Calm Before The Storm

52Frames - Week 24 - Blue Hour

With severe storms in the forecast, had to get this one in before they hit.  Another selective color photo so I could legitimately keep my personal b/w challenge streak alive.

Long Time; No Fly

I had not flown my drone for quite awhile.  Decided to bring it along on a Colorado trip to get reacquainted.  Lots of areas where flying is not permitted, but fortunately, many areas where it is, including non-wilderness areas in the National Forests.   Thus far, location hasn't been an issue; rather wind gust velocity has.

These photographs from the drone were captured over two days within windows of permissible conditions.

Hidden Sunrise

A few photos from a sunrise photo walk at Waukegan Harbor & Marina and the Waukegan Municipal Beach in Waukegan, IL on 6/2/24.  Weather predicted was intermittent clouds at 5:17am sunrise; what we experienced was complete cloud cover until after 8am.  Nonetheless, it was a successful morning of photography.
