Great minds think alike. But I simply got a hair dryer from Goodwill, so no domestic clashes. Used to dry neoprene booties.That’s quite the spiffy boot dryer. I had one years ago that I fabricated out of PVC pipe/elbows and hooked it up to a hair dryer for purposes of drying out kayaking gear. It ended up getting shelved as my better half was always wondering why her hair appliance kept disappearing.
The "cattle guards" at the gate in your second photo remind me of a local politician who, some years ago, wondered why the state was paying for cattle guards. "Let the farmers hire their own guards," he said.a short trip to check that my new mirror was in the right position ..dont know how i managed without one ... i forgot to take a drink todayso i had to stop at Eppleby for a coffee + scone

Amazing resolution on those drone photos. Mind sharing your setup info ??Spent a great a day cycling around Banff National Park.
Scenic drone shots taken from above the Old Camp pullout along the lesser-known Hwy 1A. The images were shot a day before while driving in our car towards Cochrane, AB for an overnight stay before heading off to Banff.

Drone footage of a train passing by at Gap Lake along Hwy 1A near the town of Exshaw, AB.
Back in 2020, the Canadian mens speedskating team was using the lake to practice on due to a meltdown at the Olympic Oval in Calgary.

I’ve been using a stock out-of-the-box DJI mini 2 which is under the 250g max weight allowable for non-restricted rec drones in Canada. I always have the camera set at 4K 24fps. I’m definitely not a pro when it comes to photo/videography so I usually leave it on auto but switching to manual setting will allow one to control shutter speed, white balance, etc… to further tweak/enhance the resolution of the final product. I also use ND filters which really help with over exposure during sunny conditions. It’s akin to putting sunglasses on. I’m still pretty much a novice and still working on user technique but I do find that keeping it in cine mode during flight as opposed to normal/sport setting will result in ultra smooth motion such as when performing banked turns or simply moving the drone slowly forward is vital during the recording process to obtain quality pro-like footage. Normal or sport modes will allow you to turn the drone around, move forward or return back in a much quicker fashion if required. Single frame shots such as the first two images can be further enhanced with any photo editor. There are plenty of online video tutorials out there that will help those (such as me) who have never operated a drone before to get started on the right foot. I also found that practicing in an open field at lower altitude helped me to gain confidence and improve my handling skills. Just a word of caution, check for restricted air space before you decide to launchAmazing resolution on those drone photos. Mind sharing your setup info ??
