April 2026 - Love Sign

About the Image(s)

There is a large LOVE sign in downtown Milwaukee. Two years ago in February I was there on Valentine's Day shooting video. It was my first foray into filming video with my drone. The famed Milwaukee Art Museum had recently installed new colored lights and it was brightly lit in pink for the holiday. In this video, I filmed moving from the LOVE sign out to show the entire skyline. It is a little jerky and I really need to practice more, but I haven't gotten back down there to shoot it again. But I plan to reshoot this sign again this summer.

But this made a great Valentine's holiday video! It went well with the Michael Bubl?© song L.O.V.E.as it was zooming out.

Hi Drema, I really like this image. I love the reflections and I think that the light area on the right really balances out the image. To my eye the exposure is perfect. The details in the bricks is also a plus. I watched your video and I think withdrawing and perspective are very well done.   Posted: 04/04/2026 15:25:34

Thanks, Lou. I need to learn to pan and zoom more smoothly.

I attached the Michael Buble song L.O.V.E. to it when I posted to Instagram, but they wouldn't let me attach it on YouTube.

It is the perfect song to match the zooming out on this video!   Posted: 04/04/2026 16:12:08

Nice video with a creative reveal of the Milwaukee Skyline. Slight irregular movement with the joy sticks is difficult control, some software apps can help smooth this out in post as well as advanced adjustments with the controller.   Posted: 04/08/2026 01:14:49
