Second video - let me know which y'all think is the best and if you're sick of my erratic flying and/or any other suggestions. I am not adding music, though.

They’re both great, but I do prefer this 2nd one because you show the rest of Rainey and a quick bit of the full skyline as well. Always nice to come out wide in some of these videos to see the scope around the building too. I also prefer in general when the shots spend a few moments slowly moving around the building so we have the time to really study it and take it in.

These drone updates are always appreciated here. Well done.

Great updates today, gillynova!

I agree with Randall on coming out wide so we can see the entire scope and then bring the drone closer to get some details. As well as "slowly moving around the building so we have the time to really study it and take it in. "

Thank you for the input. I'll make sure to slow down and carefully capture the structure, including its angles and how it fits into the skyline. Currently, I tend to fly at a fast pace, but I'll adjust for a more thorough observation.

Thank you so much. I think we all really look forward to your videos.

Great photos! Thank you. Can you share any tips/best practices on posting photos to this forum? Sizes?

You're welcome!

I upload on Imgur through my phone. Then on my computer/laptop I click on my account profile and go to "images". I pick "Huge Thumbnail" and copy the BBCode link

I usually prepare by putting each link in a notepad and when I'm ready I copy and paste all the Img links in the correct thread

Thanks very much for that Gillynova. Have not used Imgur before so I'll give it a shot (pun intended).

If it’s a huge photo put the letter L just before .jpg to make it smaller for us that don’t have 30” monitors.

Waterline — “The Tallest Tower in Texas”

Amazing! Austin sure knows how to behave like a big vibrant city, and its population is going to be in the multi-millions in years to come.

Technically, it already is...

Austin's MSA crossed the 2 million mark in 2015. It will cross the 2.6 million mark in the first half of 2024. It is expected to cross the 3 million mark around 2030.

I was looking further ahead.

These predictions might seem a little wild but maybe not too far off if the level of growth continues in the younger cities.

What I really doubt is Phoenix being 22 million by 2100. I live there now and the heat is a big detractor from QOL. Our summers have become increasingly unbearable. I can't fathom how bad the heat will be in 80 more years.
