Sunrise over Secret Beach

 

 

I'm starting to really like this drone flying! This is the sunrise from the south side of Maui looking back towards the sun. The HDR feature on the drone seems to work really well. This is technically a 360 degree shot, just folded out from one end to the other.

 

There are limits though because there are places they won't let you fly them, like in national parks. Not without jumping through a lot of hoops to do so anyway. Something I'm not willing to do right now.

 

This bottom photo is of my partner as she looks at over the top of Haleakala Summit. It was taken with a real camera! You can see the trail that takes you down into the volcano on the side of the "hill" she is standing on. They finally opened the national park for hiking so we've been trying to hike every trail there is. Hiking at 10,000 feet is exhausting!! The elevation change on this particular trail is around 1500 feet down and of course back up.

I took these at the far south end of the island over an area where the last lava flow happened here. I didn't hike in as far as I wanted but I plan on going back next week and getting all the way to the far south end.

These were taken just south of La Perouse Bay.

 This is definitely a learning process but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I do get very nervous when flying the drone though, I'm not use to not having the camera in my hand and I have been afraid of crashing it.

Learning to photograph with a new toy. I bought a drone last month and I'm finally learning how to fly it properly.

 

I haven't crashed it,

 

yet!
