This is one of only a few grain elevators still standing. Every town and village had one or several of them. On the flat prairies, they were the first thing you'd see in the distance when approaching a town. Most have been burned or torn down now except for a few that were left standing for the benefit of drone pilots.;)

Very nice video! Love to watch these rural scenery from different countries, there is always something that define the location. We still have many of those elevators in province. Maybe someday I would shoot it too.
Your pilot abilities are great, camera movements very smooth and steady. I really like these shots when drone rotating and moving right/left simultaneously.
Very well done!

Nicely shop - well done!  Great camera/drone coordination.  Enjoyed it very much.  When you were flying parallel and with the train I thought it would be fun to be in sport mode and slowly increase the drone speed until it match the train speed.  Would love to see the effect.

Our mid-section used to have a lot but they've been replaced by big ugly concrete monoliths. That's progress, I guess.

Thank you, Lysak. The drone's biggest payoff is smooth, steady shots so I try to make mine as smooth as I can, and I think it pays off in the end. I'm starting to get the rotating shots down now. They take a lot of practice.

Thanks, Mccloud, glad you liked it. Excellent idea for the train shot. I didn't use sport mode because I was flying sideways and thought the picture would be tilted to one side, but it's something to think about the next time.

BTW, when I want to add some smoothness, I convert the image from 30fps to 23,976 fps. Sometimes it helps.

Thank you, Arno. I let that shot go longer than usual because of the train.

Kenya must be an awesome place to fly a drone. I spent some time in Nigeria (about a hundred years ago;)), and loved it.

The Spark has rejuvenated me in my retirement. It helps that my wife is totally on board with it because it keeps me out of her hair.

I'm hoping to get another DJI product in the near future, a Mavic 2 Pro. Fingers crossed... If its durability and quality matches the Spark's, I will be happy.

Thanks. It's a busy rail line and the trains tend to be long so when they came along, I had time to play with them. The audio was from a passing train I shot with my dSLR a few years ago, just a few hundred yards from that elevator.
