Cheers Colin :+1: :blush:

@Drumsagard My only memory of Loch Lomond is slipping on a frosty West side jetty, near Luss and ending up AoverT on a sunny winters morning before driving through the mountains up to Glen Douglas for work. Sun was coming up between the peaks and I didn’t have a camera in those days. :disappointed_relieved:

I’ve actually done that on the pier at Luss on a winter wedding shoot. Piers and jetty’s should come with a government health warning! :joy:

Testing out the Air 3 on some Astrophotography at 8.40pm this evening. The 70mm lens does capture the moon better than any other drone I’ve had before.

Without a doubt :rofl:

And knowing @clinkadink as well as we do, he probably pulled out of that slipstream and overtook it at the stratosphere ftw :rofl:

I do prefer this version of events compared to mine, but sadly my max altitude was 120m.

A few more from 24 January. Great winter sunset near Day’s Lock on the Thames with Wittenham Clumps in the background, mostly 3 frame HDR merges. Air 2S.

A day out at Bristol today with the kids. I’ve wanted to visit the SS Great Britain for a long time, despite working in Bristol for 3 years prior to the pandemic.

When the SS Great Britain was launched in Bristol on 19 July 1843, she was famously the largest (and fastest) ship in the entire world. Spanning a length of over 322ft (98m), she was over 70ft longer than her nearest rival, and was the first screw-propelled, iron-hulled ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Also wanted the kids to experience some culture too, and thankfully they thoroughly enjoyed it. Being able to walk through and under the ship in the same dry dock where it was built was amazing. They’ve recreated scenes onboard using mannequins, and have speakers in each of the cabins of typical conversations back in the 1850’s. Very entertaining and educational.

It cost £22 for me and my two teenagers. Which I think is a bargain. It took about 2 hours.

Whilst there, it’d be rude not to launch the Mini 3 Pro and grab a few shots.

Non drone photos here.
