We had an amazing time in Playa del Carmen and I’m ready to go back right now. Here is a short video from our time there.
Downtown Pittsburgh Hyperlapse
Here is a short drone time lapse video (what DJI calls Hyperlapse) of downtown Pittsburgh from the Fort Pitt Bridge back down the Allegheny River. I captured this last Sunday morning before sunrise.
Carnival Glory in Jamaica
Here is a video of the Carnival Glory docked in Jamaica captured via my drone. I captured this footage in early 2020 just before COVID hit the United States…. We probably got lucky we were not trapped on the ship when we returned to New Orleans.
Bonaire Sunset 2020
I took this time lapse in Bonaire before the pandemic….better times for sure. Just watching it helps my current attitude.
Under Armour Offices
I captured this drone video during the filming of “Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition”, which is now playing on Amazon Prime. We went to capture photos and video at Under Armour’s Corporate Offices since they sponsored us for this project.
It was a fun project to work on with @jasonpohuski and @jakemysliwczykphoto. Teaser…we filmed a 2nd Episode in Gary Indiana recently to be released late spring/early summer.
Aruba Sailing Time Lapse
I know I’ve posted a few time lapse videos lately. Sorry I have another one for you tonight.
MJ and I took a sunset sail on a large Catamaran during our last trip. I stuck my DJI Pocket Osmo on the top of the boat and just let it roll for two hours. This time lapse is the result. Thanks to Captain Richard for allowing me to mount this camera near his control area.
Regensburg Cathedral
Short post tonight. Here is a drone photo I captured last May in Regensburg Germany. This little college town was super fun. The architecture, history and beauty are all great. Loved it!!

My Micro Planet
I was messing around Sunday with my drone and created this little video while sitting on my deck…. Not exactly a cinematic classic, but fun!! Have a great week.
Pittsburgh's Backside
Short post for you tonight. Here is a DJI Mavic Pro hyperlapse video from the backside of downtown Pittsburgh. This is actual a combination of two different hyperlapse videos merged together. Enjoy.
Cancun Resport Via Drone
I must admit that I rarely watch videos online that last more then 30 seconds. So, I don’t know how attractive this will be for you since it is well over 30 seconds long. Regardless, here is a compilation of drone footage I took on our last trip to Cancun Mexico. It took me months just to get around to editing the video, but here you go.
Szechenyi Chain Bridge
We had a great river cruise down the Danube River to Budapest. There are so many wonderful spots. I captured this photo with my drone of the 19th-century suspension bridge connecting Buda to Pest with the Buda Castle and Palace complex in the background. The castle housed the Hungarian Kings of Budapest. It was completed in 1265 and was expanded/renovated in 1749 and 1769. In the past it was referred to by Royal Palace or Royal Castle. Today Hungary uses it for their National Gallery and History Museum.

6th Street
Have a great weekend. I had all kinds of ideas about what I could and should do…. And I’m not doing any of them. So, what did I do? I ran a 5K fun run today to raise money and awareness for TRPIL, but otherwise I’ve got lazy and didn’t do much.
I took this photo few weeks ago at dusk in downtown Pittsburgh. I think Pittsburgh is a beautiful city with amazing views. This is one of many such spots. If you’re not familiar with Pittsburgh, this is the 6th Street Bridge in the foreground and the downtown area of the city behind it.

Abandoned Detroit
This is one of my favorite spots in Detroit. The Michigan Central Station in the background is a wonderful spot. The evening I took this photo, my group had 5 drones flying around at the same time (which was interesting)…. More importantly, the sky was magical that night to help make this photo special.

The Burgh
Most of my photos are extremely colorful. I usually push the limits of color because that’s the way I like them. Tonight’s photo is toned down compared to my normal. I took this photo with my drone a few months ago at sunset. Downtown Pittsburgh is a beautiful spot.

Pripyat Apartment Building
It’s been five months since we returned from our Chernobyl trip and I’ve only processed about 20% of the photos I took on that trip. And I haven’t edited any of the videos at all. It’ll take me years to get them all done. In fact, I just finished editing my photos from South Africa, which happened in 2017….. It just takes me a while.
Why did I tell you all that, I don’t know. Regardless, this is a photo I took with the drone looking down at an apartment building in Pripyat inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. You can see our bus and a few of us on the street in front of the building. What a great experience.

Mexican Peninsula
What a beautiful spot!! I took this photo with my drone while traveling north of Cancun. The beach was amazing along this stretch. I think I need a vacation home in this area. Anyone want to back that project for me?

Downtown Pitt
I took this photo with my drone a few months ago in downtown Pittsburgh at dawn. The site wasn’t really even awake yet. This is a perspective not seen often. I like the leading lines with the road heading towards the Highmark building and the road along the river.

Chernobyl Cranes
I flew my drone a long way down the Pripyat River to capture this photo. I honestly don’t remember the distance, but I can tell you it was far enough that I got nervous. My drone was losing reception and acting weird. When it started to fly back to me, I started to feel better again. Thankfully, I captured this photo before it started acting up.
These cranes are abandoned on the river a short distance from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

Sunrise Over The Beach
What can I say about this photo that is doesn’t say by itself? Probably nothing!!! Let’s just sit back and enjoy it. I took this photo, along with a bunch of others, with my drone flying back and forth low along the beach. I love the colors and feel of it.

Pripyat Apartment Building
I haven’t posted a Chernobyl photo recently, so here you go. This is one of the large apartment buildings in the city of Pripyat a few miles from the nuclear power plant. Typical Soviet utilitarian style construction. As you can tell, I was there in the fall while the leaves where changing colors and used by drone to capture this image.
