Learned to program my drone to "write in the sky" using a small but bright light attached to its backside. The light can be switched from white to green to red (but not remotely). So I had to first turn it green and draw the tree, then bring it back, switch the light to red, and fly again to draw the year. Altogether it took about 10 minutes, I think. I used a very smart LiveComposite mode on my Olympus camera, so I could extend the exposure indefinitely without overexposing the background. So this is a single frame, it would be legal under Standard ruleset as well.
As you see, my writing so far is rather sloppy, not sure why yet, my waypoints were arranged very neatly. So one of my New Year resolutions is to learn better "dronewriting" skills :).

So cool that this is one exposure, technology on cameras today is awesome, really need to consider an upgrade but then I’d still have to learn to use it and fly drones and invest in new glass. Guess I’m sticking with what I’ve got.
This is really well done and agree it makes a great holiday card for warmer areas.
