Eastern Railroad Discussion > Cresson Twilight

As many of you know, my wife and I purchased the Station Inn B&B last year from the Davis family after Tom's passing.  While we still live in Pittsburgh I am often up for the weekend taking care of various chores, projects, meetings, and whatnot.  This weekend, the ladies were at a "girls weekend" (including our innkeeper aunt Pat) and so I was on B&B innkeeper duty for the weekend.  While the weather was mostly garbage, I did get the new drone out at bit Friday night to get a look at a westbound intermodal train.  Not sure of the symbol on this, here is a "coming" and a "going" view taken with the DJI Mini 3 Pro at ISO 6400, 1/6 sec exposure, with noise reduction in Photoshop 2024.  I'd say this is really pushing the limit of what the drone can do but I was quite pleased with the results.

Cool. Thank you for sharing. You should be able to get some nice crisp colorful trees and blue skies images.
 

Cool shots Alex - love the overhead perspective of familar grounds.  Sorry to miss you and the gang this summer at the Inn.  From pics my bros took, the Yard Office never looked so good!

Interesting to see the lights are still on in the former helper terminal, although it looks a bit desolate.  Time marches on...

Awesome look in the 2nd shot. Look forward to more of those.

Great twilight aerials Alex.  Here are three taken in October 2009 during Tom's "twilight" years.  No drone; just a rented Cessna.

Nice bunch...

Neat stuff! Each time I see some good drone work my resistance is chipped away just a bit more. But at 68 my instinct tells me I’m too far down the road to try and develop some kind of drone protocol. But I can see a whole new art form already established, and getting better every day… 🤗

MILW86A 

never to old , give it a try , get info on different drones , and who know you may master it , but at least no regrets for not trying

It's a lot of fun, and not that difficult. If my luddite friend PghMike can do it, so can you!
