Towards Fisher Towers




It’s been interesting how my impression of what a drone can be used for has expanded recently. I previously considered mostly the benefits of allowing a higher point of view but another major benefit was also apparent during our recent NxNW trip to Utah. Regardless of height, a drone vastly expands the range of camera positions you have access to. Using the drone here, I was able to position a camera on the other side of the Colorado River and get a line of sight towards Fisher Towers that just wasn’t possible from the road.

For the technically inclined...

  • Aperture: ƒ/2.8
  • Camera: FC3411
  • Exposure bias: -7/10EV
  • Focal length: 8.38mm
  • ISO: 100
  • Shutter speed: 1/160s
