Sunrise After Storm Nelson....



Sadly I missed the best of the colour getting into a safe position to take off with the drone,   luckily from Sunday that will be easier with our clocks changing.  




Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Very nice shot, like the framing and the boat.

Lovely shot DA.    Still looks a bit wintry in that shot.  Good to finally get your clocks moved ahead.

Yes,  cant wait until Sunday although we heading out to cook lunch for the family which may curtail the day somewhat.

Yes,  I may have wrecked my chance to see an art exhibition that I think ends on Sunday,   my bad as if Id kept my mouth shut we wouldn't be doing it.

Just got to bite the bullet and do the right thing.  Maybe you can make it to the exhibit on Saturday.

Looks much better that morning - if still rather cold.

Very little sunrise this morning,   but some good reflections.       Running a bit late due to the protestor blocking access to Lidl.

Oh and Tesco had sold out of easter eggs this morning,  can you believe that.

You  maybe left it a bit late to go Egg hunting
Beautiful cloudless sky here today. I should be out droning.
Happy Easter!

Luckily I made a mistake,  the notification that showed it closing was saying the 28th,  but on double checking its actually extended until the 28th of April so I got a second chance.

I hadnt left it late,   the MIL called late last night as she had forgotten that she wanted some for visitors,   and my hard cut off seems to be getting ignored for the deadline for the shopping lists.

Had a lovely still flight along the river this morning,    but now the sky is very flat and white.  

Happy Easter too.

That worked out great then.

Sounds like you day is off to a great start, at least weather wise.  

Happy Easter!

Same to you RDB.
Having fun programming Litchi missions and flying the M2Z today.
Lovely weather for a change.

Good to hear you are having great weather.  Also nice to get the M2Z out of the hangar for a flight.

It loves Litchi Missions - and so do I

Litchi?  Who's Litchi?   

Just kidding.  I wish DJI would release the SDK for more of their drones so Litchi could work its magic on them also.

There's a beta version for the Mini3Pro with the RC N-1 controller.
But I have the DJI-Dedicated RC. Darn.

Unfortunately, Litchi Pilot is not yet available for the Air 3.

Good shot I like the clouds in the distance

On the later models, waypoints missions are abandoned should there happen to be signal loss, too.
Which could be frustrating.

Happy Easter DT,   we can say that now it's Sunday,   funny thing happened this morning,   there was a crowd at the Castle this morning and it turned out to be a church service.

It still added quite a few functions to the Mini 2 back in the day.

Interesting location for an Easter service.  


Yes, it is officially Easter now.  I just jumped the gun by a few hours.

I even got it to work with the Mini One.

I see a few April fools jokes jumped the gun too,   guess they didnt know there was 31 days in March.

Blériot53 Posted at 3-31 09:41

Good to know.  I just donated both my Mini and Mini 2 to the local high school for use in their STEM classes.  Thinking seriously about donating my Air 2 also. That would still leave me with the Air 2S, Air 3 and Mini 3 Pro.

I noticed that also.  Even saw where the 29 days in February this year caused a few hiccups.

There were loads of issues this year,  makes me wonder why these days really.

I doubt you'd miss a couple from that line-up

Seems to always be a glitch with something these days.

That's what I'm thinking.  I hate to get rid of the Air 2S but the Air 3 can and does out perform it.  Maybe I'll just donate the Air 2 and Air 2S.  I definitely want to keep the Mini 3 Pro as it is easy to travel with.  I'm definitely hanging onto my Skydio 2+.  To date it is the best drone available at sport's tracking.

I offered the Mini One to my grandson, but he wasn't interested.
So I swapped it for a pre-used Android smartphone to use with the Mavic2Zoom.
