Was my drone shot legal?

Drones have seen some bad press. A lot of it warranted in fairness, as drones have become incredibly easily accessible to stupid people! I always follow the rules and regulations regarding the safe operation of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). It is obviously frustrating when people oblivious or ignorant of the rules go and take the shot that I wanted but couldn’t take because it would not have been safe or legal, but they are the rules and they are there to keep us all safe. It is still possible to get great results by thinking outside the box.

Cruise Ships in Weymouth Bay

I chartered a boat from Weymouth Harbour. The weather forecast was perfect. CruiseMapper said there were loads of ships in the bay. I loaded up the car with Peli cases full of camera stuff and headed down south with a mission of capturing some of the cruise ships anchored in Weymouth Bay. The bay has become a resting spot for cruise ships during the coronavirus lockdown and there can be up to 10 ships anchored close to the coast at once.

I shot my dog!

I found a bunch of random photos of my dog during a badly needed clearout of my Lightroom catalogue and I’m putting them here for no reason other than that they are too cute not to share! Let’s face it, who doesn’t enjoy a dog picture? Take it away Amber!

Co. Wicklow. The Garden of Ireland. My home county.

I was very lucky to spend a few months back home last year and have put together 100 photos into a collection I call “Wicklow by Air“. The full collection is a big gallery of images ordered by when I took them. Below is a little summary broken down by location.
