Just as a curiosity, how high were you flying? Were you using a wide angle lens? I have a commercial drone certification and was planning on heading over that way, but I'm limited to 400 feet. Not sure that my wide angle will cover as much territory as you have.

All of the pictures were taken using an old Canon T2i with the standard EFS 18-55mm lens. I maintain 1,000 above populated areas and maybe a little less above parts of Fenney with no people or structures below me. If I drop this old camera, no big loss.

I would enjoy seeing your drone pictures of Fenney taken from a lower altitude. I flew $1,000 RC drones back in Ohio as a Horizon Hobby dealer and enjoyed taking pictures from them.

What is the secure area you referenced? Love the pictures. Thanks.

Most prisoners are sentenced for drug-related crimes. Prisoners are male with the exception of those in the female work camp. The prisoners on average have sentences of 10 years.

The complex consists of four facilities:

Federal Correctional Institution, Coleman Low (FCI Coleman Low): a low-security facility.
Federal Correctional Institution, Coleman Medium (FCI Coleman Medium): a medium-security facility with an adjacent satellite prison camp for minimum-security inmates.
United States Penitentiary I, Coleman (USP Coleman I): a high-security facility.
United States Penitentiary II, Coleman (USP Coleman II): a high-security facility.

This would be the secure area through the woods to the South of some parts of Fenney and I don't fly low over that area.

Perfect. Thank you

Great photos. Thanks for sharing with us.

If I'm correct.....you took this almost directly over Pinellas Plaza.
Top right and out of the pic would be Eisenhower Rec Center. The big lake in the center is Lake Deaton.
So its a picture of....Collier, Pinellas, and lots of other Villages.
Great shots, especially the more recent ones.
What will the Fenney Island be ? Looks like the making of a pitch and putt.
Thanks

The photo's are fantastic. I'm having a bit of difficulty orienting myself on some of them though. If possible, could you put a simple direction indicator on each of them or anything that would give a clue of N, S, E, or W. If not I certainly understand but they are so interesting I wish I could orient myself on some of them. Especially the one with the security facilities. Can you tell us where that is, (generally speaking).
Thanks again for all you do.
