I decided to take a flight to the SF peaks this afternoon and experiment some more with the GoPro; also the video lessons on Adobe Premiere at http://lynda.com are helping and I am acquiring a rudimentary working knowledge of the program ... soon to come, seamless transitions and music tracks.

 

The placement of the camera works for some aspects I want, but also need to have a camera on the wing to get the clean and pure view of the mountains and other things I will be shooting. In addition to having a new EFIS put in the Lambada in the morning I'm also having mounts made to take the camera and control it by wi-fi connection from the cockpit.

 

The video starts with me in the air having just taken off; turn to the NW and the initial climb out; transition to approaching the peaks and one pass and then the cut to the return to the Sedona area with engine off ... finally the landing and roll out and off the runway.

Not pleased with quality but will work to improve over the weekend - best to not go full screen with this one. https://vimeo.com/120129495

 

Need to call it a night as I want to be in the air at sunrise to head down to Falcon Field and Performance One Aviation to get the work done. I love this place, Heath and Tammy who own it, bought the business a number of years ago from his boss; they moved out of the original hanger to a much larger one and just recently took over another hanger ... business is booming for them, but then when you offer a quality product/service and treat your customers right you will always do well ... and they do!

 

Into the weekend ... back Monday morning. Have a joyful weekend and enjoy those you choose to be with ... and

 

Smiles

At nightfall...though I know I shall sometime no more

Open my eyes to the light or day, I am one who looks at stars when

Unchained from the work-bench at Nightfall.

They are a sign that I am not ephemeral,

Not you, nor you, whoever you are.

The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling in the brooding night,

Forever and forever.
