Nice spot. No doubt he was completely unaware of your presence.

Great shot DA.    His bright light turned out to make him an ideal target.

There's was no sign that he noticed me,    and the wine of the electric motor probably would have drowned out the drone along with his helmet.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-31 00:36
Yeah, nice subject!

Im always curious when I see the lights or torches at that time.

Cheers Peter.

Thanks.  I had spotted the light appearing on top of the hill then disappearing before re appearing so I had to go and see what was happening.

I wish Id had the velcro back on the drone as I could have sent in the red and blue strobe for some fun.

I took the Velcro off when I returned the Mini3 and Ive not put a new one on yet.    Didnt want to waste one incase this was going back.

That might have got his attention

I might have made him think he shouldnt be on the track in the dark on an electric bike.

Red and Blue strobes might have made him think  "Uh-oh  5 0h "

DAFlys Posted at 3-31 03:33

Yes,  the forum just updated,  it went a bit wrong for a few minutes and after restarting the browser its fine.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-31 04:17

The banner colour is now white rather than black, and the icons are a little bigger.

Different font and colour.

DAFlys Posted at 3-31 04:18

Apart from the font in the menu, which looks odd.  (not matching the rest)

BC it is interesting.

Blériot53 Posted at 3-31 04:22

Yeah, plus the main page is different.

Portrait style to suit phone browsers.

And the menus stay at he top now too.

Top bar is fixed now so that menu is always visible,  and on mobile if you try and zoom into your profile ic top right it disappears off the screen

Different, but maybe not better?
I caught the train for Monty

Nice and smooth, and your weather does look that bad now,     absolutely hammering down again here.

Were alternating between wind and rain this afternoon,   usually just as I come out of the workshop with an open tin of emulsion.

Typical WIP publishing.

And rounded images for the main page too, with filters.

That's always the way of it
