Excellent aerial photography weather at start point through Vero Beach. Weather north of Vero Beach included thunderstorms and rain at Daytona Beach and St. Augustine requiring 1-day flight postponement at Vero Beach. September 6, 2014 Vero Beach to St MaryÕs River Inlet; Weather delay - 2.5 hour stop in St Augustine for thunderstorms and rain in north Florida. Return to Newport News, Va. Better flight weather but less than optimum for aerial photography. 60%-75% cloud cover reduced sunlight and lowered shutter speeds. Thunderstorms in northern Florida necessitated a 2-hour delay at St. Augustine. Thunderstorms moved north and west permitting continuance; however cloud cover was minimal for flight and photography; moderate turbulence following thunderstorm resulted in some blurred images.
