 1st April
A set of aerial pictures taken yesterday afternoon at the Killabrega tholtan in the hills above Sulby Glen.  I usually do my aerial photography in the height band from around 100 ft to 400 ft above ground level, but some of these images were taken as an experiment at much lower levels.  Unfortunately there was some quite low cloud cover which has muted the colours a bit.  DJI Mini 2

11th April - Ramsey
The following set of nine pictures are a bit of an experiment in linked interactive panoramas.  They were shot at Ramsey Harbour this morning, although not in the order that they are displayed in here, due to varying lighting.  The pictures aren't perfect, but you should be able to follow a sequence from outside the breakwaters all the way past the swing bridge and up into the top part of the harbour.  There are 'hot spots' on the pictures (little drone icons) so you can hop around.   DJI Mini 2
 
 
Some more conventional aerial pictures taken during yesterday morning's 'interactive panorama' shoot at Ramsey.  Unlike the interactive ones, these are just in the order they were shot, it took me hours to sort out the order of yesterdays ones!  DJI Mini 2

19th June
A set of pictures inspired by a request for some aerial photographs of the new nature reserve in Laxey.  The reserve is on private land managed by the Ballanette Trust and was only opened for public access last month, when I took some ground level pictures there.  Much of the site is on land reclaimed from the old Laxey Dump site, which required clearance, including several motor vehicles!  It's quite early days for the reserve but a lot of grass and wildflower seeds have been sown there so it will look a lot greener next year.  I also took some extra shots of the Great Laxey Mine and several panoramas.  DJI Mini 2
