This is a quick video of a flight after some fresh snow in Castlewood Canyon State Park south of Denver, which was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. This is the first video I've posted using my new GoPro3 White Edition. It's taken me forever to figure out the right settings for color correction, since the raw video from this camera is normally flat and lacking in contrast. I think I finally got it right, though the flat lighting and the sun shining through the clouds confusing the GoPro's light meter didn't help.
This canyon is a real challenge to fly and get smooth video, since the slightest wind is amplified by the canyon walls producing a lot of turbulence. My Deep Reaper can handle it better than my old Hawk Sky, but it's still a little bumpy. It was also fun to fly as low through the canyon as possible without blocking LOS with an intervening hill.
Enjoy!
