Complete Sunrise Skegness 4K *no Adds*



Here is a Complete Sunrise from before to its beautiful emerging of golden light.

Take my word for it right now, Seeing this with your real eyes beats any video or photo any day of the week.

I have made this for all those people who can't get out to see it and for the people who simply want to chill out to it.

If you have seen the real thing in Skegness, Then you may have noticed there is normally an optical Illusion where the sun appears to be in front of the wind turbines.

The 2 people walking by the video, I got permission to film them the day before this recording.

Every morning they go for a swim in the sea, Apparently it is Their daily routine.

I am yet to film them using my drone.

so please follow my blog and I will put together a Video Interview with them in the very near future.

so see it first here

One Man and his Dog spends Easter clearing up in Lincoln and Skegness







On Saturday I was in Lincoln town center after spending Easter with family.
I was just sitting outside Wilkos by the river waiting for my family members who went inside, when suddenly walking towards me was Paul and his dog Dave, We were both very surprised to cross paths like that.

I decided to head back to Skegness on the bus with him, And he told me he had been the up steep hill to the top and then Lincoln Cathedral.

Armed with his grabber, he cleared up what ever grabbed his attention and enjoyed looking at the architecture and statue a man and his dog.


So we both headed back to skegness on same bus.

We made arrangements to meet up on Bank Holiday Monday at the Wetherspoon pub to grab a Coffee to start with a caffeine kick..

On this Monday morning I left my home to try grab the 56a across from 12 oars pub to Skegness in the hope that I could get to the pub without leaving paul waiting.

But little did I know, Paul was also having a little delay issue himself.

He had been side tracked by a stroll to the Church farm museum that lead him to this lost and un-aware situation.

I was standing at bus stop opposite the Shops on Burgh Road when suddenly I saw Paul and Dave walking by the Twelve Oars pub.

we were both delayed, but at least now we can walk to wetherspoons together,  as walking to town with someone is safer for me due to my petite mal epilepsy attacks I have been having.

So we got to the pub and sat outside whilst I went to get us both Flat white coffees.
I got help to carry out to table because of my walking aids being a bit of a bother.

Then half way through the mug someone came out from the pub and said we go to leave the pub grounds and we can not get any refills for breaking the rules. as we do not allow dogs unless they are assistant dogs.

I said we are right out here on the street, but even that wasn't allowed, so Paul chained Dave to the railings by the road,  Then he walked in the pub and asked if his dog is at the fence.
Paul wanted a peaceful result that didn't cause too much drama.


The sign showed "No dog allowed inside apart from Assistance Dogs".
And It seemed to me, that both Paul and Dave are Assistance's to each other and may need help to get validation for them both in future.
Dave helps Paul keep his emotions in check.



We then headed to the south end of Skegness beach to plan a safe place to launch my drone that pose any risks to people or nature.



There were people flying kites and the cold Nordic winds were blowing in land, so I decided to launch the drone over the sea out the risk of people and kite strings.

I am collecting footage to make a Documentary with Paul, This will take longer for me to produce, because I need to record interviews with friends of Paul and himself, including voice overs and commentary too.




On the following image
Paul gets an helping hand from 2 beach users who both rush over to pass over some trash for disposal.






Paul has a very creative and innovative side to him, that other people rarely get to know unless they be like minded and strike an understanding and trust. here is a sample of something he made using feathers and broken decaying shells to surround his artistic talents.

He has a very smooth drawing hand and has a unique style that is his own.




Paul is just like me, creative wise, if we were to part with our arts, we need to know that the new owners to really appreciate and understand what our art is about and the story that goes with them.

These images below are an example of my creative passions and my crafty side.


If anyone is willing to be added to the video to let the hearts really show how much they are proud of having Paul saving the people from having a Rubbish Holiday.
Then please get in touch.

If anyone can offer me an aqua workout opportunity in a pool or large bath to help me to try and get myself walking again then I am up for it. My left foot that hasn't moved for 11 years due to a bad accident on the way to start a new job, all the ideas to restore my foot were with Doctor Layfield who sadly committed suicide many years ago.

I need help to become more able again so I can be more productive.
Blogging is just a small part of huge ambitious mind, inventor and writer of poetry songs and stories.
All I want to do is share with the world.

drone flying laws simplified

All the information on this post is from https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/uk-drone-laws-2019-3146402 

I have added this information because its the most clear to understand that i have found

UK Drone Laws: The latest news and events in 2019

The government ran a public consultation on a batch of new proposals from July 6 2018 to September 17 2018, which attracted 5061 responses. It revealed the outcome of consultation on January 7 2019, and there are some significant UK drone law updates to be aware of if you wish to avoid fines and potential prison sentences.
Considering the disruption caused by drones at Gatwick and Heathrow airports over recent weeks, it’s no surprise that the government has decided to extend the area around airports and runways in which drones are banned from being flown.
It will be illegal to fly a drone within 5km of an airport, up from 1km.









Furthermore, the government says: “The new restriction zone will include rectangular extensions from the end of runways measuring 5km long by 1km wide to better protect take-off and landing paths.”
From November 30 2019, drone operators will have to register their device with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and take an online safety test. Anyone who fails to register or sit the competency tests could face fines of up to £1000.
Police are also going to be given extra powers. Officers will be able to “enter and/or search premises, with a warrant, where there is reasonable suspicion that there is a drone and/or its associated components which the police reasonably suspects of having been involved in the commission of an offence”.
They’ll also be able to issue fixed penalty notices (FPN) up to £100 for minor drone-related offences, “as a way to immediately and effectively enforce as a deterrent to offenders and to reduce pressure on Magistrates’ Courts”.
A drone user could be slapped with an FPN for committing any of the following offences:
  • Not producing registration documentation, and/or proof of registration for drones between 250g and up to and including 20kg in mass, at the request of a police constable
  • Not producing evidence of any other relevant permissions required by legislation, for example if you are a commercial drone operator or have an exemption from the CAA from an ANO 2016 article
  • Not complying with a police officer when instructed to land a drone
  • Flying a drone without a valid acknowledgement of competency, or failure to provide evidence of meeting this competency requirement when requested
We’ve also known for some time that the government is pushing for work on geofencing technology to be brought forward. The tech is built into the drones themselves and uses GPS coordinates to stop the devices from entering specific zones, such as prison or airport airspace.
“The Home Office will also begin to test and evaluate the safe use of a range of counter-drone technology in the UK,” is the government’s official line at present.
“This crucial technology will detect drones from flying around sensitive sites, including airports and prisons, and develop a range of options to respond to drones, helping to prevent a repeat of incidents such as that recently experienced at Gatwick.”

UK Drone Laws: What’s coming next?

As mentioned above, UK drone laws have been subject to regular changes and, though it isn’t yet clear when the new legislation will come into force, plenty more changes could be made in the near future.
It was only as recently as 30 July 2018, that the government made it illegal to fly a drone above 400ft or within 1km of airport boundaries. While the former remains in place, the latter has already been deemed insufficient.
Anyone who flouts that 400ft rule could be charged with “recklessly or negligently acting in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft or any person in an aircraft”, and face a fine of up to £2500 or up to five years in prison.
So what steps might the government take next?
It says it still “supports a minimum operator age [of 18], but will defer a decision until there is clarification and confirmation from EASA regarding future legislation at the European level with regards minimum ages for drone operators and remote pilots.”
It’s also possible that drone users will one day be required to use a FINS − which would likely take the form of an app − to notify authorities and other drone users that they’re going to fly a UAV at a particular location at a given time ahead of time. Users may also have to pay for FINS access.
“The aim of this proposed policy is to increase drone user accountability, to ensure a flight can be made safely, without compromising the security or privacy of others. The real-time data and records made by a FINS could also be useful for enforcement,” last year’s public consultation explained.
The DfT says that drone operators will also eventually have to use apps that ensure they always have access to safety guidance, though it isn’t yet clear how it plans to enforce this rule.


Where can and can’t I fly my drone in the UK right now?



You need to register with the CAA if you’re planning to use your drone for “commercial purposes” – this may sound like it doesn’t apply to you, but it extends to things like monetising your YouTube channel or personal blog, however meagerly.

According to the DfT, the number of active commercial licences increased from 2500 to 3800 in 2017, a year on year growth of 52%. In other words, flying your new drone isn’t quite as straightforward as you might think, especially if you live in an urban area or near an airport.

Drone Law fears Scare People from a Beautiful Hobby



The new year has sparked fears of taking a hobby of flying drones for fun or sport.
To me a flying drone is an extension from a walking disability to being able to get side way scrolling and smooth video footage anywhere.
I use a Bebop 2, it is a lower budget drone than the others out there but to me its all about the mind behind the angles, lights and shadows and paying attention to natural motion and timing.
When I record videos its not really the high altitudes that is my main interest its the smooth video quality that would sure be messed up with my shaky hands and my need for walking aids.
about 8 years ago I had multiple accidents that has left me unable to move my left foot that is still too weak to lumps and slanted ground that cause foot to flip inwards on top a lower degenerative spinal disc that is too risky to operate and popping right knee.

My YouTube videos for all them years were mainly stop motion and animation and crafty videos, just close up made footage.

But for years my imagination has been thinking of nice video angles that i could never get until the camcorder opened me up to my true realization of this beautiful hobby.

My videos have been said to be so relaxing to my viewers and very inspiring too.

I live at the coast and i have been filming winter sun on the beaches in Lincolnshire to open peoples eyes that we need more videos like this, Its so great for our moods and helps me from my depression around my mobility.
Its so soothing and calming to watch.

After a drone user flown into an airport in England they have decided on new laws of using drones.
I have now lost count on the amount of people wanting do what I do that one of them ordered a drone online and then sent it back for refund due to worry.

Image the loss in trade revenue from Businesses all over UK because of this.

Since last week end I have made 3 videos showing a time in England when the rest of the country was deep in snow and people were enjoying the quiet winter sunny walk along the beach.

I agree that filming with a drone needs common sense with 100% care of all people and nature around you.
It should not be used to film private property or invade the privacy of others.

Normally I greet everyone so that I can let them know what i am doing so they don't get spooked or surprised and mostly they simply get inspired when they see my videos.

A lot of pre-thinking in advance goes on in my mind. Then all my scenes are cut from the footage before arranged in the order as I visioned it to be. Then I have a video of art that inspires others. The drone is a flying Camera before its a drone (to me). its a mobility beyond my abilities that I simply have taken advantage of.

Maybe creative commons or some something could be arranged for a Creative Drone Authorization license could be created.

I made my videos in an aid to show a respectable way to use a drone in the hope we get to keep rights for the use as i show.

Snowless Skegness Beach drone flight

Ok where is the snow?
Many days of clear blue skies.
So I decided to ignore the weather forecast saying we would be having snow.
Maybe that snow had fallen from the sky before it reached us.

Many people have gone into a panic since report of drone flights near airports.
Retired people or nature lovers who simply want to see the world from a beautiful perspective are in fear of getting in trouble flying a drone.

As I was flying this Bebop 2 over the beach experimenting with filming angles and views a Gentleman approached me and told me he had brought a drone online but as soon as he heard about the Airport reports on the news, he sent it back for refund in fear.

After I showed him that I only use the drone for filming nature, and all the time I respect the privacy of all people and definitely I never plan to fly near airports.

Common sense and the right time and locations that are not invading air space and private property is what it really is about.
So it’s not to disrupt any of the public at all.
I live at the coast, so there is plenty of open spaces to film.

Before I fly, I make sure there isn’t any risk to people or any birds or animals.
And whilst I am flying I always greet people who walk by just so they know what I am doing to help them not to be spooked by the sound.

Here is my 1st video

Drone operators are the future of jobs

Future of Jobs that could be a demand in thr future would be a Drone operator.
But with the immense price tag set in Germany for their Microdrone it could take a while.
We need to take in mind that we would need to training staff to operate them, then we add on
insurance costs, it becomes a scarey venture.
Imagine the events and carnivals that could be filmed and the services that operators could offer.
I am sure if the company did create flying drones for the open public in a way that could assure life time services and insurance rates to help new companies to start to have a chance to evolve.
Maybe if the drone makers were to take a life time of loyalty payments that would ensure results to both parties.
Next year when 4G takes over using our old RF signal to give wire free broadband everywhere.
The way we can transmit video data will give us so much control, And suddenly this will give the demand of drone operators a place in the job world.
