Description
In October of 2023 I made a trip to the Oregon Coast with the intention of using my newly acquired drone to shoot the lighthouses from the ocean side. I started from the north and worked my way south and was able to shoot Tillamook Rock, Cape Meares, Yaquina Head and some at Heceta Head. I had to pass on the Yaquina Bay light as it was in a no fly zone. Midway through the trip I managed to do something stupid and crashed and lost the drone. Clearly an unforced error but at least I had insurance and was able to replace it. I came back this past October and started from the south and was able to complete the project. This is the Cape Arago light near Coos Bay. It’s on a small inaccessible island but easily seen from the air. The ocean was fairly calm which precluded any strong wave action but the upside was the clarity of the water and I could even hear the seals in the RLC serenading each other from where I was standing.
Specific Feedback
Enhanced the sky a tiny bit with Luminar Neo. I don’t like to go crazy with AI but subtle touches can help if not overdone. Your thoughts?
