OK, it's been a while. Now that the holidays are over I was able to upload images from one of three flights to the website.
As mentioned previously, in late November/early December I took a trip to Arizona and Utah. I took the Phantom and Q7 to try to get some 'aerial landscapes'. The group just posted was from a flight in Moab, Utah. I tried to get a photo of La Sal mountain, south of Moab. The flight was done in the back yard of a house we rented for a few days. It had snowed a couple days earlier and everything was covered in snow. I placed the Phantom on what I thought was a firm snow pack, and it sunk into the snow.
But, not too far. A few blobs of snow ended up on the 02 Zoom lens, so you'll see some spots here and there. Given my earlier experiences with battery longevity in the cold, and my own freezing bits, the flight was short, and, in retrospect, the Phantom didn't go as high as I think it could have. The result is that I only got the peaks of La Sal. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make another trip.
The set of the best shots of the flight can be found at
MCHerdering Photography and click on the 'Aerial Photography' link on the upper left.
(It appears the program I used to generate the web page stripped the EXIF data from the images. I'll be fixing that soon.)
