This week I interview my frequent contributor and listener Richard Lycett about his photography work and sailing adventures Richard Lycett is a photographer his website is http://www.richardlycettphotography.co.uk/ Here is a recent video he produced. https://youtu.be/UDgUReGH6jg Richard also shared some tips of Drone Photography with me in a letter: "One of you’d listeners reached out to me and asked about drone tips. Maybe you could add this to the show notes? A small drone is always best as space is a premium on a boat so I highly recommend the DJI Mavic Pro (even the original one is very good). Catching is always the hardest bit, and although I haven’t done this, fixing up some sort of rod underneath to grab it by is recommended. SV Delos rigged one up and I thought they were going to make a commercial product but I’ve just checked their store and there’s nothing there. Tips for flying and not pickling it: Turn off all sensors. Sounds odd but you’ll never get it close enough to the boat or catch it unless you do. Launch off the stern as it keeps a gps lock, and if you’re moving forwards, it’s going to fly backwards. Catching. You can catch at the stern but the Bimini can get in the way. I prefer to catch on the foredeck by the Genoa. Practice this on land, and then at dock, before trying at sea."   Want me to go sailing with you? Then contact me!
