A few photos and a video.  These were all taken around 3:45pm.  The Robinson River was MUCH higher earlier in the day, over the bridge on Beahm Town Road, which is VERY VERY rare.  This is the only time I’ve actually seen it over that bridge.

Looking ‘down river’ towards Rt 15 and Orange.
Four stitched photos looking ‘down river’.
Intersection of Fords Shop Road (left side of photo) and Beahm Town Road. Earlier in the day, the intersection was under water.

….okay, you can call it a “drone” if you like.   I’ve just had it a few days so I’m still learning to fly.  The photos are from a GoPro HD Hero camera, which is one of GoPro’s earliest cameras.  I’ve had that for quite a while, but had no way to get it up in the air :-).  Below are a few video clips pieced together….mostly to show you what NOT to do!  DON’T try to learn to fly in the woods!!  An open field is MUCH better!

And a few photos from today.  Not a very photogenic day, but I was anxious to get out and fly around.  (The GoPro has a VERY wide angle lens.  These have been corrected in Lightroom to remove the curvature that is the result of that lens.  That’s why you see a bit of blurring in the lower corners.  Maybe I shouldn’t have done that, but I like my horizons flat.)

Our driveway below.  I liked the look of that curve.

And finally, here’s a video from YouTube, NOT MINE, that was shot by a pro wedding photographer.  He uses the aerial footage in the introduction of his wedding videos to showcase the wedding venues.  Pretty cool!!!  It’ll be a while before I have the guts to fly over water!!  🙂
