This breathtaking sunrise was revealed in front of my eyes on June 14, 2016. When I made myself get up around 5:30am I was not sure if I could keep my eyes open and the possibility of going right back to sleep was quite strong. Then I looked out through the bathroom window in our house on Chesapeake Bay. What I saw pumped enough adrenaline into my veins to forget about sleep. The sky was already...

When to fly drones: choose the best lighting for your location!

https://youtu.be/TT30Xe-UInA The opening shots in this video were taken on a different day than the monologue recording (just in case this isn't obvious from the film!). If I count correctly this crazy cloud cover has been hanging over Easter US for about a full week now. It's not that you can't fly and get something interesting... my goal is to get the spectacular and stunning. In the meantime...

We drove by St Mary Anne's Episcopal church on Main Street so many times and almost every time we did I thought to myself "one day I have to come here especially for this!". Tonight was that evening. I thought the sunset shoot wasn't happening after the entire day of rainy clouds covering the entire sky above us... and about an hour before sunset time the sun said hello. Well... I had a new...

The Lighthouse at Turkey Point was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, which I think raises its significance as a landmark quite a bit. You can hear from Clint Eastwood fans that one of the scenes for his movie Absolute Power (1997) was filmed at the location: To get to the lighthouse and the tip of the Peninsula you need to park your car at the trail head and hike...

After our last visit to Conowingo Dam (you can actually see it in the distant background of the photo above) when driving off to head back home we saw a glimpse of this bridge. It briefly showed up in the left window of the car and even though it doesn't look like much from the distance I wanted to research more. Yesterday I found a byway that leads straight to it and decided to give it a shot at...

Chestertown, MD is listed on more than one website as one of the cuttest little towns in Maryland that you should definitely visit when in the area. For a reason! The waterfront is beautiful and there's more than a few restaurants that offer delicious dinner options. Wikipedia tells us that in the mid-eighteenth century, Chestertown trailed onlyAnnapolis and was considered Maryland's second...

Annapolis is one of those places that you could probably photograph for a week and keep coming up with new angles, new images and new views, all different and every single one better than the previous. Today we visited for the first time and while the sunset wasn't bad we feel like we can certainly beat it. We'll be back soon to add more views to this post!...

On a VERY cold April morning I made my way to Conowingo Dam and captured this stitched image with Phantom 4. Due to time restrictions of this particular morning (kids have to go to school) I was only able to have the drone in the air for about 10 minutes. Actually staying for longer would be difficult as it was freezing anyway. Flying while wearing gloves is difficult and dangerous so I don't do...

This was a gloomy, rainy, sleepy day in our home town. The forecast wasn't giving any hope for a change in the evening and around 5pm I thought there would be no drone in the air. However, thing started changing dramatically around 6:30pm. What appeared to be a thick cloud cover gave way to clear sky and eventually the sun found it's way through. I decided to fly right from the backyard of our...

I haven't lived in Maryland for long. Not even a year actually. My permanent residence in USA started in New Jersey. Then I moved to "downstate" New York for about four years. Then came time for Philadelphia, where during my last year in the city I started my adventure with drones and created Fly like an Eagle. In the middle of 2015 myself and my wonderful girlfriend Blonnie moved to MD. Prior to...
