I’m all packed up for a trip to Iceland! My wife said I could bring one drone, but I’m sneaking a second one on the trip. I have a Phantom 2 w/Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and Gopro Hero 3+ Black w/Ragecams 5.4mm lens mod in a Go Professional rolling hard case, and a Phantom 2 w/Ricoh ...

While at Stanford University for a concert yesterday, I sent a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ up for some still shots. Shot in Adobe DNG raw and processed in Lightroom.

I love using large sensors in the air. I drove to Palomar Observatory today and sent the Phantom 2 Ricoh GR up for a few pictures (nowhere near the structures). Last year, I read Richard Preston’s First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe, which made visiting the observatory all the more special. The modified Phantom ...

Here are a few sample raw Adobe DNG still pictures from the new Phantom 2 Vision+, for your evaluation. The download is good for 14 days. Photos were taken from right above the Wynn’s swimming pool, insured and with permission, during a media event.

Located in Horseshoe Bay (Nusa Kode) just off of Rinca Island in Komodo National Park, this dive site is called Cannibal Rock. It is one of the best dives ...

Pura Tanah Lot is another one of the seven sea temples in Bali, Indonesia, and is located in Tabanan. Although the area around Tanah Lot is extremely touristy, only Balinese people can go into the temple itself. We arrived early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, Ricoh GR ...

Pura Luhur Uluwatu is a spectacular Balinese sea temple in Bali, Indonesia. The temple sits on a sheer cliff, and guards Bali from evil spirits from the south-west. There is no way to see this temple from the “front” except by aerial vehicle. Shot with DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, Ricoh GR APS-C camera, and Boscam FPV ...

I spent the last 2 weeks diving the southern part of Komodo, Indonesia, leading an underwater photography expedition for Wetpixel. We spent quite a bit of time in Horseshoe Bay photographing marine life at famous dive sites like Cannibal Rock, but whenever the wind died down, I flew my modified DJI Phantom 2 and took ...
