots of this series.
But i like the title, reference to the great song i hope.

Got it.  Those are some amazing shots and videos.

Yeah, in cases like these we will never know the 100% factual side.  Too much he said, she said, etc.

It was really nice out there today,   lots of sunshine and as long as you're out of the wind very pleasant.   The railway bridge was the last wooden trestle bridge in England.

That must have produced some good shots.
I sent the Mini3Pro up at dusk and snapped away for twenty minutes or so, experimenting with various settings.

Yup. Big difference.

Now this one shows noise all over the place.

Yes especially when they are reporting information that that dont want to be public knowledge.

thanks.   the place was so big I was struggling to come up with good ways to show it off.

I only took a couple,  and as parking turned into a PITA,  (alltrails started the walk at a cemetery carpark but when arriving the signage was very clear it was for church goers only). and there was no where else to park.

Im not surprised,   it was pretty bleak out there.
