A - No
B - Probably, but as new joiner specifically you may possibly have not been aware of the UK laws regarding UAV's.
A - NoYes I am familiar. I learned about all that from this very helpful post. CAP 722/393
Just out of interest. My post count and joined date have both been called into question today.
a - Do I need "X" amount of posts to voice my opinion on this site? (irishsights says so)
b - would you have asked if I was familiar with CAP 722/393 had I joined this site yesterday, last week, or last year??
I'm going to acknowledge all the other posts and take them on board, but I'm not going to comment on them.Easy chap, I did not call you a troll
What I did do was connect the dots to previous post you made calling a guy out for posting that someone's flight path was questionable, then you doing the same exact thing to Andrew here on this thread. (you should have thought about the PM function sooner)
I found it funny and was not calling YOU a troll, (just describing your post calling Andrew out).
Question for Andrew .....
My snow pictures tend to get washed out, what settings were you using?
I'm going to acknowledge all the other posts and take them on board, but I'm not going to comment on them.
Camera settings though I'll talk about all daythe shots from camera were all grey and under exposed. I shot jpeg for these, no colour setting, auto ISO and 0 exposure. I try to shoot the flatest (exposure) image I can knowing that I'll get the "look" I have in my head in post when I take the image into lightroom.
In lightroom I bumped the exposure up a stop and gave it a bit of clarity slider exposing the whole image correctly, but blowing out the actual snow in the image.
I'll then adjust the high light slider until I'm happy with the "whiteness" of the snow.
Hope that makes sense if not PM me and I'll take some screen shots etc of my sliders in lightroom.

You know what... Just mind your business and live and let live. Enough!Andrew, I am only pointing this out in case you didn't know, if you did know then forget my post as you said you are pretty happy. The laws of UK are very clear about flying over congested areas not just houses and there are distance limits too. Check it out yourself. Here's a snippet of the Air Navigation Order:
Article 167 (1) The person in charge of a small unmanned surveillance aircraft must not fly the aircraft in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (2) except in accordance with a permission issued by the CAA.
(2) The circumstances referred to in paragraph (1) are:
(a) over or within 150 metres of any congested area;
Congested Area – Is defined, in relation to a city, town or settlement, any area which is substantially used for residential, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes. Permission from the CAA must be obtained to operate in a congested area if it is likely you will be required to operate within the minimum distances specified with in Cap166 and 167 (see CAOSC)
Please don't get me wrong here, I am not brow beating. On the forum we generally encourage folks to fly within the laws of the country they live in. These are laws in the UK just as much as driving laws...so this is meant kindly, just for your information.
I do like the photos all the same.
Dexter, there is no argument here! So 'live and let live' is way out of what this thread is about. It's not about you telling me to mind my own business it was about the extremely high risk of drawing UK policing authorities attention in the light of an almost identical flight in Scotland where there were charges brought.You know what... Just mind your business and live and let live. Enough!
Sent you a PMYou guys really need to chill out all this hooha over a few pictures, very petty
