The link above is the filters.

Those are some examples of being too bright.

It looks like your exposure is set to high. You shouldn't need filters to take photos. They are helpful for shooting video though.

How do i adjust that?

 

[msinger]

Press the right scroll wheel in to select "EV" at the top, right of DJI GO. Then, scroll the wheel to set EV to 0.

You'll be able to see the areas that are over exposed if you turn on the "Over Exposure Warning" setting in DJI GO.

Additionally, with the bird connected to the transmitter, click on the camera icon shown in msinger's image. You then tap the three lines with circles on them further down the menu. Exposure options will appear near the camera icon. Slide that to an appropriate exposure (shutter speed) time and you will eventually see a proper exposure

Turn you ISO to 100 or 200 and increase your shutter to around 1000. ND filters will help a lot

These do look better! Exposure ( fixed aperture and fixed shutter speed) will never produce equal illumination as you rotate your phantom 360 degrees with the exception of perhaps photographing on a gray day. You can set your exposure to automatic and that may alleviate a good portion of your blowout and bloom.

Remember, there are consequences to everything you do trying to get the perfect exposure. Ex., pointing into the sun will cause your automatic exposure to increase shutter speed and you will lose detail in the shadows ( ground ). The opposite is true when making your emphasis on photographing the ground. There is just a limited amount of dynamic range in digital imaging. Shoot in RAW and you will have greater control of your post processing skills.

I do wish I knew more on how post processing in raw. I guess I will need to watch YouTube and learn...
