Lancaster Buggy At Sunset (Drone Video)

ByErik Wesner July 28, 2020November 29, 2020

Following the peach harvest video, here’s another from the 717 Drone Guys. I have expressed mixed feelings about drones in the past, but I have to say this outfit makes some really nice clips.

In this one they necessarily get the drone up a lot higher in the air. We follow a buggy down the road a little while as the sun goes down. The view soars over some Amish farms, and at one we even see a group playing volleyball.

A nice tune accompanies the golden images. Enjoy.

I’ll have a post sharing some favorite images from the trip coming soon. I also recorded a short video from inside the buggy of a teenage son of one of my friends. It…

Apologies to anyone who came looking for Friday’s post, which didn’t make it up in the hurry. We’ll have some more from last week coming up. I also…

After yesterday’s look into the future, a glance at the past. These images of Lancaster County were adapted from 35mm slides, courtesy of Russ Glasson. Hex signs, as seen above, are commonly associated with Pennsylvania Dutch culture, though you won’t find them on Amish barns. These were apparently all taken in 1963. How different Lancaster County must have looked then. The county’s population has nearly…

I’m no pro when it comes to photos. In fact, I’m a big believer in the volume school of photography. Maybe you know it? It’s only become possible thanks to digital cameras. Volume school photographers know that the more photos you take, the higher the chances a few will come out alright. So I try to snap a bunch. Of course, it helps if you…
