Schafherde von oben im Zeitraffer

Der Dronenfotograf Lior Patel hat ein paar Monate damit verbracht, eine große Schafherde mit der Drone zu begleiten. Ähnliches hatte ich hier schon mal und war davon schon beeindruckt. Patel aber hat die Aufnahmen dann noch gezeitraffert, was die sich bewegenden Schafe wie Flüssigkeiten wirken lässt.

For the past seven months I have been following a large herd of sheep, from winter pasture to the movement and arrival at the summer pasture. The size of the herd ranges from 1000-1700 sheep.

China von oben

Beeindruckende Drohnenaufnahmen, die die landschaftliche und städtische Vielfalt von China zeigt.

China is a vast country with a seemingly endless variety of landscapes. From the modern skylines of Shanghai and Hong Kong to the ancient city walls of Xi’an, the former capital of the ‘Middle Kingdom’. Imposing rice terraces contrast with stark desert scenery, massive coal factories rub shoulders with newly built cities.

Plattenbauten in Hong Kong aus Drohnenperspektive

Blocks in Hong Kong und Drohnenaufnahmen sind immer wieder gleichsam beeindruckend wie auch irgendwie bedrückend. So auch hier.

The population of Hong Kong is estimated at 7.50 million in 2020 It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and has a population density of 6790.74 people per square kilometer.

Why “Blocks“ ?
Concrete jungle – a city or urban area which has a high density of large, unattractive, modern buildings and is perceived as an unpleasant living environment. But that doesn’t apply to everyone. I moved to Hong Kong few years ago and since day one I got obsessed by these giant public housing/apartment block building structures, their patterns, colours, shapes, architecture, how massively yet easy they blend in and coexist with each other in this city. Back in Riga, Latvia (that’s where I’m from) old and grey post soviet block buildings represent big part of my identity as well, I guess that might have given me extra interest in this particular topic.
My attempt to capture the city feel, often very dystopian, moody and futuristic, at least that is how I felt.

Tornado vs Drohne

Der Storm chaser und Fotojournalist Brian Emfinger machte am 2. Mai 2021 südöstlich von Yazoo City, Mississippi, mit einer Drohne Nahaufnahmen eines Tornados, wobei dieser sein filmendes Fluggerät aus der Luft schoß.

The tornado came at me a little further east than I first thought so where I lifted off the drone and was parked ended up being right in the middle of the path. Didn’t want to leave the spot because it was actually an open view but as debris started raining down and the tornado was within 100 yds or so I had to split.

Unfortunately during that brief dash I wasn’t focused on flying the drone and ended up losing it. Debris probably hit it around the time I was getting away from the tornado. That drone had flew in probably 10 hurricanes, was soaked numerous times in rain and snow, and had recently simply dropped out of the sky for no apparent reason…. so it lived a good drone life but it was its time.

Wenn ein aktiver Vulkan deine Drohne schluckt

Bjorn Steinbekk, a guy with a drone, hat uns in den letzten Monaten immer wieder mit grandiosen Dronenaufnahmen des aktiven Fagradalsfjall Vulkans in Island versorgt. Heute ist er wieder dort gewesen, ganz schön nahe in den Krater geflogen – und dann hat der Vulkan sich seine Drohne geholt. Vielleicht sollten manche Kapitel dann halt auch genau so dann mal enden.

It’s hard to describe in words, but I have actually been very emotional this morning, crying and sad but also so thankful for this experience and being able to share it with you. I realised last night when I took a walk down to say goodbye to this magnificent phenomenon that you can fall in love with a volcano. Takk!
