For Recreational and Commercial (Part 107) drone pilots please be aware of the upcoming drone flight restrictions during the World Cup.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be issuing Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for each match.

These TFRs will create No Drone Zones around each of the match venues and fan festival sites.

Let's all do our part for the drone community by flying responsibly and check the FAA TFRs before your flights.

NASA recently released a collection of stunning wallpaper backgrounds featuring photos from the Artemis II mission.

Even more inspiring is the work of the Artemis crew and the entire NASA staff. Their professionalism and dedication reminds us that there are many incredible people doing amazing work in the world today.

My goal with the blog is to post about photography and videography topics that I'm interested in and may be informative and helpful to others.

The Photo Essay - Images that Tell a Story The classic photo essay is a form of storytelling. It presents a narrative through a series of photographs. It can evoke emotions and convey messages by showcasing a subject or theme through carefully created and curated photographs.
