Gooseberry Storm

A thunderstorm passes over Gooseberry Mesa in Southern Utah.. By the way, that’s Zion National Park in the background.

Watch in HiDef at Full Screen. Music is La Femme d’argent (Woman Of Silver) by the French band, Air.

My Very First Drone Flight

I beat the Wright Brother’s first flight by 6 seconds in duration and was able to film the landscape below. Gooseberry Mesa near Zion National Park never looked better.

The camera on the drone takes amazing photos at 48mp and 4K video. The DJI Mini 3 Pro was highly recommended and is fairly easy to use. It’s also very quiet and I plan to use it mostly in remote areas.

Gooseberry Sunset

For sunset images, don’t always shoot towards the sun. But look to the opposite direction to see how the light varies. You’ll see the light change from white to yellow, from yellow to orange and then orange to red just before the sun sets.

Some Local R & R

Camped just outside of Zion NP this week and relaxed, read my book about Zen by Suzuki, did lots of mountain biking(This area has some of the best mountain biking in the country) and tried out my new camera! These images came out really sharp!
