It's a sad story, but will hopefully have a happy ending.
Hello Friends,
I'll be straight with you - I'm not raising money for a new lung, financing an orphanage or trying to feed a hundred hungry pound puppies.
Worthy causes they would be, but I'm here to fund a new drone for aerial photography - a DJI Phantom 3 to be precise.
It's a sad story, but will hopefully have a happy ending. About a month ago, I was flying my beloved drone over Pittwater and it didn't come back.

Something went wrong, an in-flight anomaly, my drone flew away never to be seen again. It was fitted with my GoPro camera and obviously that went too. So no photos, no drone, and a very unhappy photographer.
Why did it fly away? I'm pretty sure I have found the answer after hours trolling drone forums. The drone, a Phantom 2, didn't have FPV (that is First Person View, an 8-inch screen that lets you see where the drone is at all times).
The latest model features an updated tracker plus extremely beneficial FPV via tablet or smartphone.
Who Am I?
My name's Nat Bromhead and I've been a mad-keen photographer as long as I can remember.
A former newspaper photographer, I have won a number of awards and over the years honed my skills to a professional level. I simply love taking photos - always have and always will. My drowned drone took my photography (literally) to another level.
Want to see some photos? I have an active FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM accounts that can be seen here or by simply searching Pittwater Photography.
There's also a gallery attached to this campaign.

What's In It For You?
Pictures - big, blown up aerial and scenic images of Pittwater.
My pitch is this. If you pledge to pre-purchase from a range of stunning images I will be able to fund my new drone!
There are a number of different sized images and funding options to the right.
I'd recommend the acrylic wall mount prints - they look absolutely stunning, especially of scenes such as the high-resolution version of this Pittwater sunrise!
Please note some of the pictures you see here are watermarked. The images you order ARE NOT watermarked.
