Picture is worth a 1000 words

I’m thinking this should be the “just sunset” slot.

@Starz -- great picture. What were you using drone wise, and/or filter combo?

No filters. Mp2 Pro
Probably a tad too under exposed.

I disagree with it being under exposed. The way you have it really draws one's eyes to the brilliant colors of the sky!

Taking all such pictures the light compensation on camera must be set to a lower values or set the parameters manually. This picture is not underexposed it is the camera setting to be put into lower exp. as the camera software tends to overexpose such motives and you'll loose all the colours that way. This is overall principle in photography not solely in drone cameras,.

I wanted the photo to look as my eye sees what I'm looking at. Not edited to make it look good.

The camera does not see what you see with your eyes. And even then the picture you are looking at is processed in your brain. Adjusting the camera is only for getting closer to what you see with your eyes. Put the camera into full auto mode and you'll see what you'll get.

That was full auto

I was baling hay last night as the sun set. Was thinking the whole time "Man, I wish I had my drone in the air right now!!!" Gives me something to shoot for now!

Sunsets isn't the easiest thing to photo with a drone. If you're not in the air at the right time it could be gone by the time you are.

 

[Starz]

My all time favorite.

I know. Storm moving my way from the west tonight. I'm hoping I can get a good shot this evening. Sounds like a sunrise shot is out for tomorrow for sure. My poor P3S can't wear one of those condoms, so no rain shots for me... (@Capt KO)

So, for a complete novice like me, flying a P3S, how should the settings be for this kind of shot?

That thingy is one of the desert features that supports my DJI habit.
We get between 25.00 to 35.00 per foot to move them from point A to point B.
One subdivision that we worked on(100 lots)had 400 of them that got moved. Anything from one foot tall to 25 foot tall. Added 1K to the price of each lot. Even though they have stickers everywhere, I still like em!

@Starz
Wow... I'm in THE WRONG LINE OF WORK!!! That's friggin unreal!

 

[Shoot4fun]

@Starz do they still regulate the movement? I remember something about that years ago...
