18th April
These pictures were
taken on a walk on Thursday afternoon, from Port Erin to Fleshwick and
back over Bradda Head. Unfortunately the weather was
rather dull for most
of the time, but it's a great walk although the climb from Fleshwick to
Bradda is a bit on the steep side!
Pictures all taken on
the Panasonic TZ60 compact camera.
    
   
  
Some tram pictures from
a trip up Snaefell on the mountain railway yesterday. The would normally
have been in the Railways section but were all
post processed in Corel
PSP, all but the last using the 'Time Machine - Early Colour' filter, so
more properly belong in the general pictures section.

Pictures from a walk
on Saturday afternoon from Port Erin to Cregneash, The Sound and back to
Port Erin along the coast path, nearly all on
footpaths or green lanes
apart from a small amount of road in Port Erin and Cregneash. Pictures
taken with TZ60
    
    
    
Some aerial shots taken
yesterday morning in the Ronaldsway and Langness areas. Operation
of a Small Unmanned Aircraft there was only undertaken
after co-ordination
with Ronaldsway Air Traffic Control. The quadcopter used was the
DJI Phantom 2 Vision +. This is equipped with a wide angle
lens on the camera that
produces quite a lot of distortion on horizons, which can be partially
corrected by post processing.
   
   
 
24th April
The fantastic weather
and (more importantly) light winds of the last few days have made great
flying conditions for the quadcopter. The following pictures were
taken over three days flying from the beach at Douglas with the last five
from Douglas Head.
    
    
    
    
    
Some pictures taken

Pictures taken on a

27th April
Aerial pictures taken
yesterday morning with the Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter. As these flights
took place within the Ronaldsway Aerodrome Traffic Zone and also very close
to the airport boundary on the first flight, they were only undertaken
after full consultation with Air Traffic Control. A useful guide to flying
small remotely piloted aircraft in the Isle of Man is available here
from the Isle of Man Civil Aviation Authority.
    
  
29th April
Pictures from a short
walk around the Douglas Head area yesterday afternoon, taken with the Panasonic
