Correction, this is Waimea Canyon on Kauai. Took this about 8 years ago so the trip details can get fuzzy

The mountainous sides of Maui. Took this during a helicopter tour, was a breathtaking experience.

One of the most unique birds I saw at GalΓ‘pagos, I love the texture of the feathers on the Blue Footed Booby. They’re surprisingly unfazed by people. I had one walk between my legs while we were on a hike!

Another from my trip to the GalΓ‘pagos Islands. This albatross was perfectly lit by the setting sun.

The tortoises are are closely tracked by the wildlife preserve we went to, and the tour guide told us the age of the various ones we saw

Unlike the old GalΓ‘pagos tortious I shared previously, this one was much more enthusiastic. He even smiled for the camera! #photography #wildlife #turtles

An old Galapagos tortoise looks into the camera. Its scales are crusted and broken in areas, with weathering all over its face.

One of the most impressive animals I saw on my trip to the GalΓ‘pagos Islands was the Galapagos Tortoise. They’re far larger than anything I expected. This one was well over a 100 years old. #photography #wildlife #turtles

I was looking at the Neo too but decided I wanted more range so I went with the Air. They’re all very capable drones though!

It’s the DJI Air 3. I got a refurbished one with additional batteries for about $1100.

Thanks. The video here doesn’t do it justice, especially with the compression.

I set waypoints and let the drone do the rest on its own. Very easy with most modern day drone systems

First ever video taken with my new drone! This was at Kaaterskill Falls in NY. It was cooold out that day, but I’d say it was worth it. #winter #waterfall #videography #drones

Merry Christmas! Scary day yesterday, went skiing at Hunter Mountain and my friend took a hard fall. Couldn’t remember how she got there, forgot the last month, and couldn’t remember anything longer than 2 minutes. Went to the ER and she’s recovering, but PLEASE wear a helmet if you ski! #skiing

A Blue Iguana from the Cayman Islands. They let you get surprisingly close to them!

Throwback to a neat starfish I saw by the shore during a trip to the Cayman Islands.

Thank you for the correction! Now that I check, you’re right, it’s a Navajo Tribal Park, not a national park

A barren red rocky ground runs up to several rock pillar formations illuminated at the top by the rising sun. Lit up clouds run behind the pillars and a full moon hangs overhead.

Going wayyy back in the archives on this one, took this photo of a
sunrise at Monument Valley National Park when I was 11.

This yellow crowned night heron is a pretty good embodiment of how I feel on Monday mornings. Taken at the GalΓ‘pagos Islands.
