    Get stable long exposures

    I find I have the best luck at .8 to 1 sec and beyond that many soft frames. But allowing it to settle for a bit after any movements improves chances. And choosing as calm a night as possible for wind. Anytime you want to do Long exposures though, just need to shoot a lot of frames…,.

    Mavic 3 Filter Use

    If you like taking photos like this, and I can see what attracted you to it , was the backlight and shadows, then what you need to do here is, if you shot in RAW, you can obviously pull the highlights down a little, raise your exposure-a little , back up, a touch, and booster Shadows a great...

    Panorama in Lightroom automatically being stitched - Help!

    Did you select shooting Raw+ Jpg or just JPGs? By shooting RAW- you def get an unstitched set of Raw DNGs to work with in a folder on the disk named “Panorama 1”, Panorama-2, etc.

    Comparing panorama stitching software

    Looks Excellent Doug. Does Panovolo output a DNG after stitching? As I've been doing panos since 2008, I've long been in the habit of at least SOME preprocessing of the raw files first- lens correction/profile at least to lessen vignette and maybe some basic color. Always found my stitches in...

    Lightning : A great adventure for your drone.

    Are you mostly doing this with 4K video, 60FPS, Full Auto exposure settings? Or is anything locked down (exposure wise...). Also if with Mavic 3 are you using NightMode?

    DJI Fly Authorization Zone Unlock Steps Keep Repeating

    This happened to me last year w/Mavic 3 and an RC Pro. The way the page presented on screen the map filled the screen and I couldn’t scroll the page down to the “Accept ” button. It just moved the map around. Very frustrating. In the end I think quitting and restarting everything fixed it. But...

    Waypoint flights, some questions.

    Sorry, I didn’t see this right after you posted. But yes, this is exactly what I was asking about. A simple visual representation of the cameras angle of view from a given waypoint. And again, the answer to my original question was,” No, it doesn’t do that- “yet. But it would be helpful…

    Dale- will you be using this with the Mavic three charging hub? Or individual batteries in individual batteries one at a time? I’ll be interested to hear how this works too.

    M3 DNGs and JPGs are not the same size-unable to align layers

    I’ll check it again, but I think I tried that when I originally posted this- just cropping the extra pixels won’t make the 2 images from DNG to jpg align properly. If it isn’t a perfect match, I could have 20 ,30,more images of the same from JPEG, and the one master image of a DNG Being...

    Waypoint flights, some questions.

    “In any case, I think the best advice for your application is to create a waypoint sequence by flying the mission and setting them interactively.” Yes. Of course that’s the most accurate and what needs to be done if critical. I was just asking if there was any visual cues on the remote setup...
