Some nice, controlled reverse flying there. Curious about your choice of 1080p: Did you shoot it in 4K?
Thank you.
Yes. Shot in 4K. I applied some stabilization which robs from the full frame. So I reduced the output.
Good call.
Beautiful place to fly with the snow.Enjoy the serenity. With sound.
One question, why the water look greenish? Is it the real color?
Thank you. It’s a good question. This happens at some waterfalls and I’m not sure why. I don’t know if it’s something to do with something underneath coming through. I first noticed this years ago with a picture in the Yellowstone waterfalls.
Having said that, I admit to adding a LUT in post processing and maybe upping the saturation a bit to emphasize some colors in a fairly colorless winter scene. So I’m sure it’s exaggerated a bit. But I didn’t add it. Nor did I subtract it because I wanted some visual interest. If it’s distracting then maybe it’s counterproductive.
This kind of feedback is always helpful.

edit: I should note that I did a white balance adjustment on the snow to make sure there was no overall color cast. So regarding the green in the water, it must have been there.
I enjoyed flying onboard your drone. Well done with your flying backwards. This was a really tricky scene to shoot with the step height changes and bends - all further complicated by the running water.
Without the motion of the water it would have been more simple to fly forward through the scene and reverse in post. I use this technique fairly routinely but it is a bit of a minefield and its easy to get caught out by moving vehicles, wave motion and animals to name but a few.
All the best, Martin

Thank you. Yes very true about flying forward and then reversing in post. That I couldn’t do that makes this all the more interesting.
Yes, I have seen that the color of the snow was very real, that's why I was asking about the waterThank you. It’s a good question. This happens at some waterfalls and I’m not sure why.

Thanks for your reply
Check this. I can’t explain it. This is Yellowstone.

I love falls that have an curves a long the top or cascading water falls.
I have done some winter falls with snow and I needed to adjust the colors that come through by tricking the camera. The white foam does have a green tint in your video. The snow on my monitor has a pink tint. I do a color cast correction by clicking on the foam on my videos, because it is the most noticeable. It seems to work well all around.
Clear streams seem to have a blueish or green tint to them. I have had people ask me, are the streams where I live, that color?

Very cinematic and a tricky shot to pull off. One small branch in your way and you're in the water. I know from experience.
