Newark, NJ and a local park

Was that a busy morning commute?

That was about 2 in the afternoon. The parkway in the background is the Garden State Parkway. It's usually busy in that area. It's 4 miles from Newark International Airport.

Oh boy,  so the commute times must be miserable.

They can be. It's part of living here. I work one mile from my home so I don't have to commute except for drone flights.

Lovely urban footage.  

Still some residual snow in the park and sports field. Looks great in the sunshine.

A Warm front along with rain and fog came in. Waiting for it to clear. Hopefully some bright sunshine on the horizon.

Things are settling a bit here, at last.

That's good to hear. Not feeling the love here. It's warm, foggy and rainy through the weekend hoping for a half day of sun by Thursday.  Flying the simulator.

Got a weather window just before dusk, so I've been trying the Mini3Pro in D-Cinelike for the first time.
Forgot to record in H265 rather than H264, so I've spent ages transposing with Handbrake so that Davinci can read it.  Now experimenting with LUTs and getting some strange results - more learning required

Sounds good. Good luck. Not getting any sunlight here.

Same old same old, here.  Gloomy and damp. Still experimenting with D-Cinelike and LUTs.
Practice practice.....

Have you found any LUTs that make a gloomy day brighter? I have tried to create my own. Just not happy with results.

I downloaded 4 free ones recommended by DowntownRDB. They work  but results are not outstanding. Exposure and brightness can still be adjusted manually, but l still have a lot to learn.

I feel the same way. I haven't found anything that I really like. Nothing makes up a mothernature that cooperates.

Very nice with the (little bit of) snow!

It punches up the dreariness of winter.

Indeed. The dark times are not so dark when there is snow.

It's best to always look at the positive.

True. I'm trying to do just that

Soon Spring will begin again and we'll all be happy again.

Counting the days.

We just said that to each other.

All the little flowers are breaking through and some trees are already in blossom.

That's starting to happen here. We are getting closer.We need some green on the trees.

Now that would be a good reason to fly again

Yes it would.

Yes it would.

Looking forward to that day.
It's such a big change in how the world looks.

I often think spring is my favorite season, but all have their good parts.

This is true but winter is my least favorite.

A lot of winter is. But I love the crispy cold days.

I love how clean the air feels.
