Interesting Views

Twice today I was afforded interesting imaging opportunities I took advantage of. The first was quick and easy. The second was also quick, but took more preparation.

Image 1 - My day began early for an EMS run under moody conditions. After returning home and while eating breakfast, I noticed the sun was slowly burning through the fog to usher in a beautiful day in late January. As I watched the sunrise, I thought it might be interesting to frame with our Norway spruce trees as it broke through the fog. With selective framing and cropping I was able to create an image that conveys a simple message… “Morning Has Broken.”

Image 2, 3, 4, 5 - These images took only a few minutes of actual time to record, but more time in the preparatory phase. Knowing I would be at the State House today to meet with lawmakers, last night I applied for and received an LAANC request from the FAA to fly a drone near the capitol. When our hours of meetings were completed, I then met with the Capitol Security team and the State Patrol Troopers assigned to security at the statehouse. I explained my request and showed each my LAANC and was granted permission to photograph the capitol.

Following are a few views we had via a drone.
