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
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.
Camden Hills
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.
Waldoboro to Martin Point (Friendship) Video
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.
In case they choose not to give my FAA medical certificate back…
I’m getting in shape to climb the hills and dales by foot rather than by air.
The lady slippers are out, almost everywhere you look.

Final Cut Pro goes to Mt Washington, NH, USA
I’ve been working to improve my editing chops with a Ripple Training course on Final Cut Pro. The on-line course is excellent, my old brain, not so much. But it’s fun and sometimes you can teach and old dog new tricks.
I’m only about halfway through the course, so there is much more to come.
Great Flight Downeast
We had a great flight to Eastport. Pictured here are the West Quoddy and the St Croix River Lighthouses. Beautiful weather all the way Downeast. Came back with a low pass over the Princeton airport.
Heading to Eastport, ME tomorrow
Hope to photographer last two lighthouses not in my collection. This will complete my 2021 Maine lighthouse project. I hope to get additional pics of West Quoddy light as well. If you’d like to go and don’t mind sitting in the back and being occasionally wind blow when I open the window to take pictures, let me know.
