    Pretty new at this...

    I did a little with clarity with Lightroom. Colors are pretty true from the card. Cropped a small bit to cut out a plastic grocery bag that was in the tree in the foreground to the left.

    A liitle narrative here. Its a locks and dam basically built in the 1930s to provide a water source to the Augusta, Georgia metro area.

    Pretty new at this...

    I'm pretty new at this whole flying thing but I'm learning more and more every flight. I took my Spark down to the Savannah River near Augusta Georgia yesterday. I am still building up the nerve and confidence to fly it over water. baby steps.

    Best software?

    Well about this. I read the comments in the thread and downloaded it last night and went to bed. (Filmora). Woke up and installed it. Played with the software for about 10 minutes and WOW! I registered it immediately. Where has this little gem been hiding!!! THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING IT!!!

    Landing Gear

    As a side note. I saw these and didn't know whether the laugh or just get scared of the entire thought of landing on water. I guess in a damp/wet field they might be ok. Weight? Overall bounciness? I'll just not fly in those conditions.

    Landing Gear

    Yeah for $8, buy both types and find the one you like. Honestly its super simply and inexpensive and like I said. Even if they don't keep all the dust and dirt out it makes me feel better about taking off and landing in a field. Here's the four legged style: https://amzn.to/2pR2i8p

    Rock climbing on Costa Blanca in Spain

    Awesome video! And a nice touch with the pano of the mountain from another user. Puts it all into perspective! Thanks for this entire post!

    Landing Gear

    One of the problems I have with my Spark is how low to the ground it sits when taking off or landing. I am not sure if the Mavic series are the same. I get concerned about dust and other ground debris blowing up into the avionics or the camera gimble. I was poking around on Amazon and saw...

    Fly away in Gesture Mode

    Ahhh ok. Sorry I misunderstood. I keep hearing more and more about erratic behavior in gesture mode so I think I am just NOT going to use it. It's pretty edgy technology anyway and honestly of little use. Some applications might make it useful but they are not worth the risk to me.

    Fly away in Gesture Mode

    One thing I did notice, you were facing the camera INTO the sun at a couple of points. This could have caused the issue as it lowers the contrast across the entire image. Just a thought.

    Fly away in Gesture Mode

    Yeah I'm thinking, after my experience and Chris' that Gesture Mode is off the menu for now. Just too sketchy. And to be honest, not really useful except for impressing the kids in the neighborhood with your Jedi Mind Tricks

    Fly away in Gesture Mode

    That could have been disastrous! But might be a little funny too. Just so you know, if you can grab it and turn it on it's back it will shut down the motors. You don't have to pull the battery. I learned this flying in my living room. I suspect lighting is VERY VERY critical in Gesture...
