Daily Photo – Random Bora Bora Here’s a photo from my trip to Bora Bora back in 2014. Back then it was a good old GoPro that you attached to your drone. No built-in cameras on those older models. Changed days now with some great sensors on even on the consumer DJIs. Random Bora Bora […]

Sunset over the North Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Sunset over the North Island The landscape on the North Island of NZ is vastly different to here around Queenstown on the South. Especially so around the more northern parts, past Auckland… still beautiful though. Especially so at sunset.

Fiordland National Park from Above
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Fiordland National Park from Above I’ve driven up and down this road quite a few times over the years and always found it to be stunning. From the ground the options are fantastic but I got a whole new appreciation for the area when I started chucking the quadcopter up to explore […]
Guanyin of Nanshan, China
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Guanyin of Nanshan, China The Guanyin of Nanshan is a huge statue of the bodhisattva Guanyin, located on the island of Hainan, just off the coast of China. You can perhaps see how huge it is by examining the size of the average Chinese tourist at its base. This island is a […]

Below. New Zealand.
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Below. New Zealand. Sometimes you have one of those days where you just can’t take a bad photo. This was one of those days. When the weather is cooperating and you’re in a magical place, there’s just no going wrong. These days stand out to me because they so rarely happen! This […]
One from the Archive
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – One from the Archive Here’s an image back from when I was first playing with drones. Back then you had a GoPro attached to it and sent it off on its journey, pretty much guessed the shot and brought it back. You never knew what you’d get until later. It was lots […]
Exploring Koh Samui by Air
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Koh Samui by Air Launching the quadcopter from a boat is always a bit nervy but the real problem is getting it back onto the boat when you’re done exploring. I would be lying if I said I’ve been successful every time… 🙁 Exploring Koh Samui by Air Photo Information Date […]

The Biggest Pool in the Southern Hemisphere
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Passport Sunday… … will now be Passport Monday for this week. Sorry for the delay! Daily Photo – The Biggest Pool in the Southern Hemisphere When I was here on Laucala Island things were pretty sweet! It’s probably the nicest resort I’ve ever visited and I was completely blown away the entire time. I hear […]
Mini-Island in Wanaka
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Mini-Island in Wanaka I flew my drone out as far as I could to get this image. I think you can go camping out here at night… that sounds incredibly fun and romantic. I’d love to give it a try. That reminds me I need to get all new camping gear because […]
Tane in the Pool
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Tane in the Pool While we were in Langkawi, each of us had our own pool for our rooms. How cool is that? We would always have arguments… like he said, why don’t you come to my pool. And I was like no way man. I’m not getting in your filthy pool. […]
Droning over Waiheke Island
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Droning over Waiheke Island What a beautiful little island this is? For those of you that don’t know, this island is just a short ferry ride from Auckland in New Zealand. It’s not a huge island, but big enough to hold a bunch of houses and some little towns. This is also […]
Over the Baths
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Over the Baths I had a great day out here with the kids after a long hike. I believe we were on one of the Disney cruises and we decided to do one of their little excursions here on Virgin Gorda. It’s one of the most unique swimming locations in the world […]
Singapore from Above
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Singapore from Above I think this looks a little bit like a bra for two very different breast sizes. I don’t know why I see that… probably a bit of Rorschach. It actually wasn’t too easy to get to this spot to take the photo because it was pretty much at the […]
Morning in the Bird Lagoons of Gisborne
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Morning in the Bird Lagoons of Gisborne Most of the days in Gisborne were quite moody and full of rain, so as soon as there was a clear morning, I got out the quadcopter to see the beauty from above. On this farm, they created this sanctuary for all sorts of waterfowl. […]
Exploring Krabi
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Exploring Krabi Krabi is right on the coast of Thailand and it’s a fun day to take out a boat and explore all the little islands. This is a cool secret bay that you can’t see when you’re zooming by this island so I decided to get the quad up in the […]
Cookie Cutter Resorts in Hawaii
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – Cookie Cutter Resorts in Hawaii I actually forgot the name of this resort, but it had sort of a funny setup. There were three or four resorts right next door to one another and they all had the exact beach and bay layout. I would go on little jogs along the path […]
The Remarkables and Kelvin Heights
Written by Stu Davidson @ Stuck in Customs
Daily Photo – The Remarkables and Kelvin Heights Here’s a new photo from Queenstown of the Remarkables with Deer Park Heights in the foreground. This perspective actually makes DPH look pretty huge, but it’s quite small compared to the mountains in the background. If you’re a geology nerd like me, then you may identify this […]
