A couple of days ago I took my parents to Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. My parents are now in their 70's and aren't as mobile as they used to be so I thought I'd treat them to a day out as they've been mentioning a recently about how the church at the top of the 199 steps has Christmas trees in there this time of year.
I decided not to take my camera as I thought the weather would be rubbish, how wrong was I?
I did put the drone in the car, just in case I could get a flight, in which I did succeed, but the best of the day was still to come.
I took the drone up while my sister and parents went into the Church to look at the trees, I did get some good shots, however the wind was getting up a bit and the light wasn't the best for photography, but it's not everyday I get to the coast and fly the drone, especially with the weather this time of year.
I didn't take too many shots as mentioned earlier that the wind was getting up a bit, when I checked my app the windspeed was fine, but at one point I was flying to my location and the drone wouldn't go forward, so I thought I'd bring the drone in and call it a day.
We went for some food and as it got dark, another fantastic sunset, I'm thinking in the back of my mind that I should have brought the camera, we drove back up to the abbey as I wanted to get some shots of the 199 steps looking down towards the town, but I had to use my phone as other than my drone this was the only camera I had on me.
I have to say though that I am more than happy with the shot, I did shoot everything in manual mode, and a few tweaks in lightroom, and got a fairly decent shot.
I know that with my camera the shot would be even better, but I can't complain at all with this shot.
I love the colours, the sky and the reflections on here.
Anyhow, I really hope you like this post, and I'd just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
Shot using a DJI Mini 4 Pro and a Samsung S21 phone.
All the best :-)
