All this sun and no shadow pics! I’m going to try to get out tomorrow evening - cutting it fine.

  • DJI mini 3 pro
  • 5 shot AEB merged in Affinity Photo for iPad

I had a different shadows shot planned, but it’s been murky first thing all this week, and this morning when it was clear the location is full of funfairs and market stalls setting up for PromXtra family fun day so had to go with the second option. Love how well defined the shadows of the structure are

Cricket Pitch on the South Side of Scarborough this morning with low light and long shadows.

New drone as had mini SE until last week - omg the RC2 unit makes it easier and no interference.

It looks like everyone is a winner, your task is to decide who will be first, second and third.

The three contenders are below. With just three the voting is slightly different - this time just pick the one you think is best!. The result will be declared on Monday at 22:00

@group-challenges

Congratulations to everyone who entered - either getting up early or staying out to grab these pictures of shadows. Every one a winner!

In third place is Hamish @hharron with a picture of a nicely mown Scarborough cricket pitch, taken on his new Mini 4 Pro:

In second place we welcome John @john768 with his picture of the intriguing Buck Beck Beach Bench. John is often amongst the prizewinners - one of our “frequent flyers” perhaps?

Our first place winner is, as far as our addled brains can surmise, a first time winner, possibly even a first time entrant. Welcome to Mike @LordEdam and his simple but effective picture of a jetty at Llanddulas:

Well done everyone who entered and well done to those who couldn’t / didn’t but came along to vote. Let’s hope more will enter the next round - Lakes!

The winning one fried my brain for a few days - super shot. Well done everone.

Now is there a lake nearby? I guess neither the North Sea nor the water butt in my garden count.

Btw never knew the Mini 4 pro had a landing light from heaven on it. Was trying to see the Aurora but was blinded!
