My first flight was thirty seconds of bliss, feeling like a bird before slamming into a tree that came out of nowhere. Absolute panic set in as I tortured myself for having been so last-minute, for trying to learn less than three days before leaving the country to use not-cheap equipment I convinced my client to buy. I was in Nantucket, nonetheless, in a land I had never known until the afternoon prior. Then came the internets and Nick & Barry to the rescue. I’d already started planning in my mind to figure out how to buy and deliver a drone to my hotel in Milan. Maybe, just maybe, this could still work out…and then thanks to ladders and GPS, those thoughts vanished and we took it out for another spin.
So it did work out. And it was glorious! And I crashed it and had to run after it several times throughout those first few days in Italy. And because of fear, I missed so many opportunities to get a bird’s-eye view of my 3+ weeks spent in Italy this summer.
However, I’m going back in November, drone in tow. If you have any great tips, videos, or inspiration to share in the meantime, I’d greatly appreciate it.
I’ve been saying for a few years now that bird watching will be a part of my retirement, but in the meantime, while I still can, I’m taking to the sky and putting myself in their position, ON A MISSION TO SEE AND LIVE MORE.
Anyway, here is some footage I got. The middle and end parts have the pretty, what-you-would-expect drone type of material. Featured is 🥂@pescajaofficial in Cisterna d’Asti, Piemonte 🥂@terradiseta in Chianti Classico, Tuscany 🥂@cantinagiuliano in Terricciola, Tuscany 🥂 and views in Pizzo, Calabria.
Thank you, @moishemayer, for believing in me. 🥂💜🤌
