Cheers col

No mate, went out to try & clear my head, me & the boy has flu :face_with_head_bandage: made me feel worse :sweat_smile:

Trip back home to Pembrokeshire last month, taken a while to process the footage. My bad.

Tenby … who would have thunk it - I used to be an Ice cream van driver on the beaches there in the late 80’s - them were the days :wink:

And one of the Cleddau Bridge, mere meters from my home. Sadly, it collapsed shortly after being built in 1970 (now rebuilt). You can actually see the gap in the terraced houses in the last photo below.
P.S. mad fact - it is where the Millenium Falcon off Star Wars was built. I used to load spuds on a fork lift in the same hangar 7 in the dockyard (visible on the left peninsula below).

Below, you can see the missing houses in the terrace … they unfortunately didn’t make it when the bridge collapsed.

A few from Sea Palling in Norfolk after my recent holiday and using dronescene to find locations to fly. Thanks to @rustybarnet (Andy) for adding the locations, was a great help :ok_hand:t2:

Such an unusual beach, with it’s massive tide breaks and high dunes. I also wouldn’t fancy swimming here the hidden rips that those tide breaks cause must be pretty strong and dangerous. Still a fantastic place to fly :grin:

Heading back from a great week up in the north east, we stopped in Saltburn by the Sea to photograph the Cliff lift for the RTF challenge and the simple pier caught the mid morning sun well.

ss: 1/500 second, ISO: 100, DJI Mini 2.

A few others from the same group of photographs, including the Cliff Lift.

The location already has a couple of pins in dronescene, so just adding a wiki link

I am still getting to grips of droning. But here my first posted photo in this forum of Neyland in Pembrokeshire. Feedback is welcome.

I flew near there a couple of weeks ago, lovely place.

Neyland is almost as bad as Pembroke Dock, sorry @Slaine

Is not as bad as Swindon :rofl:

Nothing … NOTHING … is as bad as Swindon - the armpit of Wiltshire :rage:

Thank you Kirky for the feedback. I like the place.

It is not that bad. But thank you for the feedback.

I wasn’t really following this thread properly and thought for a moment you meant Swindon…

After drone club meet. A photo session and supporting a workshop on light trails I decided to get the drone out and do a few shots over Queensway and snow hill.

@firstadekit Great shots Ade. Love to know your TOAL spots. Haven’t been to Brum since we got a Nandos and an Odean LUX built in Stafford. Spent ages going around in circles in heavy traffic while all the roads were being ripped apart for HS2 and redevelopment! Is it any better now?

St Phillips cathedral for these ones. I had people with me and wouldn’t recommend flying solo around there at night. Too many weirdos about.

That said with the nights drawing in will be able to get these shots with more public about. Just recommend you come back with plenty of battery to land safely. That’s the dicey part really.

As for the roads. Forever changing. I always put the sat nav on.

Took the M3 out with the neon green “stealth” props for a quick flight on the first dry evening of the week.
Definitely going to get more use out of this than the P4, even hand catching for the first time was a dream :heart_eyes:
