    Morro Bay was fogged in on Monday so I headed North on Hwy 1 until things cleared up.

    This was the view from my DJI Air 2S.

    The video quality is good and it's nice seeing something different from
    the usual Morro bay.

    There are no trees in the area. Is it because it's a dry area (not
    enough rain)?

    I thought it was time to give you something different. ;-)

    That part of the coast shows a vegetation, and terrain change with rolling hills, and some areas with quite dense California Live Oak, not so much at that particular spot. Further North on that same Hwy 1 (PCH, or Pacific Coast Highway) you get to the
    Southern limit of the Coastal Redwood trees. In Northern California those are the giant trees found in the Redwood National Forest.

    As far as lack of rain, we are going through continuing drought conditions, more so inland where I live where it is really dry. Down at the coast they benefit some from the the moisture brought by the fog, and coastal marine layer.

    Thanks, Mr Duck. A very pleasant change, and brings back fond memories of doing the PCH northbound with my sons many years ago. Lots of delightful unridden waves coming in.

    OT: When we got to Half Moon Bay, we had a family meeting to decide if we stayed in SFO for 4 days or go to Yosemite. Yosemite won 3-nil. :-)

    Hwy1 from Morro Bay through to Carmel/Monterey is one of my regular quick getaway escapes.

    OT: When we got to Half Moon Bay, we had a family meeting to decide if we stayed in SFO for 4 days or go to Yosemite. Yosemite won 3-nil. :-)

    Good decision! Yosemite wins over SFO every time for me.

    I did notice the lack of trees. In the UK we're having a tentative stab at rewilding in a few places - keeping people and other non-native (whatever that means nowadays, but in the main sheep/cows) animals away tends to allow trees to thrive again.

    Yes good quality and it seemed better as it opened up almost full window size rather than the smaller 1/8 size of past vids.
    No idea why maybe something changed somewhere between smugmug and UK .
    or maybe my recent update to high sierra did it.

    Watched it full screen and seemed very good.
    Around the 3:00 +/- 3 secs there was a slight step up in exposure or brightnesss or something I noticed. perhaps cloud cover.
    I know you can't go too high but I wonder if you could go through mist/fog transversing above and below , that would be an interesting movie.
    I've noticed in the UK when there's mist/fog my stationary webcam at night makes it look like a blizzard is blowing outside
    the way the IR appears to reflect off the mist. I'll try getting a movie snap of it next time.

    No idea why maybe something changed somewhere between smugmug and UK .
    or maybe my recent update to high sierra did it.

    Who knows? The big problem with SmugMug is their limit to 3 GB file
    size, and down rendering to 1080p from the original 4K, or 5.4K.

    Watched it full screen and seemed very good.

    Full screen does deliver the best experience.

    Around the 3:00 +/- 3 secs there was a slight step up in exposure or brightnesss or something I noticed. perhaps cloud cover.

    Aah! You noticed. I goofed, I started shooting at 4K 30fps, but at
    1/120s because on an earlier flight I was at 4K 60fps. I only noticed
    at that point in recording, and adjusted the shutter speed to 1/60s.
    That was the shift you saw.

    I know you can't go too high but I wonder if you could go through
    mist/fog transversing above and below , that would be an interesting
    movie.

    The legal limit is 400 ft AGL, and then there is the issue of losing
    line of sight in fog/mist, but certainly interesting.

    I've noticed in the UK when there's mist/fog my stationary webcam at
    night makes it look like a blizzard is blowing outside
    the way the IR appears to reflect off the mist. I'll try getting a
    movie snap of it next time.

    Worth a try.

    Just don't go overboard like the stupid English did with reforestation where they converted scrub-land to forest and almost wiped out the ground-dwelling bird populations in some parts.
