My copilot and I, along with another couple, spent some time at Dale Hollow Lake last month.

Here are a handful of pictures I took, thanks to the Spark.

Wow, you can make that little Spark sing! Not easy picking a fav out of those great shots but that one of Geiger Island I found quite spectacular.

Thanks.

Great photos of a beautiful location. Looks like a maze of islands.

Fab shots, so well composed let alone flown. You always have such cool names for your locations over there, all we have here is Catbrain Hill!!

We usually go once a year to unwind.

You definitely learn how to read a map because it all looks the same and is easy to get lost.

No cell service in a lot of the places but the marinas have WiFi so you can check on the world if needed when visiting one.

Years ago the gang would rent a houseboat for a week and only see a small part of the lake every year because they are not built for speed. However we did have JetSki's and a support boat to see more of it, but not all of it on one trip.

Now with PWC's running at 60 mph, it's easier to see more of the lake in less time.

Thank you.

The lake has a lot of coves off of the main body and the water is smooth as glass. Perfect for skiing, tubing, fishing, etc.

Had to look up Catbrain to find out about it's name.

Glad to read that it's the type of fields and soil.

I was thinking the worst for kitty.?

Oh, I don't know, the name conjured up a certain weird yet alluring visual. Some things are best left to the imagination. ?

Great shots, Spark 317! Thanks for sharing.

It was a beautiful start to the day.

I let the Spark hover and record the clouds / fog roll through the valley and across the bay.

Very soothing.

More stunning photos. I have to do more of that with my Spark... I tend to dwell on video. Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing.

I don't have a YouTube channel (yet), so I post pictures.

I have a lot of video footage of stuff that I enjoy at home and have been practicing trying to put some projects together but my work flow needs improvement.

I'm good at starting projects, but not the best at finishing them.

Dare I ask if you are a retired person? I am aiming to be one in the next 6-12 months or so, and I am really looking forward to having more time to video-edit and of course fly... You really do need to get a channel going so we can see how you get to these great shots. What have you chosen as your editing software for video? Perhaps we can all help?

Not yet. Someday maybe.

What have you chosen as your editing software for video?

I have Pinnacle Studio 21.

I had an older version when I used video tapes, a dual deck VCR and a capture card to get the footage in and out of a PC but upgraded and now there are so many options that I have to learn (and relearn) from the ancient software that I had.

I started with Adobe Premier v.4.0 but the learning curve was a little much back in the day and found Pinnacle to be a little more user friendly.
