Todays #fotofriday #fotofriday is from our trip to England 🏴 last May. As a child I used to ride my bicycle 🚴 from our home then Carterton, Oxon near RAF Brize Norton where dad worked in Air ✈️ Traffic, to the Uffington White Horse 🐎 hill. The rolling green hills are so beautiful. The horse can only just be seen at the top edge of this photo. I hope everyone enjoys this extended weekend on both sides of the pond 😎
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my aerial photography. So for this weeks #fotografia #fotofriday we have a glorious red #sunset looking west from i35 with matching red logo of the Olathe Toyota Motor Corporation #automotive dealership in the foreground. Again the is an AEB photo from my DJI Mavic Air 2. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend 😎
Thank you Leanne, Yassy & Claudia for liking my photo. I’m grateful for your attention and encouragement. I hope you find some relaxation time at the weekend 🙂
“The City of Overland Park traces its roots back to 1905 with the arrival of its founder William B. Strang Jr., who platted subdivisions along a military roadway. Strang envisioned a “park-like” community that was self-sustaining and well planned. He also sought strong commerce, quality education, vibrant neighborhoods, convenient transportation and accommodating recreational facilities. Strang named one of his subdivisions “Overland Park.” says the Downtown Overland Park Partnership
#Fotofriday #fotografia this week is of the Strang Building in downtown Overland Park. This shot again in AEB with my Mavic Air 2

I took this photo with my DJI Mavic Air 2 drone on our way home after church one warm Sunday afternoon.
As with all the drone photos I take, I use 3 shot auto exposure bracketing (AEB) which is how some high dynamic range (HDR) photos are produced.
HDR photos seem to show better contrast a little more like how the human eye sees.
I only started to take drone photography seriously last April 1st when I passed the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) unmanned aerial vehicle system (UAVS) pilot license.
I could have, as many do, fly my drone without being licensed, but to become a professional at any craft being safe is first and foremost, as is learning to fly and learning to adapt my existing photography skills to an aerial camera system.
So far, I have a few hundred HDR drone photos in my collection that I will in due course share on this blog.
Below is a short summary in video form of what led me to fly drones. In short, I was inspired by my father, Neville, a veteran air traffic controller (ATC) who served in the British Royal Air Force (RAF).
