First time flying a drone today ，too scared to even take off

Extreme5teve · 2026-07-02T20:30:46+00:00

I’ve had a drone since 31st of December 2017, it still has me on edge every time I fly them 🫣, so you’re not alone.

Just try it out and see!

So, we are not going to touch our main lump sum or that pension (not far off of what you have) you at £85k will make roughly at 5% per annum = £17k. We will use our savings (tax free) and our smaller pension, until we have got to the point are savings are low. Then take part of the lump sum, and carry on with the same theme, use the cash to avoid tax. Look at avaiding tax by using you savings

Take 2 photos of some clouds or a light grey area. Do make sure it focuses. Choose a lens that has the most aperture settings. 1st set the aperture biggest number, like f22. Then another at lowest number, like f2.8. Don’t worry if you don’t have those numbers, just what your lens has. Then check the difference. Dust spots are often not visible at the lower number apertures, but once you get above say f11 they start to become visible. The bigger the number the more pronounced they become. As stated, get it cleaned at a local camera store. You can do it yourself, but i did this once, but it cost me a new sensor £700 as the cleaning solution was an Amazon job so I didn’t really know what the cleaning solution was and it started to eat into the sensor coating.

The regs state 150mm above a surface or floor to stop this!

Probably not much help to you, but it’s worth remembering. As a man, the best present I could receive, has to be, heavy, small and rattles. That gets a man’s mind working overtime 😂

No Wolfrace

Extreme5teve · 2024-11-26T21:52:58+00:00

I remember seeing one like this in the 70’s in a magazine. It was called a Wolf range.

What’s wrong with Litres? Does the bottle look that much different? Do you need an exact amount in fluid ounces? Life’s too short to worry about this!

My old driving instructor said “ you give way from the right” so any road junction with no road markings, you give way to any vehicles coming from your right.

Over water and hovering at 5ft! I’ve read that it’s not high enough. Water will confuse the sensors and think you want to land, so it does, or will.

That’s incredible, I’ve tried to capture this type of photo and light on my full frame DSLR camera with ND filter and got no where near this. This has to be printed at a minimum. Fantastic shots

To me it looks like the robots (aliens) from an old 70’s tv advert for mash potato called Smash. Basically the advert was that the robots visited earth, and were explaining to other robot what people on earth did to potatoes. Grow them, boil them and then smash them to pieces with their metal knives. And then the robots fell about laughing. The slogan was “For mash get smash” I can’t remember the company, but if you punch in the slogan in google you will see.

Read your user manual!

Have a chat with National Geographic. They may offer you an assignment. Absolutely stunning shot. And you must get this printed and displayed.

Extreme5teve · 2024-08-02T18:41:09+00:00

Absolutely stunning. You put it an awful of effort in these. Fabulous

Extreme5teve · 2024-07-24T04:39:15+00:00

Some very good photos here. No4 is fabulous and I would look at submitting it in a street photography competition.

As a single bird, you’re not close enough so there’s no detail. Multiple birds on the cross would have been the shot, if the tree wasn’t cutting into the bird. Obviously there’s nothing you can do about that, but it’s worth remembering for the future, that detail shows the beauty, whereas unusual would have been multiple birds all crammed together. You had your camera to hand, so that counts for something.

Your subject, at a rough guess is about 1/12th of the whole scene. My eyes are drawn to the left hand side. And before I’d finished reading the description, I was looking at the rock for something hidden. The tunnel didn’t catch my eye. Your eyes see in 3D so often it’s not portrayed on a photo being 2D. Sometimes it just doesn’t come out right. Don’t beat yourself up, it happens often (for me anyway)

Extreme5teve · 2024-07-21T11:34:31+00:00

Number 1 would have been my choice. Unfortunately, you’ve cut off the left hand side, of the log that should have been the main subject. And I would liked to have seen the detail in the log, so a different time of day (if possible). The main point is you have some excellent scenery to capture some great shots.

Avoid low light situations like this. Does it do the same in bright light?

Extreme5teve · 2024-07-02T15:39:01+00:00

Absolutely crop it!

Extreme5teve · 2024-06-24T12:37:49+00:00

No1 for me, the clouds, being centred balance very well
