Ploughing for barley

Red Mist

I expected pink if not red mist as patches of freezing fog wafted over the moors late afternoon - didn't quite come off though.

Took some video too but it was best described as Meh.

Light too low and very grainy.

Ran it through neat image and seems OK after all.

Village from t'other side

Surprising really but I never went behind before, in part because it feels 'wrong' to look at the private backyards.
You get a great view of the setting though, and the snow hides minor messiness!
It's out 1500 feet from where I set off from too, so all but out of sight - but control could go further with decent height.

February snow

It's been kind of snowy for a few days but windy and soggy with it until today - so popped the Vision Plus up for a few minutes.
Set the exposure at -0.7 which looks about right, but did add a lightroom grad on the sky.
I think -1.0 could be slightly better in this brilliant type of scene.

Post Christmas snow

Annoying jitter in this a couple of times - I suspect wind related as it was quite gusty not far above ground.


From this still, there is suddenly a striking roughly circular feature on The Common - which would seem to be an ancient enclosure of some kind.
Previous similar photos don't obviously reveal it.
Our local History specialist has forwarded it to the Medieval Studies centre at York.

Douthwaitedale - Vision Plus

I did a remix of that, mainly playing about with neat video noise reduction - probably gone too far with it but some parts are definitely better.
One problem with it is you can't seem to get a decent preview of how the effect will turn out - so I just set it on defaults.
To see it properly you have to render the sequence. Even on my 16GB desktop that takes about an hour for this 3 minute clip.

Westerdale - late November

I needed to half use the Phantom battery as they are supposed to be kept at about 50% if unused for a few days.

It cleared out at sunset today and wind was not too bad - quite surprised by the detail in this from a quick flight - but video was noisy and nothing special.
