Happy Friday!

A very late post for me but since I am so late it will take care of Saturday as well.  The video of the golf course is what took so much time. That and building a composite still photo of the entire golf course.

Above is a candid shot of Trevis Mayfield, owner of the Maquoketa Sentential Newspaper.  He was photographing the Chamber Golf Event and I caught him trying to take a picture of me taking a picture of the speaker.  🙂

There is a 5.30 minute video at the end of this post, which (spoiler alert) shows the infamous mooning of the drone.  🙂

There are many times when I would much rather just photograph a golf course then play golf on it.  Golf courses are serene places of natural beauty and it seems a shame to spoil them with golf. 🙂

Maquoketa_CC_Composite-2015

This is a composite image of the Maquoketa Country Club above, which took over two hours to build.  It actually only took about an hour to build the first one.  I inadvertently deleted it and had to start from scratch.  It is made up of 5 different video grabs from the drone.  If you don’t look at it with a magnifying glass it is a pretty decent composite.

Yes it has some flaws in it.  The images were taken from different angles and it’s hard to get everything all lined up.  I think two hours was enough time to spend on it.   If I were doing it for a paying client I would have spent a lot more time on it making it perfect.

If you have a few minutes (5 minutes & 30 seconds to be exact) you might enjoy the video and the mooning.

That’s it for today.  Sorry to be so late with this.  I hope you had a great Friday and will have a better Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by the blog and be careful.
