My Birthday!

Happy Birthday to myself! My Pentax arrived yesterday and now its time to go use it for the first time! Paul and I met up in the field and got the camera strapped in a quad-copter for interval shots. I spent most of the time flying the quad copter rover the remaining canopy, going back in forth so I had even coverage over the northern side of the plot. Compared to previous experiences, it was much harder to fly the copter over this area because of the prevailing winds and fifteen minute showers.

When I got home, I immediately exported the images from the new Pentax and started processing the photoscan. The images pretty much came out perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I did a few other things with the photoscan to prepare it for further calculations and took the rest of the afternoon off to celebrate my birthday off.

Emily bought be a big cake to share with anyone and it was delicious! Thanks Emily!

The rest of the night we relaxed and went night swimming before getting ready for a day off in Honolulu!
