This isn't a great photo, but I'd like to diversify my image stream and I'm hoping that as time goes on, I get some better photos of the local wildlife.

Let's call this a benchmark photo and see if I can beat it in the weeks to come.

Sharing this in Celcius, because -22C seems more impressive than -7F.

It's -10(F) today and flying a drone requires bare fingers, so I was not in the air for long.

I did take some time to try flying after dark and seeing what I could do with the camera after dark (with my limited skills).

This was the best shot of the day, I think.

Using jpg files for now, since I don't have time to process the RAW files.

Well, a little sunlight helps freshen things up a bit and I tried a change of perspective.

Here, I've used a drone to take a photo only 18 inches off the ground.

I've taken so many photos of snow covered trees in the last week. It's getting boring.

Do I take some days off or keep shooting, hoping to surprise myself with something fresh.

Asking for a friend...

All those beautiful snow covered trees I've been posting come with a cost. Large tree branches are breaking everywhere and taking down power lines.

Our power has been down for over 12 hours with no clear indication how much longer it will be.

Had to drive 20 minutes to coffee shot today to get power and internet.

Well, a temporary hiatus on sunset images. Yesterday and today have provide some pretty spectatular opportunities.

Trying to take something other than sunsets.

I thought I might find something interesting in the shadows.

I am usually out and available to take photos at sunset, so how can I not take these photos.

Am hoping to find other subjects as well, but frankly there isn't much color in a winter other than the sunset.

I think these will look a little better as I get better processing them with . These versions are untouched.

Reading articles about Drone Photography to get better at composition and drone settings.
