The quarterly of the patient aerial
The Blue Hour Issue

Cover story: Clear water in March →

Drones and aerial. How the shot was made: the settings, the flight, the rules of the air. A made-up magazine; every story in it is one of Christian's Field Notes.

In this issue

  1. 01How I Got the ShotClear water in MarchA short March morning on the Skunk Harbor trail at Lake Tahoe: Christian rode down to the shore and back up with Marley along, and spent most of two hours flying a drone over clear water, snowy granite and the posts of an old dock while Marley went swimming.
  2. 02How I Got the ShotOahu from aboveA feature rather than a usual Note: a collage of Christian's favorite drone footage from his years living on Oahu, from the Mokes and Lanikai on the east side to manta rays off the North Shore, with a little about the island.
  3. 03How I Got the ShotAbove IrelandA montage of footage gathered over the years in Ireland, where Christian lived for nine years: drone flights over the turquoise coast near Ards Friary, the hills and cliffs of Donegal, Grianán of Aileach and Kerry, plus iPhone clips of the puffins on Skellig Michael and of the fort on a recent trip back, after drones were banned there.
