Winter Beauty (or “Winter Drones On”)
A few cold-weather drone videos show the beauty of winter in Wisconsin. Shot with a DJI Avata and a DJI Mini 2 and edited with Cyberlink Power Director 360. Still learning and having fun. Ski Trails near Lakewood Bay of Green Bay Wequiock Falls near Green Bay
Learning to Fly
After flying a cinematic-type drone for about a year, there’s a new addition to my “fleet”– a DJI Avata drone, which takes me into the world of First Person View (FPV) flying. The video below is my first attempt at combining two passions — kayaking and FPV drone flying. Let […]

Clean-up and Fun on the Wolf River

Views of a Lighthouse

Kayak surfing at Sheboygan on a blustery November afternoon
The wave forecast looked promising and the webcam confirmed it, so John and I answered the call for some Lake Michigan kayak surfing. Air temperature was 37F and water was only slightly warmer but the waves were big and well-spaced so we had to go. With a surprise appearance by […]
