Successive Approximations
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2023
This is kind of a channel for experimentation's in many things. Computers, technology, motorcycles, drones, and pretty much everything that interests me. Over my lifetime, I've done many different things, had several occupations, and my curiosity about what makes things work never seems to end. I don't intend to monetize this channel, as it's mostly for my education.
The name, Successive Approximations comes from a dear friend, my college professor. It simply means 'trial and error. :-) Please bear with me as I learn how to make and edit videos using my drone, a Mavic M3, and my GoPro Hero 10, and my Insta 360 cameras. I apologize for the lower video quality, I'm on a DSL internet connection, which has very low upload capabilities. One day a high speed internet option will be available here in the mountains, but until then, I'm stuck with the DSL. FYI, for video editing, I'm using Filmora Wondershare. Thanks for watching my videos, I'd appreciate your comments!

Texas Creek, Colorado, Sept 2024
I put this video together of a ride in Texas Creek with my friends, Steve and Bill. It was a very rocky ride, but the scenery was awesome. I was slowed down a lot because of a rafting injury to my shifting foot in June, but it didn't completely stop me!

Alpine Loop; Cinnamon Pass in Colorado
มุมมอง 4712 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Just a quick 5 minute ride coming from Cinnamon Pass to Lake City, Colorado in early October 2024. Just beautiful scenery at that time of year, we camped out a couple of days, and had a great time. Steve was on his Beta 390, Aku was on his Yamaha YZ250FX, Jackson was on his e-bike, and I was on my Yamaha WR450. My left foot , the shifting foot, was still healing from a rafting accident I had in...

Please bear with me, I'm trying to figure out how best to upload these videos on my DSL connection. My most recent video took 3 hours to upload for a 5 minute video! I may have to get Starlink, but, it's expensive.

A quick ride around half of the lake here, early October was beautiful, the leaves were changing, and the summer tourists were gone.

Here's a short video of my buddy Aku, on my Yamaha YZ250. He rode from where we were camped near Lake City, I'm sure he had a great time. I had a foot injury from a rafting accident, conveniently on my shifting foot, which dampened my riding, but I had fun with short rides regardless. Lots more Alpine Loop videos to come!

A fast flight over the freezing cold Arkansas River just outside of Cotopaxi, Colorado. Please bear with me, as I learn how to edit my videos, one day, I'll be good at it. The music is AI generated from the Filmora Wondershare software I use, how is it? Please leave comments and suggestions, I appreciate them :-)
Skyline Drive in Canon City
มุมมอง 885 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video was taken in July 2024, of Skyline Drive just outside of Canon City, Colorado. This narrow, one way, 2.6 mile road was built in 1905 by about 30 prisoners from the State Territorial Prison nearby. It makes you wonder what life for them was like back then, who they were, what crimes they committed, etc. If you're deathly afraid of heights, don't go there, because there's a very steep ...

This is drone footage above the Arkansas River on Hwy 50 between Canon City, and Cotopaxi, Colorado. They say the river is the highest it's been in 20 years.
Flight thru the canyon in Cotopaxi, Colorado
มุมมอง 1458 หลายเดือนก่อน
Just a short flight thru the canyon in Cotopaxi, Colorado. The drive between Canon City and Salida is one of the most beautiful in the state. My drone photography is meant as a learning stage, so I can get better at taking, and editing videos, as well as being a better drone pilot. One day, when I'm good enough, I'll create another channel, and monetize it, but until then, just bear with me as ...

Just a short flight, 14 March 2024 over Cotopaxi, Colorado. We have 7 inches of snow so far today, and we're at about 6,500 ft altitude.
March 14, 2024, Cotopaxi Colorado... SNOW
มุมมอง 469 หลายเดือนก่อน
Only about 6 inches, but it's more than we've had lately. This is a short drive from Cotopaxi, to Coaldale and back, to show people how it gets here. Actually, not too bad at all. This is at about 6,500 ft in altitude, but a friend, about 15 minutes away, and about 9,500 ft, says he has over 12 inches of snow there.

Another drone flight over the Arkansas River in Cotopaxi, Colorado. I learn more about how to edit these videos with each one, but... they are getting better. Thank you for watching, constructive criticism is very welcome!
Cotopaxi, Colorado County Road 12
มุมมอง 16310 หลายเดือนก่อน
A drive on north County Road 12 in Cotopaxi, Colorado. It's the middle of February, and going up in altitude, so there's a little more snow, actually about 2 feet, when I decided to turn around about 9:25 minutes into the video. Yeah, I know, it's a long video, but I want to show people the beauty in this state, in real time.

Enjoyed the drive
Very cool! I enjoyed riding with you guys.
Very nice! Did you foot heal up ok??
Hi Gary! Yes, it's all healed up now. I'm just now uploading new videos, I mentioned you in the newest one (Alpine Loop; Cinnamon Pass in Colorado). It's going very slow because I'm on a DSL connection. I'm thinking about Starlink, but it's $120 a month, twice what the DSL is. I hope you and wifey are doing good!
Which bike did you ride?
I rode the WR450, and let Aku ride the YZ250.

Thank you, I'm still learning, one day, I'll be able to produce much better videos,. My slow internet speed really hampers things. I take the videos at 4k, but, the quality really suffers when uploading. Have a great day there!
