Aerial Photograph Western Mass. from the Air

I had to join droneflyers after I saw thumbnails of these pictures. Those "mountains" in the background look very familiar.

 

Very very far to the right off that lower picture. Those mountains are very distinctive and picturesque. I used to work in the Northampton, Holyoke, and Springfield areas.

 

Nice to see that you got airborne today. It was pretty windy at my place today (18+ mph winds at 6') in a sheltered location. You were not that far away and you got some pretty decent pictures of what's left of Autumn colors. I see a little jello effect not like your pre crash/gear strip pictures you have taken. I am pretty amazed at 3 vs 6 gyroscopic/accelerometer corrected flight as evidenced by your pictures. Please do not take this as criticism of your pictures- you've seen my stuff (There is no comparison,).

 

I have to retire, then move back to MA.............this desert I live in is just a bunch of dirt and scrub brush

 

I used to work nearby where this picture was taken, at the former Northampton State Hospital. Some people say that I worked there a little too long.

 

I knew that I knew the location, but the perspective from height confused me more than my usual state of confusion. Nice pictures. It's pretty amazing how much everything has changed since the Hospital's closure.

 

This location I do recognize. After watching all your videos I realize that I need a different quadcopter than my Syma X1's. They are a blast to fly, but a 6 axis quadcopter is definitely a better flight platform for keychain video cam photography; especially a bigger quadcopter. I finally got motivated enough to try to build my own (6 axis flight control board) quadcopter and ordered the parts for what I think that I need to build what will hopefully be cheaper and of better quality than the current RTF's and ARF's currently available. We'll see how this works out.
