Perfect weather for a good look at the weathervane, recently replaced atop the spire of a local church.

Very interesting perspective so close up. Especially like the POI circling with the camera pointed up.

I thought the sun was a distraction on that one, so I climbed a little higher for the second rotation.  Then the landscape swirling round looked like a distraction

Absolutely amazing views from the rotating POIs.  I especially liked the one looking downward.  Great job Mr. B.

Thanks RDB.  The swirling landscape was a bit of a distraction, I thought.

You're very welcome Mr. B.  I didn't find that distracting but then again my perception can be a bit odd.

Maybe it was just my perception. I'll have to find something else to do a close-quarter POI on now

Yes, it seemed very fast - which I don't mind at all.

OK

I didnt realise that the bird was 3d from the other shots I thought  it was just flat.

It was quite a weight for them to get in place.

Was it a two man lift?

At least. I could see two for sure.

Ahh, a new challenge you've given yourself.  I'll keep an eye out for when you post that project.

I have a couple in mind.

Not one but two, my you are an over achiever.

Three, actually. I just thought of another. But they're a bit scattered about.

My only project now is two fold.  One is to successfully complete physical therapy and get doctor's release on Friday.  Second is to strap on my scuba tanks and make many bubbles.

I've been following your countdown closely
There'll be more than just Manatees in the water this weekend, it sounds like

You betcha!    I can't remember the last time I was so excited about something.

You hit the nail right on the head.   

Very nice video Roger!

Thanks Peter.  The weather and the time were just right, I'd been waiting a week for the appropriate moment

Thank you.  

Nice and close indeed. Pretty cool looking rotation around it, too.

POI function of the drone makes that easy.

We just talked with my grandfather's sister about how the technology has advanced in our lifetimes, as I was by her place today updating her computer to have Windows 10 installed on it. It sure does allow for some amazing things, like here.

We've been on Windows 11 for a year or more

Haven't got myself up there yet, I currently don't have a computer that could run it. But maybe eventually I will have enough money to get some more up-to-date hardware.

Nothing wrong with Windows 10.  We both ran it for a couple of years with no problems.

If nothing else, then it's at least way better than Vista or Windows 8

I do have some interest towards the 11. If I have no other reasons to upgrade, then at least it will probably happen when I buy my next computer. And it probably would be a good idea at least from the point when the support for 10 ends, but that is still a couple of years away.

Yeah you should OK with support for Windows 10 until October 2025.

That's exactly the reason why my grandfather's sister requested for it, she needed to update for security fixes but had no budget yet to buy a Windows 11-supported computer.
