    Advice from Whale Photographers

    Out of curiosity, and I'm certain you have already tried, but have you shot video of the breeching whales from the A1 and experimented with the spot/matrix metering modes to see if it cuts out a lot of the over exposures.

    Advice from Whale Photographers

    Seeing as you are fairly accomplished in the photographic still world, I'm surprised that you could not figure out the appropriate drone settings for still images and video from your drone. You certainly won't get the type of images that your first class Sony A1 camera can achieve.

    Are you a Pilot or an Aviator?

    Are you a Pilot or an Aviator?

    Makes me wonder if all Kamikazes are pilots? Are war missile drone operators/pilots also better referred to as suicidal instead of boring ole pilots?
