This summer, my son took me up in the hills to an old WWII abandoned bunker. How they got all that concrete way up here in the mid 40's is beyond me.
On the way down from exploring, we stopped at the wye junction in the road (you can just see us down there) and I got out my DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter to take a look around. At this point, we are more than 1/2 way down from the mountain that is to our left and behind us.
We are looking East here. Seattle would be way back there.. Canada would be to our left. I believe the quad was around 400' high when I took this.
Easter is my favorite time of year.
I took this photo using my DJI P4 quadcopter at our church. I think it was around 50 ft high.
Hope everyone has a great day. We are off to see our kids.

An Grianan of Aileach Ring Fort, Burt, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland
First constructed around 1700 BC (probably with earthen walls) by the Tuatha de Danann. An Grianan Ring Fort was once a seat of power were the ‘O'Neill Kings’ reigned from for over 700 years. An Grianan of Aileach is a famous monument in Inishowen & easily one of the greatest in all Ireland.
Strategically built along Donegal's coast on a hilltop 800 feet above sea level the view, from Grianan Fort overlooks three neighbouring counties. Legend states that the giants of Inishowen (Princes of Aileach) are lying sleeping under this hill but when a hidden sacred sword is removed from this ring fort, they will return to life reclaiming their ancient lands.....

Persistent offshore winds the last couple of days have flattened this part of the Tasman Sea adjoining the NSW Far South Coast at Cuttagee. Ominous rain cloud moving in from the southwest suggest quite different conditions tomorrow. A horizontal stitch of two frames taken by Petrov, a Phantom 3 Advanced quadcopter.

As we are in strict lock down here in South Australia for the next 6 days, my focus shifted to some old drone images to revisit.
Station Island, Lough Derg, County Donegal, Ireland
This enormous religious complex of dorms & churches etc is named ‘St Patrick's Purgatory’. Built on an ancient pilgrimage site isolated on this small island on 'Lough Derg’ meaning (Lake of the Cave). For over 1500 years pilgrims have been visiting the Lough Derg shores to find peace & pray for loved ones. Visitors to this monastery starve themselves for 3 days & nights, pray continuously & walk barefoot on sharp rocks amongst the cold & biting midges. This is all part of the pilgrimage here that is said to be one of the toughest to complete in the world!
According to legend this Island site dates from the fifth century, when ‘Jesus Christ’ showed ‘St Patrick’ a cave on Station Island. This cave was supposedly an entrance to ‘Purgatory’ that ‘St Patrick’ had visions in from the otherworld, hence the name “St Patrick's Purgatory”. The cave that started it all has been closed since 1632 and covered over by the Basilica to protect others & welcomes people from all over the world to visit & pray over the gateway for all time.

This is the place our quadcopter died when it got hit with a golf ball! Of all things... that story in a moment. Here's an amazing place on the North Island of New Zealand called @boomrocklodge ! Wow what a place. We choppered in here and had a crazy two hours — we started racing around a private racetrack inside the newest Mercedes AMG sportscar, then off to shoot clay birds, then to a driving range where you hit balls into the ocean (and quadcopters) with some drinks and tasty treats, then back home on a 10 minute helicopter flight to Wellington. It was definitely an amazing time... never seen anything like it! As for the quadcopter thing, we had the DJI Phantom 4 out taking videos. We were pretty far away, so while we were trying to get a skilled shot, Bartman got a lucky shot and took out the quad! It spiralled to the ground in a dramatic death. Curtis went deep into the bush to see what he could find. We made the recovery, and we're still pouring over the video to see if we can espy its final moment. via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy
Besides being Australia's sporting colours, this is two different spring crops, near one of my construction sites, looking down from my drone. It would be nice to go back in a few weeks when the crops are thicker.
The yellow is Canola & the green is wheat or barley probably.
There are also 2 fences if this counts
Local suburban parks are being more and more commonly used by people flying and practicing with drone toys. This is a high performance drone being flown by some local guys.
The camera in front is sending its feed back to the headset of the guy flying it.
My new DJI Phantom 3 Professional quadcopter provides me perspectives that I never had in the past. Ever since moving to Camarillo almost 11 years ago I could envision this perspective, but had no vehicle to obtain a photo. It wasn't until I used my drone/quadcopter this weekend when I saw a sunset coming on did I make this photo a reality.
The Phantom 3 shoots in DNG/RAW and has a good enough dynamic range to pull out the shadows and control the highlights. I'm only allowed to fly about 400ft above where I launch, but that's typically plenty high enough to obtain amazing shots like this. So many possibilities to come.
Killea overlooking Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland
Each year during Autumn this giant ‘Emery Celtic Cross’ appears from nowhere like a miracle, proudly stamped onto our landscape for the world to admire. I love this marvel not only for its sheer beauty but for the interesting story on how this all came to be……
This giant 100 meter long cross is now known as the 'Emery Celtic Cross' which is proudly named after its creator Liam Emery. Liam intelligently planted 2 different species of pine trees in the shape of this giant Celtic cross design 10 years ago in these woods of County Donegal. The reason being that the outer trees are evergreen and don’t drop their needles during Autumn, but the trees used for the actual cross design are not evergreen and turn a golden colour right before they drop their needles for the cold seasons ahead.
After a decade of this forestry secretly growing all the same colour, it was only a few years ago that these trees finally matured enough to shed their needles during autumn. This hidden wonder became visible for the first time and the ‘Emery Celtic Cross’ was first sighted by local passenger plane pilots who believed it to be an actual miracle 🙏 Liam we thank you for this lasting Legacy as you have certainly put a stamp on Ireland 💚

Late evening sun casts long shadows and goldend light over a field of rapeseed on the outskirts of York.
This was taken using a camera equipped quadcopter at an altitude of 6.3 metres above ground and is the first proper landscape I've shot in this way.
For reference I used a DJI Phantom 2 Vision equipped with a DJI FC200 camera mounted on a Rotorpixel gimbal and controlled from the ground using an iPhone and the DJI app which allows first person view control.

Some context for the spherical pano posted recently. Looking upstream along the main estuarine reach of the Hunter River towards Stockton Bridge. Baiame's camera gimbal can be rotated to a vertical alignment while in flight - handy, but resultant frames are too tall for my taste, so I've chopped a bit off the top and bottom here.
And here's a wider context view of much of the headland. Lower right provides a view of the generally hexagonal form of the columns; a pattern repeated the world over (eg Ireland's Giant's Causeway) where similar lavas have had the right conditions in which to cool and solidify.
I was doing a run around this lake (it’s about 8 km and a little bit hilly as you can see there on the right), and I noticed how still everything was. It’s not always like this… so halfway through the run, I decided to call my assistant and have them bring out my quadcopter to grab this shot. Drones are so good nowadays; I almost prefer to use them over my regular camera. When it comes to shooting landscape photos, the f-stop isn’t especially important since you want everything in focus anyway. Also, it has around the same number of megapixels as my high-end Sony, so there is not a lot of difference. And, if you are making panoramas, you can still make prints at least 10ft across, which is more than big enough for major installations.
I took my quadcopter to a new high to see the curve of the earth over Grand Cayman island during another amazing sunset. Next, heading to Aruba then San Juan then St. Thomas before stopping in Cairo to visit the Great Pyramids and then back to New Zealand. #grandcayman #caymancookout #rcmemories #ritcarlton @ritzcarlton via Trey Ratcliff on FB at ift.tt/1v05hWZ Snapchat: treyratcliff ift.tt/1qx3iMJ Instagram: treyratcliff ift.tt/1c7s6Uy

We went to Nevada's Black Rock Desert to participate in a rocket launch event. On Saturday night we cooked a nice steak and had wine for dinner - yummy! At sunset I placed my wine glass on the playa and started shooting the glass against the sun. It was a beautiful scene with the very low angle of the sun - the mountains are far away.
My friend played around with his quadcopter - he was taping me from above while I was crouching down to take pictures of the wine glass. At one point he flew very low, and by accident decapitated the glass with a rotor blade. Shards of glass and wine splattered all around, and by coincidence I captured everything at the right moment! Oh, in case you wonder, we are still best friends!
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure and carefully pulled the curves. I also removed lens flare below the quadcopter.

An idea I've tinkered with in the past, a flight mode for Arthur's personal vehicle/a flash forward of The Empress' future in the age of flying cars.
The quadcopter design I've used has always been inspired by Roland Skof-Peschetz's beautiful Quadcopter concepts and blew it out of the water again with his fantastic Ferrari Quadcopter design www.flickr.com/photos/rpeschetz/49703750387/in/faves-9757...
