You've got the drone positioned perfectly. The sky and your lookout are right there, together.

Beautiful shot!

This was the pre-dawn morning .. Labor Day .. that I fell in the rocks and busted myself up. I had a bandana stuffed in my mouth to staunch the bleeding from a severely lacerated upper lip. But the show must go on! I shot for about 45 minutes after the fall, getting some good stuff with the cameras and the drone. Then I drove myself out of the wilderness and 92 miles to the ER in a little Idaho town towards Coeur d'Alene. Took 8 stiches in the lip, some other wound care, and then drove the 92 miles back out to the lookout.

I'm glad you were able to do all of that; a lesser person would have given up on the spot.

Please take care!
