Mt. Rainier down south, Olympics to the west (right). Two row pano shot manual RAW, processed and stitched in ACR

Thanks for all the replies. Now I wish I hadn't loaded that new firmware, at least for a while. Wonder why they let us go to 1000m, but then took it away. In the shot I posted if I would have had the time and energy I could have hiked another two miles and 2000 ft. of elevation gain up a steep...

Yesterday I flew in the WA Cascades near my house. When checking settings on my Mavic 3 I was happy to see I could set my operational ceiling over 3000ft! No chance of aircraft in the valley I'd hiked up so I flew up to about 1900 to shoot a 360º pano. Today I installed new firmware and went...

Thanks for all the replies. It was the login that shut me down. First time it has happened to me. I haven't been flying much lately so it must have logged me out - never happened before so I didn't know it was a thing. Good advice to turn it on and keep it logged in every now and then, esp...

I just got back from a three week trip to the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta. After driving half a day to get to an incredibly beautiful remote valley I was very unhappy to find the drone wouldn't go more than 50m up or away until I logged in and did an update, which was obviously...

Spot our truck camper.

Thanks for the comments guys. Dale, you have given me the same advice a number of times. You seem to have forgotten that I know how to use the masking tools in ACR, and in fact did in this pano. We have different tastes in the application though. IMO this blue hour sunrise shot would look...

Mt. Baker on the L, Mt. Pilchuck in center, Mt. Baring on R. Pano shot RAW manually, 2 rows, processed and stitched in ACR.

Taken from above my house last week. Two row pano shot RAW then processed and stitched in ACR.

Another smoky sunrise view toward the Cascades (Mt. Pilchuck) from above my house in Lake Stevens. Hopefully the winds are changing to blow the smoke east so this should be the last such sunrise of the season.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yvrguy, yes, I'm an hour south of the border, so same area.

For the first time in a while I was able to see the mountains through the wildfire smoke this morning. After the hottest and driest Oct. on record we are desperate for our normal fall rains to douse the fires, hopefully this coming Friday.

Beautiful!

IMHO this is the best video posted on this site! Incredible light, mountains (my favorites), and editing. I esp. liked the person materializing on the rock ( you I assume) - very cool effect. Well worth the bugs. Were they bad even up in the alpine? Thanks for sharing your beautiful 4K work...

Most excellent - scene, light, composition, processing
