WARREN CONNECTICUT – More work with the drone. I used it today to get angles other than straight down – capturing ordinary images that would have otherwise required a tall ladder or a cherry picker. I’m experimenting with stitches as well.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – A couple of good developments today. First, we’ve actually finished three rooms in the renovation and expansion project that we started here late last summer – see a finished bedroom below.
Second, my drone arrived. I spent a couple of hours learning how to turn it on and take off and land, and finally to get it airborne and navigated around here. On the first major outing I ran it into some tree branches – it’s good at avoiding obstacles but not small wires and branches – without major damage. I found out why the manufacturer includes a couple of extra sets of rotor blades. You’re going to see a lot of shots from high angles on weekends as I master it. The challenge of course is taking photographs that have interest beyond their point of view.
So here you go:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had the benefit of some visual riches today. Midtown street scenes worked well. Interestingly we had an invitation to a party in the 86th Floor penthouse at 432 Park Avenue, the needle luxury building that I’ve been circling from the ground for a while. I got a tour of the common facilities – a pool, gym, restaurant and so on – as well.
