Sweet Home Alabama

This was a video I made in a cotton field off the Harvest Square hiking trails. I took the drone and when I got to the field I filmed this. I put it on YouTube and stripped the audio saying I didn't own the copyright. I'm going to see if it happens here since The Big G owns Blogger and YT.

I hope they don't strip it.

I'm Back With A New Hobby....

Hello everyone. I have changed this blog to my new interest. Drones.

My son bought me a DJI Spark last fall and I have been learning about it and flying it around. I like taking video and pictures with it.

Flying around the field behind the house.  Let's see if I can add some pictures taken with it....

Those were some of the first pictures I took . I still have practice to do.
The top photo was taken just before sundown on a cloudy day.
The second was taken right at sundown and was one of my first night flights. The photo is towards the northwest behind our house and the lights are of Sparkman High School where Trystan and Madi attend school.
The next is as the sunsets over the hills behind us.
The bottom was the first waypoint flight I did. You program the flight app to tell the drone what to do. It will take off by itself and finish the flight plan on its own. I had set it to go to 100ft high, fly down to the swimming pool/club house and circle it. At different positions around the club house it would stop turn and take a picture then continue to the next waypoint. I had it take 6 pictures in all and take video on the way back. Once it finished it returned to the home point and landed.
I was worried it might get confused and fly off or something but it did just as it was supposed to.
Well let me know what you think.
