Description
Those 2 or so hours just before sunset, and just after sunrise are known as the "golden hours" by photographers/artists. You can see why here - and of course the golden colors of fall make it even more so.
I shot this just as the sun was setting earlier this evening with the Inspire 1 at about 200 feet altitude. It's been a couple months since I've had the drones in the air, and this was a perfect day to give the Inspire and Phantom a little 'air time.'
It's been pretty insane here, with my new position at work. It's almost like starting a new job.. Do I get more money out of it? What...... are you kidding? This is the new American way...:-P
Anyway, I'm messing with a little more 2D stuff - all the comments I got on my old pencil drawings just blew me away, so I'm inspired to do a bit more 2D, when I have time. I'm working on the next page in the T.N.A. saga, as well, and doing a bit more writing on Chapter 6.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! As always, thanks so much for dropping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support!

glad you were able to take her up. a very colorful fall capture. I recall back when I was working for a company, suddenly I would have all kinds of new responsibilities and no increase in pay unless I was working for a vice president(special projects) he would order my superiors to give me raises
G4 or Ar? Which one got this shot? Inquiring minds want to know... Very beautiful capture Rod! In a way, fall is the hardest season of all as everyone realizes that things are shutting down for the winter to come. I FULLY understand the concept of more work with no increase in pay. have a great Sunday
Jobs will never offer more money but will want more out of their employees. Dan nab this is a farking cool aerial shot, Rod. Love that golden color.
The color is amazing.
I'm more blown away by the p o v, being able to see all the pavement ends/details/layout of construction that are missed at ground level. Also, a bit curious as to what types of trees reflect these colors....
Beautiful! I never thought about what the golden hour would look like from up high, because I always think of it as an angle of the light. Wow. This is incredible! Glad you thought to do this!
And I'm SO excited that you're going to be doing more 2D drawing sorts of things! I TOLD you so!! LOL!
What a glorious view! I love the images you get with the drones.
Beautiful capture. I like the colors very much.
not knowing your history, I don't know if you flew these drones, or ran them from the ground, or something else (forgive my ignorance! I never heard of Inspire and Phantom, so I'm out of the loop here)...but I assume you're taking the shot, as it feels like a Rod landscape. It as a very sweet sweep, and lots of color and shadow, and it feels very midwestern, with a gentle vastness. Wasn't it a custom, for years, that photographers would do 'night' shots at actual twilight, to get the light but also some of darkness? This isn't twilight, of course, but that came to mind. You got the magic of this hour; and, with all that fall amber, etc, it's a splendid shot. Splendid broad capture, Rod, your landscapes are really embracing...(zoom---which goes off my monitor and into my neighbor's living room lol---really brings home your sense of the midwestern vastness)
I understand, btw, the hassles of job changes and hour pile-ups and such. The old idea of remunerating people for such things seems so "old," today, it's almost embarrassing to suggest it. I hope it works out for you, there just comes a time in one's life where they deserve to have ease and joy from their work...
It is amazing the Technology and toys we have now days I had a control line type airplane with a glow fuel engine it would make me dizzy every time I flew it and the fear of cutting off my finger I felt every time I started it.
Great shot you took here!... that Inspire 1 takes some great shots!!
Un fabuleux et merveilleux plongeon !
It's a very nice looking capture!
Wow...amazing scene
Beautiful!
fantastic image, cant wait until I get some better weather to take my phantom back out
Hey, didn't know you're a 'droner' too! which model Phantom do you have? I have a P2 Vision, and upgraded to the Inspire 1 last spring.
what a fantastic panorama my friend... Beautiful view abd capture !!!
very good shot
Nice! That's quite a vista.
