It turned out OK
And @DAFlys tweaked it nicely too.

Mini 3 Pro is such a beast for such a small drone.  It does amaze me at how well it can handle the winds compared to the Mini or Mini 2.  

Just a little team effort on the tweaking of the shot.

And Isaac Newton's apple tree

Yes,  that one was a bit of an eye opener.   Id assumed that was a bit or a myth or legend the apple story.

Very interesting article.  Glad they were able to rescue and save some seedlings from the Sycamore Gap tree.  No doubt the perpetrators who fell the tree are still in some bad trouble.

Weve not really seen much in the media about the criminals,  but there was also some hope that the trunk might still be via to sprout new shoots.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-9 05:35
Interesting edit DA.    I wish I had your editing skills.

that was just a quick 2 minute tweak really,  theres a little a halo on the tree that I would normally like to see removed too.

That would be fantastic if it can rejuvenate shoots from what remains of the trunk.  Of course it will take years for them to grow to any appreciable size I'm sure.

Nice team effort between you and Mr. B on that shot.  

Blériot53 Posted at 3-9 04:01
Yes I downloaded it and had a play about with it, but I haven't grasped yet how to use it effectively.
I've got Darktable as well.

This getting started video might be useful then,   it goes through the basics.

Thanks DT.   I may have to prank him on that shot later so keep an eye out.

Hundreds of years to grow back to the size it was,    but only 3 years to find out if the trunk is still viable.  

DAFlys Posted at 3-10 05:46

You're welcome.  I'll definitely keep an eye out.

Yeah, it really is a shame why anyone would fall that tree.

Persistent rain here today.

I'm not sure it actually hit him on the head, but it was nevertheless his "light-bulb" moment.

Thanks. One for tomorrow - rain forecast

Absolutely,      especially as almost that entire area is tourist related because of that tree.

Blériot53 Posted at 3-10 07:10

I recall it was the fact they fell that inspired the thought not that he was actually hit by it.  

Blériot53 Posted at 3-10 07:13

Hoping for a lull in the rain tomorrow and then its back on Tuesday now.

Yes, the myth rather than the historical fact

Fingers crossed.

There is always a few scofflaws around that commit heinous crimes like this.  You just can't fix stupid.

Persistent rain here today.

I woke up this morning to pouring rain and when it finally quit I was able to do a few chores around my boat and dock.  

Awesome place.

Not an entirely wasted day then. Rain all day here, but I went out walking anyway. Tested the rainwear

Thanks - and it's home

Magnificent images Mr. B

Magnificent images Mr. B

Every so often, a nice sky presents itself

Blériot53 Posted at 3-10 09:08
Yes, the myth rather than the historical fact

Still would love to know how they authenticated they had the right tree.  

Blériot53 Posted at 3-10 09:08
Fingers crossed.

Not looking promising today,  thick fog again this morning,   and it doesnt look like things will dry out enough from yesterdays rain to get a few garden tasks done.

He'd maybe carved his initials and the date, in the trunk?

I'm going to chance it. It looks fairly settled here.

Fingers crossed for you.   I'll probably install the new CO2 laser tube into the laser cutter today as nothing else is being very motivational.

hahaha,  yes thats always possible.

Seems no one took the bait on that prank.

How did the rainwear test go?   

If you can believe the weather guessers Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be nice weather days for a change.  I've got my fingers crossed as I really do need to get a flight or two in before I forget how.

Im not sure you even noticed.

Looks very nice!

Nicely done!
