This is one from the other night looking back. I'm not asking for 0 grain, I'm trying to figure out why it looks so mushy. ISO: 400 Aperture: 2.8 Shutter: 1/50 No Filter DJI_0016.DNG

This is a similar angle with contrast as well and it turned out a lot better quality wise. This is sweetened in post but it is not "mushy" like the other one I posted.

I've done similar shots like this before and it hasn't been this bad. I fully expected the blacks to be black. I am not trying to push any shadows at all. With an ISO of 200 and I metered with the mind set of "split the difference" between the sky and the field I am not happy with the overall...

Hey all! Just wanted to share some test flights from my Phantom 4. As a professional cinematographer I am loving the options have opened up for me creatively. These are straight out of the camera raw. 1080 120fps 1080 24fps 1080 60fps
