I've photographed all the interesting rural scenes. I know the feeling. I often run out of ideas of where to go to photograph something new. But, photography is all about finding the shot where there doesn't seem to be a shot. Dunno where you are in Indiana...but no cable internet? Boonville or further west? In the middle of Jasper, Petersburg, and Washington. I attended a wedding in Jasper in 2010. A friend from high school and college owned a railroad car that he kept in the railroad museum near French Lick. We boarded the train in French Lick, rode down to Jasper on the French Lick Scenic Railway route, and the ceremony was performed while the couple stood on the vestibule of the car. It was the first marriage for the 72 year-old groom. (A retired divorce attorney) The railroad car was built in 1913 for the President of the Seaboard railroad, and has three bedrooms, lounge, dining room, kitchen, and crew quarters. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-.../i-C8qPQvF.jpg My friend paid to have his car hooked up to Amtrak on several occasions. In 1987, the car went from French Lick to New Orleans where I.U. was in the final round of the NCAA tournament. (I.U. vs Syracuse...Keith Smart with the winning basket) I was in NYC on business at the time, and had brought my wife on the trip. We went down to Washington DC from NYC, met the train, and rode in the private car to Orlando. To go from French Lick to New Orleans on Amtrak lines requires a rather circuitous route. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Did you know his father came from Scotland? Kenneth John Peel? I'll bet I'm the only Yank here that understands that reference. D'ye think I'm right? Did you know his great-grandson was John Ravenscroft? Now you have lost me :-) -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

This one happens to have an English side to his family which included one scot uncle, and three scot cousins (two still alive). D'ye ken that? I remember “D’ye ken John Peel” being sung/played as a child. Naturally that “John Peel” had little do do with Robert Peel. So, at least two of us ken that! We sang “D’ye ken John Peel” at camp in Wisconsin shortly after the glaciers retreated. “D’ye ken John Peel. At the break of day...." |

As I said above, it was shot at 4K 60fps, ISO100, SS 1/120, with an ND16+CPL filter. Rendered using iMovie. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-XVQXqpV/0/0ad11a2c/1920/MB-701-4K60-1920.mp4 Nice. Tip: edit these down to about 4-6 minutes (tops). Now that makes sense! Those files get to be quite fat for upload purposes, and then there is the viewer boredom factor to consider. ;-) -- Regards, Savageduck Another question: what speed is the drone flying at? For that flight in “Normal Mode” the speed was 23-27 mph (37-43 kph). With a few stops to hover and capture a panorama. also what is it's max speed in dead air? From the specs: in “Sport Mode” the max speed is 19m/sec or 42.5 mph, in “Normal Mode” 12m/sec or 26.8 mph, and in “Tripod Mode” 5m/sec, or 11.1 mph. And does the speed influence the image quality... It can. However, there are other camera settings which play a bigger part. Consider settings of frame rate, and shutter speed. Then there is the engineering, and software that controls the drone itself to deliver the incredible stability to the camera gimbal. A huge contributor to image quality is the wide angle view and distance to the subject. This masks a lot of vibration and vehicle dynamics that would otherwise appear in the video. |
