Backyard Buck
Just “Bucking” around in the backyard This pretty boy was hanging out in the backyard the other afternoon trying to get the attention of a couple doe in the trees on our empty lot. Luckily he was too busy watching his girlfriends to notice the dumb human with the camera. If this boy knows whats […]
NY Jets vs Redskins (Go JETS!)
NY Jets vs Washington Redskins – Week Six For my birthday over the summer, my wife ex got the family tickets to the NY Jets / Washington Redskins game at MetLife Stadium yesterday. I’m a long suffering Jets fan, she a long suffering ‘Skins fan and they rarely play each other. The winner would have […]
Sunset over Albrightsville
Sunset photos from 100 Feet over Albrightsville Still getting the hang of the Phantom 3 – as well as third party applications. Tonight it finally stopped threatening to rain, and the wind died down here in Albrightsville Pennsylvania, so I took out the drone and fired up a new app I grabbed: AutoPilot (iOS: App Store) and […]
More Phantom Photos – then a crash
The tree jumped out in front of me … honest officer Flying the Phantom UAV around after work, playing with the controls, got a bit more comfortable so I took it up between 350 and 400 feet and out into the forest somewhere around 500 feet. Got a couple good images, which I cleaned up in […]
Phantom 3: First Flight
First Flight @ Home So, I got a chance to take the Phantom 3 out before the sun went completely down and took a quick video from about 225 feet over the house and a bunch of photos at varying heights … Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means or stretch of the word, but […]

Budapest: Saint Matthias Church III
Mátyás-templom (Saint Matthias Church) I’ve posted other photos of Saint Matthias Church in my Budapest photo gallery, but I really did like the way this image came out. This building has had a long, somewhat crazy, history. Tradition holds Saint Stephen founded the church as the Church of Mary in 1015 AD, and this original […]
Barcelona: Park Güell
Gaudi’s Park Güell – Barcelona While in Barcelona, we tried to visit a couple different Gaudi landmarks, and were hoping to walk around Park Güell and take some photos. Unfortunately, we made a critical mistake – not buying tickets in advance. We were able to walk around the outside of the park, and a small open area, […]
Budapest: Guarding the Entrance
None shall pass I’ve been home about a week from my last business trip, and I am still going through thousands of photos I took on my downtime in Barcelona and Budapest. This is one from Budapest, as you enter the courtyard to the Budapest History Museum. I visited the museum on my last trip, but […]
Droning on about Drones
To Drone or not to drone … Well, that question I’ve answered. I am looking at getting a drone to muck around with here in the backwoods I live in, as well as when I travel (where permitted). I’ve been digging around online and have narrowed it down to two options, the Phantom 3 Professional from […]
