Hey Joshua, what a wonderful image. Superb timing and planning. Must have been during an eclipse, no? Would love to read more of the story behind the shot. Also, although unrelated, would really like to see a blog post discussing your drone experience. I’m just now doing the same thing and it would be great to hear your perspective on drones and the initial motivation and learning.
Cheers, John Dodson
Hey John,
Thanks very much! Yes, this was during last year’s annular solar eclipse. One of these days I’ll complete a full write up for my website, but in the meantime I do have a webinar on the planning and execution of the photo. You can watch that here:
Regarding drones, my thoughts can be summed up pretty succinctly: I find other people’s drones incredibly annoying, but I love my drone like a child. 🙂 Being serious, I think drones are a fantastic tool for shooting stills and video, and if you are interested in getting one I HIGHLY recommend it. Such a cool way to see the world. But they need to be used in a responsible way that doesn’t effect other people or animals where you are flying.
Cheers,
Josh
