McGuirk Stadium 4:25 PM
Things seemed to be going smoothly at the packed McGuirk Stadium as 5,500 graduates will now bid our town farewell. Well at least the vast majority of them.
For four years (or more) they called Amherst home, helping to make us the vibrant town that we are. And come this September that small cycle of life, in our little college town, starts all over again.
Thankfully.
Looks better/fuller viewed here (Note flag flapping in breeze, but video is steady)

So what's the over/under on some kind of violent incident occurring somewhere in America involving a drone, where some number of people get hurt?
Two years? Five years? Ten years?
We're now into something completely unregulated.
Well I was pretty well regulated during this shoot, as I had UMPD Chief and 2 Deputy Chiefs with me the entire time.
FAA rules are about a year away.
OMG, something may be unregulated in the US, do something.
44,000 people die each year on our roads due to a lack of regulation and a focus on things other than safety (like getting drug money) - they give anyone driver's licenses. A few people dead from drone accidents is barely a blip worth talking about in comparison.
Glad the students are gone, hope they don't come back. They have ruined Amherst as this blog has been outlining for some time.
Now, now. Students are the lifeblood of our community.
It's only a small percentage (but out of a VERY large number) who are a pain in the ass.
like a few blog admins.
I'm the only blog Admin.
My sense is that you do not moderate all blogs. I think the previous poster was grouping you with other people that have the same trade and Admin style within that trade.
Nice video, can you do a time lapse of them marching into the stadium?
Can't believe how steady the camera is.
Probably could. I only shot that brief bit thinking there would not be much to see via video vs photo.
Didn't realize until after downloading that it caught the graduates marching in and would have been kind of interesting.
I'm looking at a live feed on an iPad mini on a sunny day, so it's hard to pick up the details until after downloading the photos/videos.
The gimbal keeps things amazingly steady.
Speeching aboard 'shoot,' I keep searching the skies over my property for the lingering drone. Target practice!
I had all the UMass PD top brass with me as I was shooting this and I later asked if they had received any reports/calls about the drone.
Not a single one.
When done correctly, it can be pretty unobtrusive.
