"Droning" the construction progress of the TPLEX

Here's how the construction progress of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX ) looks in the first golden light of the morning - taken from an altitude of 185.30 m ASL at 6:38 am today March 30th over Camp I, Rosario.

The lower road leading to the bridge in the upper left corner is the Manila North Road (MNR), while the upper road (still an embankment at this stage) is the TPLEX. The large rectangular roofs in the lower right corner are the Caltex and Petron gas stations.

I've to split the 180-degree panorama into two for easier viewing.... here's the other half in the northwest direction. Embankment works are still ongoing near the terminus. If one looks closely, the signage of Jollibee and McDonald's are visible near the upper right corner.

Trying drone photography for the first time

I got hold of a DJI Mavic Air recently, and I've started learning how to fly it safely and take images while it's high up in the air. Here's a few of my early attempts, all shot in RAW (DNG).
