Just trying to even things out. McMac Productions has all their highly trained staff hanging around and mainly idle Mon-Fri 0900 to 1730.
Then the second weekend of the competition begins, the entries flood in and big smiles start appearing from those working the weekend shifts and earning obscene amounts of overtime.
That’s why, unless we get big manufacturer sponsorship, we can’t offer prizes for the competition winners. You will just have to be happy with the kudos and the acclaim of your fellow competitors.
I was thinking of waiting until tomorrow, when the weather might be a little better, but the site itself turned out to be a little underwhelming in the construction department so I thought I may as well just go with what I took on reconnaissance.
And my petulant little outbursts are just a means of bumping this thread every so often so as to keep the competition at the top of peoples’ “to do” kists
This photo was taken on 27th May on Water Street, Manchester using a DJI Mini 2. The building under construction is The Factory, a huge multi-function performance venue that will host the Manchester International Festival amongst other things.
I was trying to stick to just one but I can’t resist adding this one. It’s a new tower block under construction between Trinity Way and River Irwell in Salford, just the other side of the River from my previous photo.
It was taken with a DJI Mini 2 on 27th May from the same TOAL position as the previous photo (and therefore the same location on Drone Scene).
I may have counted wrong, but these are roughly floors 19 to 23 of the new building.
Due to an unexpected visit from police forensic accountants staff shortages there has been a delay in presenting the poll to select this competition’s winners.
But here it is - once you have voted for all, some, one or none of the images scroll to the bottom and hit VOTE NOW
My esteemed colleague appears to have had another one of his little brushes with officialdom as it seems that two large, black be-suited gentlemen arrived at McMac HQ in the early hours and helped him into the back of a large, black SUV which then drove off at high speed.
So it has fallen to me to announce the winners of the competition:
Big thanks to all who participated and congratulations to our worthy winners.
And, looking at the stats behind the entries I must say: Putting your TOAL point (if it’s legitimate!) on Drone Scene really helps with the ranking of your entry
Yes a big thanks to the organizers, these competitions have give me an excuse to go out and explore and keep me busy during this time of covid.
It has helped me a lot.
Thanks
