I recently had the opportunity to fly a new drone around and do some shake down photos with it. I chose this farmstead to check out. I wandered around it two days in a row a while back, and it was a fantastic place to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I love old barns and old houses, and this site didn’t disappoint. It’s tough to get good photos this time of year because of the long shadows, but it worked out fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, of course, we have the windmill. I’m a sucker for those. The presence of at least the remains of a windmill was a bonus for this flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example of those long shadows. Dang. But wow, what a sky in the background, eh? I love the contrast clouds bring into the sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a really cool old barn-slash-garage. I am not a fan of shooting into the sun, but sometimes you do what you’ve got to do. I’m just glad we had some nice weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s some better light. Not the side of the garage I wanted to get, but definitely the light and the sky. The blue sky and the golden grass complement each other very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, shooting into the sun like they tell you never to do. But heck, I had to get a view into the garage. Thanks to some aggressive processing, I got the data I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloudless sky, while normally something I try to avoid, actually worked out pretty nicely in this shot. What a beautiful sunset, even though it’s behind the camera in this photo. It won’t be long until this landscape is blanketed in white – hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shakedown cruise(s) complete, I’m ready to start exploring some of the new features of the addition to my drone fleet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
