London Photo Walk and Workshop!

I can’t wait to see you all for the very special Photo Walk (free) and day-long workshop (paid) coming up in London. This is gonna be a great one… this time, for the photo walk, we have a mobile speaker system and more so everyone can hear! 🙂

Daily Photo – Is this area dangerous?

It occurred to me after walking around this part of London around midnight that it might not have been so safe! I had just gone to see a Very Unusual Stage Play, and then I decided to go out for a photo wander. I wandered all over the place after I had the Uber drop me off by the Tower of London. I criss-crossed the Thames a few times then finally ended up here… I really liked all the pathways above that seemed to go in every direction.

7 Dials in London

See you in London soon!

Don’t forget to A) Sign up for the London Photo Walk (Free) and B) Sign up for the special day-long workshop (not free but more than worth it!).

Warming up the Quad

If you’re a Passport member, you can see a 360 story of me testing out the Phantom 4 Pro + on a cold New Zealand morning here… making sure it’s ready for the big Europe Trip!

Passport Exclusive – A Phantom 4 Pro Vlog in 360

Here’s a 360 video of me heading out with the quadcopter to test it out!

And the second video below is a short edited video that shows a bit of the footage. Like I say in the video, none of it is great but thought you’d like to see anyway! Most of life is Just Showing Up, right? Well I showed up this morning to take that video, and not much interesting turned up… just thought you might like to see how many days are banal! But that’s okay, the real reason was to test out the new firmware.

Daily Photo – 7 Dials in London

Speaking of quadcopters, here’s one of my favorite photos from London at this famous street where seven roads come together. I flew this one with my friend Stu. I was using the HUGE Inspire drone… it’s really much too massive and ungainly! After I got it set up, I had to go through this very time-consuming IMU calibration… thought it would never end… but I finally got it up in the air to take this photo!

London Photo Walk!

London Photo Walk 5.0

This will be the best! This time, we have a speaker system, a better route, prizes, an after-party. All kinds of stuff! The Photo Walk is still free as always, and a family friendly event. Check out our Tour Page for more info and also RSVP in the Facebook Event.

Last time was great, but there were tooooo many people there and not everyone could hear me. I felt awful about that, so this time with our little mobile speaker system, you’ll be able to hear all my tips/tricks/thoughts – and I’ll be doing live Q&A too.

Daily Photo – London Photo Walk!

Here’s a shot from the previous London Photo Walk. I can’t wait to see all my London friends again… do whatever you can to come out because we have some MASSIVE prizes… and all kinds of goodies!

London, Remastered

Singapore Remix

I was looking through some older photos and I am often amazed at how strange some places are… take this indoor waterfall in Singapore for example!

Amazing Indoor Waterfalls

Daily Photo – London, Remastered

I very rarely “re-do” photos, but I was working on the new Aurora HDR 2017 and I wanted to compare and contrast the differences between it and its predecessor. When I first edited this photo with the first version, I was very happy with it. But then the 2nd time through, I was able to use a lot of the unique features from 2017 here to make it pop even more and make the “mood” more like I wanted.

The Shard in London

Air Travel in the 1970’s

Check out this article about how spacious and stylish things were in the 70’s!

Thinking of Scotland

Sorry again I had to call off that Scotland Photo Walk! I got called back for an emergency situation. I was in Scotland for about 30 minutes though! I stepped outside to smell the Scottish air. It was nice and fresh with a tinge of whisky! I’ll be back some day… count on it! 🙂

Daily Photo – The Shard in London

I feel so out-of-touch sometimes! I had not been to London for about 4 or 5 years, and then when I got there I saw this huge building! I had never heard of it being built and I didn’t even know the name. I asked my British friend, “What the hell is THAT!?!” and he said, “It’s The Shard you moron.” Haha man… it was such a surprise, and every time I see it, I still feel that sense of surprise. I really love taking photos of it too… reminds me of the surprise of the first time I saw it.

London in the Last Light

The Phantom 5

Don’t forget to check out the amazing Phantom 5 speaker. It’s really just off-the-wall awesom

Daily Photo – London in the Last Light

Here’s a photo I took from atop The Shard one night. I noticed that they shut down one side of the bar/restaurant just for the restaurant. And that’s the side where’ sunset is! So I had to do a bit of fancy-British-talkin’ to get myself over there in a position to take this photo!

The Tower of London in the Night

Colored Lights at night

I’d like to send a shout out to all the lighting designers around the world, and especially those in London, for making such colorful lights that make the sights so much cooler

Daily Photo – The Tower of London in the Night

Wow this place is empty at night. During the day, it’s an absolute zoo. At night, things are quite quiet… the sort of quiet you get right before a zombie outbreak. I’d love to actually spend the night there inside the Tower of London somewhere… wander around inside all night and take photos and more…

London in the Rain, Stumbling Around at Night

Plugin for Rain Effects

I wish there was a plugin to simulate a wet ground. That seems like serious cheating in a way… and I have no idea how they would make one, but it could be awesome

Daily Photo – London in the Rain, Stumbling Around at Night

I think London at night is one of the most amazing experiences ever… especially when there’s a bit of rain to make all the lights come even more alive. I visited this area late one night after going to see a very strange (but good) theater show. It put me into quite an unusual mood, which set a good brain space for this kind of wandering!

A Room With a View

What else happened this day?

Here’s a little video of what happened in London before I took this photo!

Daily Photo – A Room With a View

Here’s my friend Stu atop The Shard in London inside one of the most awesome bathrooms I’ve ever seen! Yes, you might think it was awkward for me to take this photo while in the bathroom… I suppose it was a little bit, but not NEARLY as awkward as it was for all the guys behind me waiting while I had Stu strike a few poses…
