A visit to the City
of Peel yesterday afternoon. A dull and overcast day with pictures
taken from mid afternoon until it was almost completely dark.
I'm very impressed with
the capability of the Panasonic TZ200 compact to produce quality pictures
in very low light conditions. 4/1/19

Some Aerial photography
in the Cregneash and Spanish Head areas yesterday afternoon. After
a bright and sunny start to the day it had unfortunately clouded over by
the time I arrive on sight, but I still managed four flights and took some
reasonable pictures. DJI Spark 17/1/19

21st January
A small weather 'window'
suitable for some Small Unmanned Aircraft flying opened on Sunday morning
and I visited Garwick Beach, a lovely location
on the east coast between
Onchan and Laxey. DJI Spark 20/1/19
On the way home from
Garwick I stopped at Axnfell for a short check flight and captured this
panorama under lowering clouds.
24th January
After some overnight
snow on the high ground, I went out to take some aerial pictures in the
Snaefell area. However, despite Onchan being in sunshine, it was
still snowing up there, so I took some ground level photos while hoping
the weather would clear enough to fly. Panasonic TZ200 23/1/19
After a while the weather
started to clear and I was able to get two flights in, the first from the
moorland track leading from Moutain Box to the north of Snaefell and the
second from the lower slopes of Mullagh Ouyr, south of Snaefell.

30th January
After a lot of rain
overnight, I revisited the Injebreck waterfall for some more pictures with
a higher water flow, followed by a short walk in the adjoining plantation
and a look at the snow on the higher ground by the Brandywell Road and
Bungalow. Nikon D7100 29/1/19
Taking a short walk
along a nearby forest track (the one time 'Govenor Loch's Road),
I found these amazing moss covered trees, followed by a view across the
valley that I don't think I'd seen before. The views from forest
tracks can change due to tree felling and re-planting.
Snow by the Mountain
Road at the Brandywell Road junction and Bungalow.
