If you fly the drone in a straight line fast then stop short, for a quick second it points up. Quick finger on the camera trigger and you can get a shot as if you are looking up, but with a 400-foot advantage. Nothing I would do on a regular basis though.

I still have not really processed my trip to Iceland in a couple of different ways. One, the photos. I am about halfway through. And two, mentally, when I left this virus was something very far away, while I was on the trip everything changed, and the day I can home, the world seemed to stop. I was not far off from being delayed there for a bit like actual minutes could have prevented me from making a flight, which would have meant I would be there when borders closed, and logistics became difficult. So since I have been back, it has been one thing after another, I missed out on that “after vacation glow.”
This is a shot taken with my drone, maybe 10 feet above the water looking back at the lighthouse I am standing next to. A beautiful spot on the western shore of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. I miss it there, that spot, it was pure peace. We were on a road that no one in a regular car could get to. We had to hike a bit ourselves to get there, but once there, we were it. No one around, just these vast waves pushing into the rugged walls if Iceland, while a Snæfellsjökull, a 700,000-year-old glacier-capped stratovolcano stood in the clouds behind us.

The timestamp of the photo says it all. This is Rte 495 facing North between exits 18 and 19, the main artery in my part of the state. Below I have downtown Milford, standing in the middle of Main St. while the light is green at 8am. Above Medway at 9am. Traffic is light. Everywhere.

Iceland is special. Travel is special. The world is small. I’ve been a few places, I am lucky. This was my return to Iceland – my personal favorite place to visit . 9 days on the island, toured the South and West. I joined a tour with Artic Exposure, they arrange an incredible experience. I stayed in areas this time, exploring sites a few times, getting to see them in different light and weather. I chose this tour because it was winter. Glaciers, Northern Lights, Snow, the sun went down, the colors were gorgeous.
Being out of the country with all that is going on was strange. The virus was a conversation daily. There were strange moments like empty airports or seeing so many people in masks. I love to travel, I plan on returning to Iceland again, I hope. to take a photography tour with me in the future. As for a show of the photos, I have not decided yet. I have been asked a few times, I will consider it. I have not gone through them all yet. They may pop up now and then in the dailypic as I process.
The one above is from the drone, it was shot over water on the South Shore in Reynisfjara. We were chasing light for the sunset. We got stuck in the snow. I sent the drone out to catch this reflection as a. storm was coming in. The clouds are creeping from the left, in a matter of minutes the color would be gone and snow would be falling at a good rate. The drone did not beat the snow back, but the shot was. worth it.
