I love bringing new ideas to share with you about social media through some very special connections. Mark Morrow is a very talented photographer that I daresay I was stalking a bit…ha ha on Instagram. I saw some of his pictures which evolved into me engaging him in a bit of conversation. His beautiful photographs of our city and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. He reached out to me via Facebook where we were able to continue conversations in a little more depth.
I would encourage you to check out Mark’s work. Use this blog as a tool to share with others who would be interested in photography.

In for a Landing
Last weekend I happened upon this kind gentleman as he was unloading a rather large remote-controlled (R/C) glider from his vehicle. His name is Vic Ingraham and he lives and works here in the Roanoke Valley. I was curious if he would be opposed to my filming his launch (and what I could of his flight) with a GoPro-mounted Dji Phantom. More than interested to oblige, we quickly set up to shoot his take-off.
To do so, Vic firmly tosses the craft upward and forward, and engages a small electric motor to assist in climbing to altitude. He then turns off the motor and soars freely, sometimes for hours on end.
I’ll have more on my experience with the Dji Phantom in an upcoming post. Here’s a short clip of Vic’s launch and surrounding scenery.
After roughly ten minutes of flight, having attempted in vain to chase Vic down with no FPV (first-person view) source, I decided to bag the quad and grab the camera as Vic was approaching to land.
Thanks for visiting, hope you had an excellent Christmas season and enjoying a well-deserved calm after the storm.
