RTF Windmill flight
Targeted 2 local windmills today only a short drive from home , not quite as impressive as the entries already submitted but I will have to choose the best from my morning out.
wasn’t concentrating on composition much as there was a flight problem , 2 weeks ago my son borrowed and crashed my baby , ended up in a tree and when he managed to dislodge it she fell to the ground and the upper cover was damaged in a couple of places , he tested it and said all was well and ordered a replacement cover which I am waiting to arrive , However when I did this test flight today the reverse function wouldn’t operate so photography really wasn’t my priority more interested in flight safety, I have since noticed reverse works in sport mode so I’m assuming a sensor problem ? further investigation required

Got my first proper flight in with my new mini 2. Always wanted to get up close-ish to a windmill and get some shots and the weather was perfect but a little late in the day for lighting. Here’s the result, edited in LR to look a bit prettier lol.

That was your first proper flight, balls of steel! :joy:

:joy: I had a spark before this so have a little experience but the mini 2 is on a whole other level (minus the tracking feature :frowning: )!

@milkmanchris … Hi Chris, they say “the camera never lies” …but I’ve taken photos of brilliant looking sky’s and the images have been disappointing …was the human eye view of this scene more spectacular than your “straight from the card” image
