Mystic Stripers Society 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-02-29 | I had a great time at the Mystic Stripers Society parade in Mobile, Alabama. I never been to a parade in Mobile and had a great time. Had some help this time around with the photography by Kaylea Mc Kinsey using my Sony A7R5 with the 200mm - 400mm Macro lens and a great assistant, Guy Rainello. Thank you Wesley Charles for a great show and allowing me to drone a great time in Mobile....
New Orleans From Above 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-02-14 | I was visiting New Orleans right before a cold front and was overcast which made for a great back drop of the old French Quarter. I later went droning at night near the Cesar Superdome. As always, the city never disappoints . Love New Orleans...
USS Alabama BB 60 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-02-02 | The USS Alabama (BB-60) - Much respect as she continues to stand watch even after she was decommissioned in 1947, remains an iconic symbol of World War II....
Golden Hour 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-31 | I was next door to the American Legion in Fairhope waiting for the sun to set. While droning, I noticed from a distance a large ship heading out to the Gulf likely from the mobile River. Basically across Mobile Bay from where I was sitting. With my new Mavic 3 Pro Cine by DJI, I used the zoom camera (3X) to capture the ship and the American Legion dock waving the American Flag. Cannot get any more patriotic and proud of our progress as a country than this.....
Chartres St 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-30 | It was an overcast day in New Orleans and was right after the cold snap. Still I wanted to drone the French Quarter. Man was it cold, I managed to capture this street and that was it... I used my Mavic 3 Pro Cine by DJI. Music from www.epidemicsound...
Desolate Moor 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-29 | I was near the Fairhope Pier in Fairhope, Alabama when I decided to pull my camera out and take a few pictures of the City of Mobile in low clouds and Mobile Bay. it was overcast and the lone sailboat made life seem so desolate and hence the title, "Desolate Moor". Sometimes life offers us a moment of quiet and tranquility and it's really up to an individual to decide how to spend that quiet time. I used my Sony A7R5 with the Sony 200mm-600mm lens and ND -filter. Remember to make time for yourself....
Nissan Stadium Home of The Tennessee Titans 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-27 | I mobilized to Nashville, Tennessee for hopeful work post freeze but turned out to be a dud. Good news for Nashville but not so good for those responding. Then came the rain but before the sky dropped, I managed to drone the Nissan Stadium and a little of downtown Nashville. Looks like a growing metropolis with new road expansion and high rises going up. I found Vanderbilt but the rain came too soon. Upon researching the place, I discovered that they are planning to construct a new stadium. Not sure if the current Nissan stadium is broken but what do I know. It looked pretty good to me but what do I know.....
Krewe Of Chewbacchus 2024 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-24 | Another year has rolled on through with the Krewe of Chewbacchus and again was not disappointed. I love this pack of misfits, nerds and everything in between. No fancy floats or college bands found with this Krewe but lots and lots of personalities that comprises what ultimately allures mass crowds and supports each and every growing year. I love how the city turns into a night of zany characters roaming the streets and amongst unsuspecting victims having a great time of laughter, dancing and spreading love. No matter who you are....... can't wait for 2025
Pelican Point Sunset 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-19 | Love visiting Pelican Point at sunset. Some of the most beautiful southern sunsets around. I was with my friend Bob McArthur do some photography in the area and I decided to drone the sunset using my Mavic 3 Pro Cine with a Freewell ND4 filter and exposure at -7. Tranquility and peace comes to mind as I set my drone in place and I just stood and enjoyed the view. I used Bliss as the background music to set the tone. Hope you like.
Revisiting the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-17 | One more drone video of the USS Alabama..... why not!

Birding at Lake Lanier 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-09 | It was a cold and dreary day at Lake Lanier in Cumming, Georgia. I waited for the rain to pass and once it stopped, I took to the air with my Mavic 3 Pro Cine. Found a flock of Georgia native seagulls (making this up) and decided to check them out. Little did I realize how many were out there. Just keeping my flying skills intact.....
Winter Day in Fairhope 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-09 | I finally decided to upgrade my Mavic 3 Cine to the newly released Mavic 3 Pro Cine and test this new puppy out. It was a cool but calm day in Fairhope and was perfect weather to fly around. Amazing instrument that allows me to see the world differently and beautifully away from people with a Birds Eye view of things around me. Love Fairhope....
2023 in Drone 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2024-01-01 | I am so glad 2023 is just about over. It has been a busy year for me and kept me on the road just about the whole year. Not complaining but when I am on the road usually means disaster and or build back because of disasters. However, no matter the circumstances, I would take out my drone and find what is amazing and beautiful of an area I am in. From New Orleans to Ft. Myers Beach Florida to Miami, I have filmed so many amazing places. I decided to create a compilation of clips I have put on BlackBox that are sold to a variety of agencies. A great platform to sell my contents. I used mostly my Mavic 3 Cine, Mini 3 Pro and my Mavic Air 3 all by DJI. May the New Year bring you good fortune, good health and happy travel....
Visiting Loxahatchee River and Jupiter Lighthouse 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-12-15 | I sold one of my drones recently and offered to deliver to the other side of Florida (Atlantic side) just for a get away. I was near the city of Jupiter and they had a light house. Well, you know what that means, A new video.

Ft Myers Beach, Florida 2023 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-12-14 | Well, this project in Ft. Myers Beach is coming to a close for me and will be heading home and onwards to my next adventure. I have to say that Cape Coral, Ft Myers Beach and all the surrounding area is beautiful with unbelievable nature and scenery to enjoy. The beaches, the sunrises and sunsets, the many great restaurants , parks and things to do. I would consider living here but reality sets in and home is where I need to be for now. I have not been home for any period of time since January. I miss my Red and the family as well. Here are a few departing scenes surrounding my work area showing progress post hurricane Ian.

It all looked so picturesque. I decided to pull over and capture this golden hour with my Magic 3 Cine while in awe of how beautiful Alabama really truly is.....
Mobile At Sunset Bumble Bee Productions 2023-12-04 | Love Mobile, Alabama. Small, quaint city along Mobile Bay with access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Ft Myers Beach 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-12-02 | It was a beautiful day in Ft Myers Beach and I decided to drone random points of interest. It was a busy day and a lot was going on. Love the pirate boat, I had to buzz the pirates for a minute. Bald eagles are nesting in the area and from a safe distance and using my zoom lens managed to capture one of the eagles resting. A great day indeed....
Visiting Punta Gorda Bumble Bee Productions 2023-11-29 | I was driving around the other day just randomly searching for something new to drone and I came across Ponce De Leon state park. It was a beautiful place where folks would sit on the beach, runners, hikers and bike riders enjoyed the early morning weather and a few folks fishing on the dock. I did a quick recon of the area and headed north to do a little bike ride of my own. As I traveled into Punta Gorda, I found the marina and walking/biking trail along the bay. I figured this was as good of a spot to bike ride as any. So off I went and discovered the Military Heritage Museum. then further down the way was Fishermen's Village. I continued my bike ride for a few miles north and opposite of Fishermen's and discovered the Veterans Memorial Park and a sea of American Flags flying graciously at the park honoring Veterans. It was Veterans Day and a time to reflect for those that have given their all and those sacrificing their lives everyday domestic and abroad. It was a sea of patriotism that I have not seen in recent years. I left the park with a warmed heart and a tear or two on my old man's cheeks. Never forgotten! A great little part of the world and worthy a visit to explore and enjoy the day with family and friends.

Heroes 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-11-21 | I have been chasing birds for a few years now and of the most elusive birds I have struggled are the Bald Eagles and Roseate Spoon billed. Just so happens that two Bald Eagles are living nearby and perched across the street from my job site. Of course, during my lunch hour that I find myself capturing this beautiful beast of a bird. It's America's bird and means so much to me. A little short Tik Tok Reel or this day. I was using my Sony A7R5 camera with 200-600 mm lens.
Drive By Photography 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-11-14 | This is one of my favorite past time to do. I enjoy nature photography and you would be surprised what I can able to capture from my truck. you just have to know what to look for and observe in order to find that just right moment. Most of these were taken at Powell Creek Preserve in Ft Myers and in Cape Coral, Florida. I use a Sony A7R5 with a 200-600mm lens and I edited using Lightroom.
Powell Creek Preserve 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-11-05 | Since I have started this project in Ft Myers Beach, I have been visiting Powell Creek Preserve. It's a spectacular spot for birding (taking pictures of birds I know nothing about). Sunsets here are spectacular and the variety of wildlife in the midst of trailer parks is amazing. A great place to bike ride, walk, jog or just relax and appreciate the variety of birds that come here. Just a great place to visit while in the Ft. Myers area.
Sunrise Over Mantanzas Pass 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-11-01 | I cross the Mantanzas Bay bridge every week day morning and afternoons. Incredible sunrises can be seen here daily and I finally decided to stop and drone the pass this beautiful morning. I added a few local shots of progress post hurricane Ian. There are still subtle reminders of this devastating hurricane and the long term impact left behind by this storm of the century. Resilient community indeed....

I was killing time when I decided to drone the beach I enjoy every day while here. Some Pelicans, lots of beaches, high rises and beautiful sky made for a great drone video. Had fun flying the DJI Air 3. It's my work drone and its easy to launch, fly and takes amazing vides. The Egret in the end was taken using my Sony A7R5 with a 200-600mm Master lens. I love nature photography, almost as much as droning. Labor of love I suppose....
Visiting Capt Cons Boat Ramp 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-10-30 | I was driving around looking for a place to drone this sunset. I came across Bokeelia, Florida and Capt/ Con's Boat Ramp and Restaurant. This is a beautiful place. You can still see the devastating result of hurricane Ian but even with the damages, still remains a great destination visit and grubbery. I added a few clips from around the area, mostly birds of course.
Sunrise over Ft Myers Beach 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-10-24 | I was heading into the job site this morning and as I was crossing over the Matanzas pass bridge to Ft. Myers Beach, I noticed the amazing sky. So I parked, took to the air with my Mavic 3 Cine using an ND 4 filter and captured some amazing scene. I personally love silhouettes and try to keep that effect throughout the video. My emphasis are the clouds, sun breaking through and the colors resonating. Just me. The pelicans diving into the water just adds to the beauty. This is post hurricane Ian and suspect where I was parked was once some kind of public venue. there is parking spots everywhere and on weekends, full to the brim with beachgoers. Although this area took a direct hit from the hurricane, the resilience I so often see in places like this prevails. A beautiful place to visit and live....

Busy Mississippi River Near New Orleans Bumble Bee Productions 2023-09-05 | There is something about the busy Mississippi River along the banks of New Orleans that is always interesting to sit and enjoy.

Then to discover there was a lighthouse too? I was in lighthouse heaven. Love lighthouses and always try to drone as many lighthouses as possible before croaking. A little Wiki on the lighthouse:The Cape Florida Light is a lighthouse on Cape Florida at the south end of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Constructed in 1825, it guided mariners off the Florida Reef, which starts near Key Biscayne and extends southward a few miles offshore of the Florida Keys.

One Miami Night 4K Bumble Bee Productions 2023-08-01 | What can I say about my impulsive road trip to Miami? a 3 hour drive, give or take and a lot of footage to do something with. So I created, "One Miami Night". I was only able to capture two main locations and yes, I do plan of going back more to find true points of interest in Miami. Any suggestions, let me know. Energy! Pure energy is how I describe the area. The people are festive, music everywhere, lights everywhere and a lot of traffic to say the least. Once you are at your destination though, it's all fun. That's the other thing, hard Rock Stadium, Hard Rock hotel, Hard Rock casino, Hard Rock marina and restaurant and so on and so on. Hard Rock presence is strong in the Dade County area for sure. I did not have the opportunity to east a a true Cuban restaurant but I will be back..... Oh yes I will be back...
