The other day the sky looked promising for a decent sunset. It seems the best conditions are high thin clouds. If they are too thick they kind of smother the sun and you get no color. And the thing is the colors don’t last so you have to be ready to go or the opportunity is gone. So I was home, my drone batteries were charged up so I launched it from the back yard.
If you are lucky, and I was that day, you get opposite sunsets which is where you get colors in any direction. So this is looking north.
And this is looking south.
And this was the west, the day before.
And this is looking down. You can see my orange landing pad. I do think that is my new roof. We color matched it to the old roof so there it looks the same. I do only periscope flights. I go straight up from the backyard and look around and then come back down. I don’t fly the drone over other people’s property or anywhere where I can’t just legally walk over and pick it up if something goes wrong. That’s just me though.
I’m linking with Skywatch Friday
This is the greatest to/hobby!
Lovely shade of orange.
Alan – it has been quite a while since I made the rounds of blogs – glad to be back, especially for one of your drone flights! I hadn’t thought of using my drone for sunset photos – I will have to make plans for that! All my best from Montana, friend!
Wow, these sunset shots are amazing! Love how you caught the colors from all angles. Your drone flying style is super smart—safety first! That orange landing pad is a cool touch too.
..the first one is perfect for Halloween.
Haha … you are a responsible drone owner. Looks like the magnificence of autumn sunsets are captured very beautifully from way up in air. 🙂
great view in all directions
Beautiful colors.
Magical golden sky.
That looks like a teeny tiny landing pad!! Fun to see the sky from a drones perspective.
Lovely captures!
Me enamore de la primera foto. Te mando un beso.
Lovely skies. The first one is spectacular.
Yes, that’s true. The colors don’t last long so we better be on our toes all the time when sunset watching. That one is spectacular.
Surely great capture.. I too feel like owning a drone but they are out of reach in terms of my budget
Stunning photos. Wanna have a drone!
greetings from Germany
Good for you for being a considerate drone user. Once I was up very early out on the patio and there was a drone not too far away hovering too close for comfort. I suppose the person flying it was trying to do so before most people were outside and about. Your sky photos are spectacular this week. Thanks for sharing.
Hello,
Beautiful skies, the colors are stunning! Take care, have a great weekend!
Amazing skies, Great clicks.
Happy Weekend.
That first shot was tailor made for fall and Halloween. So orange! You got some nice reverse sunset pictures, too.
Awesome sun set photos ~ hugs to Kodi ~
