Nicola, aka the 'Spirit of Lax Kw'alaams', arriving at its Prince Rupert terminal, Aero Point, at end of its run from the north end of Tuck Inlet - 24 March 2019
It is almost impossible to get unobstructed views of this vessel arriving or departing at this location. It is as if they took MARSEC to a whole new level at this terminal. Next time I will bring a canoe ...

Maybe, it is time for a drone! |

Maybe, it is time for a drone! I think that flying a drone over a ferry terminal just might get you in trouble. Drones are a neat tool but there are some places where their use may be inappropriate, maybe even illegal. |

Drones are a neat tool but there are some places where their use may be inappropriate, maybe even illegal. This is a good opportunity for us to note rules for Drones going forward. In this case, it’s likely that the 5.6 km no-fly zone around any airport would interfere with images of the Nicola or at Fairview. Additionally note that as of June 1st, anyone flying a drone will need to be licensed, with their drone registered. |

I prefer the "feet planted on earth" challenge of finding a good angle, and the reality of those earthly constraints. - Of course, I'm not a professional photographer being paid to get clean shots of a subject, so I can tolerate some imperfection. |

Nicola (aka the Spirit of Lax Kw'alaams) nears its Prince Rupert terminal @ Aero Point, at end of its run from the north end of Tuck Inlet - 24 July 2019.
No drone for this photo; its taken from over at the nearby float plane base. Unfortunately you can not see the terminal and you need a good tele lens to get close enough. It would have been better if I had my 100-400 lens ...
Note to moderators: Could we change the title of this thread to include the vessel's unofficial moniker, Spirit of Lax Kw'alaams?
