A beautiful day off

[Kilby]

I had the day off and the weather was perfect for some AP. Shot in the Liberty Water Reservoir and Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

Beautiful. Are they all Gopro shots?
A few don't look that fisheyed.

Thanks, Iris. Yeah, all GoPro shots. I've cropped some to remove a bit of the distortion towards the outer edges. Others simply play into the effect of that lens better. I'm looking forward to trying the GoPro 2 out soon. I think the higher resolution will help me out.

Nice shots the Kilby.. I am looking forward to some reports on the GoPro2.. CAnt afford one right now because of my WooKong addiction but I have been a good boy this years so who knows Santa my drop one down my chimney!

I'm counting on Santa myself, Dave. I'm sure he will come through.

Our company Christmas party was today, so I cut out on the beer in the conference room in favor of heading downtown and getting a few shots. The weather was perfect so I couldn't pass up the chance. These will probably be the last shots I take with the GoPro before switching over to the new one. These are both shots I got before, but going back and doing them again I could see how much better this flys with the DJI on board. What I had to struggle to get before I can do with ease now... and better.

Are these actual snapshots or video that you captured the shots from. What resolution?

Those are all still shots coming from a GoPro hd 1. 5mp resolution.

Looks great how many shots per second did you have it set for

To date i've adopted the spray and prey method... a shot every 2 seconds. I think I'm going to be turning that down a little bit though since I can frame the shot with my downlink now. I keep 2 cameras on board, one FPV cam with an OSD and one GoPro. I have a feed switch so I can fly into position via LOS or the FPV feed, and then switch over to view the GoPro to frame the shot with the downlink once I'm into position. It's working pretty well so far. I've got a bunch of shots planned for the holiday break, so we will see how well this method stands up in the real world.

Found some time today and yesterday to play with the new Go Pro HD Hero 2. I like the 8mp 127degree FOV still setting the best. I thought I could do this FOV with the max 11mp, but it turns out you can't. Not that big of a deal, but I was looking forward to 11mp and ended up getting 8 in reality. The shots work though, so I'm happy.

How many shots were you shooting per second. They look really good. So do you like the Hero 2 over the Hero?
