The Beaches of St Ives, Cornwall

After what seems like weeks of rain and grey, I took advantage of yesterday’s sun to fly the various beaches of St. Ives, Cornwall. I hope you enjoy the views

Your usual excellent Cornish vid. :clap:

I was in Cornwall over Christmas … based near Newquay.

Took my drones, but constant misty/foggy/drizzly weather meant they never even got charged up. :joy:

It’s been pretty much the same since then, non stop

Many thanks for the kind words

Any vids of the whale that’s been around those parts? That appeared the day after I headed home.

My luck in its usual form. :stuck_out_tongue:

Particularly like the crashing waves.

Yup, me too. It was surprisingly windy, hence the choppy sea

So nice to see your work again - enjoyable - thanks.

Enjoyed very much, as I have been to St Ives a few times. The waves looked a bit scary, how far were you from them, I ask as I lost a film SLR over 40 years ago to a wave there?

Thanks for the kind comments. I was on a bench above where the waves were breaking - you can see me in the 2nd slow mo clip where the drone is facing back towards the land, so it was easy to make sure I and the drone were not in danger of being caught by the waves - I zoomed in a little too when editing the clip. I’m always extra careful when filming breaking waves as I lost my first drone (a Mavic Air 2) about 3 years ago in the sea when it got caught by spray from a breaking wave when I got too close, and it then just shut down and was lost to the deep!!
