There are now substantial environments in Toronto that, when I joined this forum, would have only existed in New York.

While shooting photos of The Butterfly, I shot some video too. Hopefully, it'll give a better sense of how it fits into its surroundings.

Nice vid, what drone are you using? I picked up a Holy Stone GPS Drone with 4K Camera but haven't taken it out yet.

[giallo]

I'm using a DJI Mini 2 right now. I'd definitely like to upgrade to the Mini 3 Pro at some point.

Very cool footage and a great perspective of the city overall.

It even makes me appreciate the winter grey vibe.

Hopefully I'll get mine out soon.

Thanks, dreambrother808.

It takes a bit to feel comfortable flying a drone around dense downtowns, but once you get used to it, it's such an awesome little tool.

I can't wait to see what you capture.

Great video giallo... liking the 'Butterfly" in flight (from above) most of all.

Thanks, I'll probably start practicing this weekend if the weather cooperates down at the Cherry Beach where it's empty this time of year.

Not beautiful, but turning out better than most other Empire projects (faint praise ;-).

I finally got around to the Oakridge site today. It's moving quickly.

[Maldive]

Wowser.... is that 50% of the crane rentals in metro Van?

[WhipperSnapper]

Unlikely but, possible 50% of the cranes in Vancouver city.

Starting to look like somethin'. Very not Vancouver. Will the brown building with above grade parking on the corner be replaced?

[GeneralLea]

That's one hell of a construction site. Holy cow.
