Flying Through Fireworks
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—8/4/2014—You’ve probably seen many fireworks displays from the ground looking up. However, you have probably not had the opportunity to view fireworks from within, up close and personal . . . until now.
In case you missed my last post in this space, it was titled “National Geographic Excellence” (and is worth a moment of time spent pleasurably to experience).
This week’s video offering was sent to me by Kris Abbott. The footage was shot using an HD camera on board a remote-controlled drone flown directly into a fireworks display Amazingly, the drone survived the concussions and flying sparks, and the resulting video is just exceptionally cool.
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
