A Sublime Sunday Over the Quarry
For this week's #sublimesunday, as inspired by @c0ff33a, we returned to the quarry that we visited last weekend. This Sunday, however, proved to have better weather. High sun, warm temperatures, and very little wind...which meant, it was time to break out the new drone!
I bought the Mavic Mini a bit ago thanks to the advice of @nocontextphotos , and today was the day I let it rip while out and about. The area is rich with diverse vegetation and plants, so I thought today would be a good day to get some shots from high above.
As expected, the noise of the drone caught the attention of most hikers, but most didn't seem to mind. Most, in all honesty, were more curious about it than bothered by it. Which was cool...I sometimes get bothered when someone flies a drone overhead.
The Mavic is a lot of fun; it's not YouTube van lifer quality, but I like it. Just flying it over the trails and whatnot was a lot of fun. Today, the quarry..tomorrow, Everest! Just kidding.
There is an overshot photo of the two pilots in action. My goodness, I need t lose some weight, lol! My daughter kept it cool, however, as she enjoyed the rock, it's subtle coolness and the scenes below.
All in all, it was a perfect #sublimesunday morning. More importantly, it was fun to get some legs flying the drone. I'm sure there are more photos I will share on Hive in no time.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my Sunday; until next weekend...
5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Now you have to find a heron nest to fly the drone next to.
Oh man...is that a bad idea??
Yesterday I did notice the hawks start to circle once the drone was up...I was curious if there is a relationship to bird behavior and drones
The hawks will definitely attack the drones, probably not herons if you keep a good enough distance. Here I have a place full of heron nests that are too high up for my zoom lens to see any of the baby birds in them. A drone would be super useful to look down on them.
Nice, I will have to try it! We have plenty of heron nests in the marsh near us
I wonder if there is a silent drone for sale on the consumer market. I would dress it up like a buzzard or something to trick the other birds.
