Happy Tuesday  ~  346

I feel bad today.  Some of my friends told me yesterday they felt I put a lot of stress on the pelican in the video by flying the Phantom too close to him.  I really appreciate their honesty and I certainly did not intend to cause any stress to any wildlife.  I love to capture images and video of wildlife but it is never my intent to make them uncomfortable.  I assure you that won’t happen again.

Last night was such a nice evening.  No wind at all so I took the Vision 2 up for a quick flight.  I got it a little too far away and it jumped into “come home mode.”  That’s the same mode that kept it from dumping itself into the Mississippi River last February.   I didn’t even shoot any video just wanted to fly in some very clam conditions and it was amazing how much control you have when the wind is not constantly trying to blow it off course.

I’ve shot a lot of images of gulls this year.  They have been in abundance and there are a couple of places by the river that they let you get very close to them.  I took this little guy’s image on Sunday afternoon.

Short post today.  I have an interesting day ahead of me.  Don’t know how it’s going to turn out but it will be interesting none the less.

I hope you enjoy your day.  Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
