Christmas Day
Christmas Day I spent flying unfamiliar territory in the Cascades. I've been filming in 2.7k lately and what makes this photo so special is that it's a screen export from my video! Usually I just take photos simultaneously but as I reach for higher video resolutions it's just not possible. Normally filming in 1080 and exporting a frame of video as a jpeg is almost 2 megapixels. Hardly worth working with since alot of the details are blurry. At 2.7k that's almost 4 megapixels. Just barely enough to be satisfied. Although information from the shadow areas remind me of scanning a 35mm negative and trying to work with it in photoshop. It's kind of cool nevertheless!
Here I am flying 500 feet above some pretty dense forest that seemly never ends. I was a bit worried about landing since the only decent place to launch was on the edge of a hill overlooking the river. Which was also populated with trees all around me. When I came back from a 1/2 mile exploration I had to bring it in by sight and catch it since the ground was at a slant and uneven. I usually catch it anyways but piloting from the trees is not very ideal. All is well that ends well right?
