Flights of Fancy by William Daugherty
Another local favorite swimming hole, transformed into a visually stunning environment by snow and ice. Video is another two-part exploration: it starts with cinematic footage, then at 3:23 shifts to FPV. Vertigo warning!
Many of us have enjoyed this enchanting place during the warmer months, but this time of year it becomes an alien landscape that is both wondrous and daunting. Even at noon, not much light gets down in there, but I gave it my best shot!
The video is really two different movies. The first half is a traditional cinematic experience and is quite beautiful. The second half is an edge-of-your-seat FPV flight up and down the gorge. This was some of the most exciting flying I’ve ever done!
Video link is below photos.
I realize this may not be as interesting as my normal work, but it is just so much fun!
NOTE: the Lake Morey footage was shot under my FAA waiver which allows me to fly above people.
The stills were shot with the Air 3 and the video was shot with the little Neo.
…and a bonus sunset photo from Plainfield!
Bundle up before watching, because it was COLD out there! Stills below video.
