Happy Thanksgiving! One thing for which I am eternally grateful is this amazing place where we live. This morning was a good example. Plainfield, New Hampshire 11/27/25

Someone suggested a Plainfield-specific calendar yesterday. Hmm.
2026 Drone Art Calendars are in the works!
It has begun! Work has commenced on the 2026 Drone Art Calendars. This year we will have the Classic edition (each shot from it’s respective month over the past year), the Fall edition, and one or two more special editions based on customer feedback. We are considering a SkyScapes edition (sunrise/sunset/clouds), and possibly an Abstract edition (unusual/ethereal). They should be available mid-November. Reserve yours today! I try to coordinate orders via email: william@drone-artist.com
No Kings Rallies in the Upper Valley 10/18/25
Scenes from Windsor, VT, White River Junction, VT, and West Lebanon, NH.
NOTE: All this was flown under an FAA waiver permitting operations over unprotected people and moving vehicles. Also, FAA airspace approval was obtained for the northern two locations. Please know, understand, and follow all rules for drone operations!
River Ice and various scenes around Windsor, Vermont – 2/28/25
I’ve never seen this amount of ice in the Connecticut River at the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge. It was dramatic.
This video makes extensive use of time compression. What do you think?
Snow and Ice around Burnap’s Island – Connecticut River – Plainfield, New Hampshire 2/23/25
Storrs Hill Big Air Aerial Jump Demo. Lebanon, New Hampshire 2/23/25
Due to their late start and my illness, I didn’t really get much of the event. At least I got some nice shots of the hill and Lebanon. The video captures some of the jumps, but it is quite brief.
LFD Fire Station Construction Progress. Lebanon, New Hampshire 2/12/25
For reference, here’s how it looked on 2/1/25:

A beautiful winter flight turned into the coolest thing I’ve ever done flying a drone. Plainfield, New Hampshire 2/3/25
What started off as a normal flight over the Blow-me-Down Brook near the Plainfield Village quickly evolved into a riveting experience for me as a pilot and wildlife photographer/videographer. The still photos below lead up to the encounter. See if you spot the creature in the last three stills. The video shows the rest of the story.
This video is 15 minutes long but has a lot of much closer footage.
Mascoma River near the Connecticut River Confluence. West Lebanon, New Hampshire 2/3/25
This was some of the toughest flying I’ve ever done due to the 50′ AGL altitude restriction. It might be worth it to get a waiver at some point to fly higher here, especially with this ice. As it was, I had to snake my way in and through the trees the entire flight. Worth it!
