A Chilly Sunrise
Sunrise at home on a chilly and breezy morning.

This was a quick, early morning flight for the sole purpose of catching a sunrise. It was quite chilly, so I didn't try to get a ton of flight time.
I liked the footage I was able to capture and used iMovie to reduce it and create a time lapse video. I only wish I had gone higher to capture a better view of the sunrise. Mental note for next time.
Note: I received a "remote battery low" warning about 5 minutes into the flight. I watched the battery indicator light carefully to make sure I would have enough left to retrieve the drone. Which I was able to do safely.
