tonyfsu21 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Some shots from this am. I wanted to check out our loft location for next month in real time. I waved “hi” to the captain before I flew home! Please refrain from beating a very dead horse with the legality questions pertaining to this flight path. It is NOT a restricted area (its very very close to a couple restricted areas like FLL and PE power plant but not close enough).

JLMoran Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Looks like you have a nice view of the golf course as well as down into the Central Park area. Hopefully won't get too noisy with late-night putt-putters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhageerah Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Great shots! Thank you for sharing! Have not been on Allure yet but I am definitely looking forward to it!! tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjac Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 We were on the Allure on April 1st. Had our daughter and her family with us on the observation deck on 14 as we were heading out of FLL. Didn't realize but there was a drone right above us flying around and the ship. It seemed to come to hover as we all were waving at it, the grand kids thought was part of the cruise!. Once we got close to the condos on the port side of the ship, the drone headed back to home base. I was surprised the drone operator could control it with all that wind! That's an expensive hobby if it hits the water! tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take off from my house in the harbor inlet neighborhood which is that row of homes to the North as your leaving port and always see that same drone flying the same flight path.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Love looking at your drone shots @tonyfsu21! Nice to see you got that upgrade to the CLS. It's cool to see that you got such a clear view of the balconies on Deck 17. Going to ask for a favour here...if you happen to fly your drone around Harmony again, can you check out the balcony on 1722? Just curious as to what type of furniture we can expect out there next cruise? tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next Saturday I am taking the boat out to the ocean for the Fort Lauderdale Airshow but I am bringing the drone so I may be able to get a shot as she’s leaving port.

Very interesting, that may be why it hovered over us when we were waving at it. BY the way, that close to the port, doesn't it get noisy with all the cruise ships blasting their horns when the are coming and going?

You can’t hear a bird chirp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyman55 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Where'd all the lifeboats go? Only three on the davits and two in the water. In 9730 on the Allure on Sept 2. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Great photos! I noticed the black bars on either side of the photos. Are you not shooting these in landscape mode? Or is there some other restriction associated with the camera your drone has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are shot in landscape mode and look great on my phone but they upload in portrait for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Reason I ask is I'd love to feature some of your photos on the blog but landscape is definitely preferred. It's simple enough to rotate the photos in Photoshop, but I was just curious as to why the black bars. Odd that they get the black bars on upload.

Jason.H. Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I really like the square photo look. Most new camera's (Nikon d850 and newer iphones at least) offer a 1:1 square image option. A lot of great historic photos by people like Ansel Adams were shot in square format as well. But it is wierd that its adding the black bars to the sides.
