Car Chase
I had this idea for a car chase using a remote control car and a drone. The practicality of such a video proved much harder than I expected. I also would need to zoom closer to the target to make the video worthwhile.
Isle du Bois

Philadelphia and Camden
On a work trip to Philadelphia I was able to take a little time to take some pictures and video.

At one point Apple security tried to discourage enthusiastic remote pilots but that proved to be a harder task than they thought.… Read the rest “SEIR Building Project”
Penitentiary Hollow
Pictures from and around Penitentiary Hollow at Lake Mineral Wells State Park. This is a nice park for some light hiking. There was a bit of a squall brewing when I was there which made it a bit too windy for flying the drone.… Read the rest “Penitentiary Hollow”
