Sense of stillness
SUNSET OVER SOUTH BAY
Sunset over South Bay
Today was overcast, pretty much all day, but the sky was finally breaking near the beach (at least seen from where I was), and I thought it may turn out to be a fantastic sunset. But I didn’t feel like driving out to the beach.
Instead, I pulled out my old DJI Mavic Pro and let it take off from a little park nearby. While the massive blanket of clouds was still hovering overhead, it was very clear out in the ocean, and the sun was clearly visible. No marine layer.
It had been a while, so I totally forgot how sensitive the gimbal wheels and the sticks were. I flew it away from the park so that I could position it near I-405 and high enough to catch the sun dropping behind the ocean horizon.
The sense of stillness across South Bay created by the soft light was very palpable while the blanket of clouds soaked in red was hovering overhead as if the entire sky was blotted out by the alien spaceship. And there was a small but bright dot barely floating above the horizon.
I am planning to fly the drone more often. Stay tuned.
