Abominable Abdominal

Enough said on that subject; although, I will add no more cutting. Ugh!

Reviewing my last flight for additional sunset pictures. I kind of like this one.

White Mountains and Mount Washington, July 2022.

Oscar’s Video

Emmeline’s boyfriend Oscar, created this video from our flight on July 18. Sorry, so far no shots of Oscar. Oh wait, here’s a non aviation picture taken by Anne Ferrard.

Plus an explosive ending, recommended by Nicholas, no more boring videos.

The GoPro’s are fair to good, but if you want to zoom in on a subject while editing, the lack of resolution is a real problem. In this video, I first reframed the shot of the grass field and then tried to zoom in on the seaplane. Less than optimal results. Take a look.

Androscoggin River at Bethel

Aerial views, Aviation, River, Video

Yesterday I flew my first solo flight to Bethel since last year. I was able to shoot some pretty good video of the Androscoggin River at Bethel. I decided to give myself a one day deadline to shoot the video, edit it and upload it. I made it, but of course, I see things that I could have done better.

I’ve been working on this one off and on for several weeks. Color grading is not quite right, partially due to using both GoPro 8 and 9’s and partially because I don’t know what I’m doing. This video does a good job displaying the improved stabilization of the GP 9 when compared to the GP8. So why didn’t I use the GP9 more. It doesn’t send the display of what you are shooting to the iPhone, the GP8 does. Go figure, in some cases, the newer model has less capabilities than the older model.

Five Islands and an Updated Video

Our favorite lobster pound in the Midcoast Maine area is Five Islands. After flying by it a couple of days ago I decided to make a short video of it from the air. I then added an earlier video of my grandson jumping off their wharf into the cold Atlantic. Brr, but fun!

I also updated my video of the same flight this time from Waldoboro to Friendship and my sister’s cabin. This one clearly identifies her cabin.

Now that I have my medical back, I’m back to shooting video. I have lots t process, but since family and friends are visiting this summer, I thought I’d put this together for them.

I Got my Medical Cert Back and More…

Aviation

Yay, I can fly again by myself. I actually enjoying it more when I am flying with others, but its nice to know I can go up alone. A big thank you to Congresswoman Chellie Pingree’s office for assisting me regain my certificate.

I think that it is time to redo this web site. Thus far I’ve been concentrating on aerial photography and video stuff. My overall photography, videography skill level needs improvement. So. I’ll be reworking this web site to incorporate both aerial and land based images, maybe even some drone work. My primary subject matter will be Maine, but other areas will be added when feasible.
