Looks really good, with nice editing to the music (although on occasion I found the speed with which you changed shots was a bit too fast for me). There was one error - I think you meant "Real Estate" rather than "Real State".

Hate my family, so I do just fine.

Looks interesting, but why is there not more of a gradient - why for example does the chimney not register at all? Does it only register over a threshold and can you adjust the threshold?

Your price has to match your product. If your product is not up to scratch you will only get one or two jobs regardless of price. If your product is good then you shouldn't under-price yourself or they will wonder why (as will you after a while). If you are confident then charge enough to...

We have even more restrictive rules in New Zealand - you need permission from everyone you overfly, including roads and (occasionally) rivers. But with a quick chat I've never had a problem, and you don't have to go to nuts overflying someone else's property, so for the most part if, say, the...

Yikes - is that right? What about commercial flights (no, I didn't read the full article).

Just made me laugh - 'Grumpy' giving the thumbs up on post #3. God bless us grumpy old bastards!

The stuff of memories.. I'm currently in Moldova where it hasn't been above zero for weeks. Hard to imagine I got fed up with the constant greenness and sunshine (or warm rain) of NZ.

The Maltese Falcon - at the end they hear a buzzing outside the window and a drone flies by with the falcon slung underneath it..

I've downloaded Davinci and when I get 6 months I'll learn it. In the meantime Adobe elements is intuitive, quick and easy. Just not free.

Send your money to.. It's National Wine Day on the 5th (?) October; they take their wine seriously. And yes, the French and I don't see face to face. I bought a kiwi flag (to go with one of my passports) to throw them off the scent. ;)

Full time till recently; now I've relocated to Europe, buying a house in France and running wine tours in Moldova. The benefits of multiple passports :)

Look at it this way - returning their money is an investment in goodwill. If it's a wedding they'll appreciate one less thing to stress about; if it's commercial it can only lead to good word of mouth. Short term loss, long term gain. Just to be clear - if it's weather related you keep nothing...

I read an article within the past month that showed this being done - BBC? The other advantage is that there is less drift, assuming you are at a lower altitude, less over run of the intended area, and if you combine it with IR/UV there is the chance to save money by being very selective about...

Very interesting video - the first I've seen using someone to focus the narrative. Also a lot shorter than i shoot (3 minutes). I guess the answer depends on the property - mine are larger farms and lifestyle sections -
