"Photo Of The Day"

ufosaboveus · Jan 8, 2019

I am new here and didn't see any daily photo thread so thought I would propose we start one. Doesn't have to be anything special... just share what you are doing with your drone. Might be nice to give a few details of the pic such as general location, drone used, etc.

I don't really have anything special for today but did shoot some photos from 200' at sunset today from the back yard. Kinda grainy and I haven't really gotten a chance to play with all the settings yet but here it is. Added a touch of contrast, color and vignette just for effect.

We stay here with friends every New Year for 4 nights. No cell coverage... just awesome after being on call 24x7 Christmas week!
Lots of tramping and walking. Solar powered lights and gas cooking, showers. I love it.

I still haven't tried one of the 360 degree shots. Are they hard to do? So much I still need to learn about this drone. Oh and that giant tree looked awesome!

@Efliernz We saw some Kauri trees on walks that we did in the Coromandel although it was raining and very wet underfoot (Feb 2017). They are very impressive trees. It us a shame that they are under threat by man and disease.

So easy! It hovers on the spot and takes about 2-3 minutes for the shoot. Check out the YouTube tutorials - this is a good one:

thanks for the link on 360s. looks pretty easy actually so going to see if I can go to a local park and try it tonight.

Agustine, looks like you have your settings dialed in nice for sunrise pics. Sure looks cold though... I'm spoiled with texas winters. High in 60s today.

Late afternoon at the local park near Birmingham, England.

Here's a pic of some clouds taken with the Anafi.

ufosaboveus · Jan 10, 2019

those were some interesting clouds thinker.

had a blast with my drone out at the lake this morning. Winds are still high here but even with sustained 15-20mph winds, the little Anafi did a great job. It was also cloudy so not a great day for drone pics but here is an idea of what I was doing tooling around the local marina. I was even using the drone to watch a pair of Canadian geese chasing each other. At 50feet up, the drone didn't seem to bother them at all!

150' (50m) up - seeing what works and what doesn't.
The merge was done in the Freeflight6 app as Lightroom completely stuffed it up!
Some cleaning-up of the merged image in LR before uploading to Kuula.

360 trial above/beside Kay Road, Rototuna looking at the Hamilton Section of.

It is part of a 22Km road construction project - I am shooting stills and aerial video for it:

My first evening aerial - not today but a few days ago.

Nice pic Pete.

Looks like a tornado

Not from today but back in the autumn.
A lot to learn about processing these tiny sensor files and this one's a long way off but good fun and I'll get there
