Default Photos from my model airplane.
I shot these photos today from my model airplane. I flew higher than I've flown before in this area. Becasue it was so dark out the photos aren't as sharp as they would have been had it been bright.

The plane looks like this, or it looked like that when it was new. Now it's beat up, chipped and scratched to hell:


I'm thinking of getting a huge plane for my next camera plane. Tihs is high on my list:

I can never get over how beautiful it is where you live. Then again I live near detroit so anything looks nice in comparison. Still though, nice pics! [thumbup]

Any chance of a kmz or longitude and latitude for where you fly your planes so we can see on Google Earth ?

Tah - This is what you need:

It is a GPS data logger - it constantly records GPS information to the SD card that is plugged in. It would be great for your flights - you could see all of the exact info about each one, and even plot the flights on Google Earth. [thumbup]

It's just a simple Nikon Coolpix 3700 compact camera.

The camera shoots constantly, one picture every two or three seconds I think. Each flight produces ~150 pictures.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, God! you live in such a beautiful place.
I'd love to live somewhere like that.
I have some quite picturesque places near where I live, but nothing as good as that.

The more I see this place, the more it makes me want to move there.

Maybe I'll retire there when I'm older.
I'm not too fussed about the cold, you sort of get use to that in Wales and the UK as a whole.

You should count yourself as a very lucky person to live in such a place with such a nice countryside.

And those pictures rock!!

Great hobby you have, and such great fun too.

Can you say exactly where you live, then I can google it and find out a bit more.

I live in Målselv in Norway. I won't be more specific because I don't want people knocking on my door. Most people are bored to death here, and only stay here a few years before moving south.

I took some more pictures today. I zoomed in some so I can't rotate and crop these pictures like I can with the wide angle pictures:

The plane is looking pretty damn ghetto now. the fuselage has been glued together in at least four places.

I showed my wife your pictures and said "This is where we're going when we retire",

Her reply was "Is this, before of after I divorce you!".

So it looks like I'm stuck here for life, Although she said a skiing holiday would be nice.

So its not all bad.
