A few more from yesterday’s unreasonably cold morning on the frosty South Downs.

My fingers were incredibly painful from the cold, so bought heated gloves with finger-caps. Touchscreen gloves just don’t work on the drone controller 🤷‍♂️

Of course the weather immediately warms back up 🙃

Up at Devil’s Dyke for first light to catch the early morning glow on thick frost.

A frosty morning across The Weald. Lots of frozen cow pats 🐄

Didn’t stay long, too cold. Doesn’t bode well for my Iceland photography trip (not that I have one planned, maybe one day eh).

Anyone know about lighting for video? Specifically talking head + top down multi cam for YT. Wondering if this is good enough for now

I have Godox: ML100R, ES45, TL30, Smallrig RM120

I’m limited in space, oh and please ignore the Tshirt, these are my pyjamas 😂

A bank of fog rolling up the hill at Waterhall, with the sunrise shining through it. Windmill peeking through it on the left.

Up early to see the sunrise over a foggy Waterhall and Green Ridge Windmill, just north of Brighton.

Clouds clearing after heavy rain revealed a stunning view from Stanmer Woods and across The Weald.

Stanmer Park in the foreground, The Amex and Falmer in the midground, with Firle Beacon in the distance. Love the patches of sunlight on the fields.

Panorama of Brighton and Hove seafront this morning. Beautiful day!

This ended up being 100 megapixel, might print this one..

Can’t get bored of sunrises and sunsets. Well, I can’t. You probably can.

Any #photography people have backpack recommendations for:
- Mirrorless body (Fuji X-T5)
- 2x zooms (16-55 / 70-300)
- DJI Air 3s + batteries + controller
- Several other random bits
- Side access
- Well protected
Just about fits in my Peak Design Everyday 21, but the protection is lacking..

Thought I’d get a photo from last week printed, Giclée on Hahnemühle Photo Rag. The colours are incredible!

Blazing skies last night.

If they keep making amazing sunsets I’m going to keep taking photos of them.

Made using Free Pano on the Air 3s on the 70mm telephoto shooting RAW and AEB 5, then in Lightroom Classic, stacked and merged to HDR, then merged to panorama.

Couple of drone shots from my new Air 3s. Very impressive bit of kit, excellent cameras on it and decently fast.

More of the Barbican. Feel like I should be listening to The Streets or Burial..

Another trip to my favourite place in London; The Barbican. This time for a guided tour. Such a fascinating place!

I can’t ever post about work as it’s all NDA’d. And the world is so bleak right now I can’t bring myself to post about that either.

So I guess it’s just photos now 🤷‍♂️

Of course they did: blog.nataliethenerd.com/i-turned-the...

When I was building mine last night, the thought did flutter through my mind that this could fit a pi zero and a display to emulate, but @nataliethenerd.com went down the good path with a custom PCB. So cool.
