Non IOM (Lanzarote)
Aerial Photo section
Some of you may well
have seen this by now, but I didn't really want to make too much of it
as I had a few problems setting it up. I took the MINI 2 drone to
Lanzarote on our recent trip and shot quite a lot of images, but concentrating
to a degree on the 360 Interactive Panorama ones. They take a bit
of setting up for viewing but I'm now reasonably advanced in creating the
new gallery for them so I'll give it a bit of publicity here. It's
still quite a work in progress but I'll be adding new pictures on a regular
basis (when I find the time!) and I'll make another announcement when I'm
done. The gallery is linked from both the October 2021 section and
also the Aerial Pictures - '3D' Interactive Panoramas sections, or just
click the link below. The pic is us up on the high grounds above
Famara.

Yesterday we went out
for lunch at The Sound Cafe, it wasn't really intended as a photographic
trip but of course I took a camera and ended up taking
pictures at five locations!

I tried installing the
latest version of DJIs 'Fly' control software for the Mini 2 drone yesterday
so needed a quick test flight to check that it worked OK. As I had suspected,
it didn't work (new versions seem very fussy as to specific phones they
will work on) so I uninstalled it and re-installed a much older version
that would appear to work 'as advertised' by DJI on all Android phones
running v6 or upwards. The pictures around the Dhoon Glen were taken
subsequently.

A quick stroll through
Colby Glen on a very dull afternoon yesterday. There's still a lot of nice
autumn colours on the trees. Panasonic TZ200 16/11/21
18th November
Yesterday afternoon
we did a trip to Ballaglass Glen, which is probably my favourite of all
the Manx scenic glens. Although it had been sunny on and off during
the morning, by the afternoon it was solid overcast which made light levels
rather low in the glen. Nikon D7100 17/11/21

Yesterday morning I
headed down to the south, hoping to shoot some aerial pictures at The Chasms.
However, when I arrived the wind at the top was
too strong and gusty,
so the drone stayed in the back of the car and I just had a walk around
with the compact camera. Panasonic TZ200 21/11/21

On Sunday afternoon
we headed up to Ballaugh Curragh for a walk through the wetlands, not getting
back to the car until almost dark.

A trip to the Point
of Ayre on Monday morning. I hadn't been up there for a while and
the wind had dropped enough to do some aerial photography with a drone.
I hadn't flown my Phantom 4 Pro since May (the Mini 2 is just so much easier
and lighter to carry!) so wanted to take it for a flight. The first
I've pictures are with the Phantom then the rest with the Mini 2.
You probably can't see too much difference in quality at this size, but
the Phantom pics are higher resolution.

Douglas Seafront
I'd been wanting to
do these flights after the Department of Infrastructure announced a week
or so back the the promenade road works were finished. I think that
they meant the actual road surfacing as there's still quite a lot of finishing
to be done, including the temporary terminus area for the Douglas Bay Horse
Tramway somewhere around the bottom of Broadway or War Memorial area.
The final section of Horse Tramway to the Sea Terminal has been promised
for next winter and most of it has been left as a 'green corridor' between
the car parking and the sunken gardens. DJI Mini 2 25/11/21

After the gales of the
last few day, yesterday afternoon it calmed down enough to allow me to
fly a drone and I decided to try some sunset and after pictures in the
Douglas area. DJI Mini 2 28/11/21
