105Km winds? Whaaaat? But perhaps if you're only flying one way... ?  ;-)
And OK. Now check P29  'Vision System and Infrared Sensing System'. Haha.  Regardless, the P4/P4P will clearly do it with caution - if flying low, turn off VPS and maintain LOS; if flying high, keep alert for low flying planes (a couple of restored WWII prop fighter planes were doing practice runs over the lake that day... very cool!).

So it that Mcevoy Island in the foreground?

No - Cub and Lion Island respectively. But you encouraged me to go to a map. OK, the old town is more like 2Klm to the left of the photo...

Yes, we may not agree.
My manual very clearly states 'Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: ... d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces' - it doesn't say 'avoid'. Unless, of course, that's stated elsewhere in the manual. Hey, it wouldn't be the first time...

very nice pix bro !!!

Well, a little 'washed out' but thanks Jay. But just to throw more doubt into the mix, this photo was on the same day and my P4 would have barely been 10 metres off the water. The Gods must have accepted my chicken sacrifice after all...

I capture single frames from 4K videos and apply simple editing using Google Picassa on my Win 10 PC. Nothing more complex than that. I have Lightroom too, but rarely open it - Picassa does enough. Amazing that it's free too... As is Microsoft ICE (for panoramas) - I still can't believe that one!
