I fully agree! My first MP2 had a very bad lens with a big blurry spot on the left sight. I could reorder my purchase. My second one has an acceptable lens and is good enough for its purpose. But the name Hasselblad for this lens is a laugh! Ton, 100% photographer.

That's not completely true. Resolution is only a part of the information a picture can contain. A raw file has a much bigger latitude than a jpg because the colours and contrasts aren't being fixed but wide open to quality image manipulation. A jpg has only 8 bits of depth while the raw/dng has...

I'm 77 and flying a M2P mainly for making images. Ton

I fully agree with you that a special luminance meter, if you have decent one, is more precise and a lot easier to use than a camera. And you have to know beforehand how a certain number of nits translates to camera settings. ( I have a luminance meter myself for calibrating my monitor.) If...

Your statements are only partly true. On the first place; the inverse square relationship holds only for a point source (with no reflective surfaces in its neighbour hood). If you measure an object exposed bij a lightsource, in this case the monitorscreen, the farther away the less light it...

We don't have to buy an extra luminance-meter from Amazon, because we al have decent luminance meters. Your photo-camera wil do a good job in measuring the luminance with a precision of at least 1/3 f-stop. We just need a comparison standard in terms of iso, shutterspeed and diafragma for lets...

For this example I just made a whole new sky. Very easy. Select the sky. Select a nice color of blue from your color picker. Use the gradient tool; blue to white. Experiment a bit with the gradient for a nice result. Use the dodge and burn tool fore making the sky more living/natural to your...

Sorry to say but the result looks horrible. But since I never worked with the DJI photo software it can be a program or a operator error. I have made a lot of panos, also 3-sixties and in all cases Lightroom performs perfectly. For the best performance shoot in the raw/dng-format. In that case...

Since I also didn't want 100 pieces of D-ring I decided to make my own. Two standars m4*10mm bolts, two nylon washers and I made from a piece of standard 2,5m2 copperwire two small rings. Soldered them together with the m4 bolts and it was fixed. I took from my very old Nikon D100 the lanyard...

I'm not shocked at all because I'm color correcting jpg's as well raw's for many years. But the fact is that the possibilities are far greater with raw then with jpg's. Ton Ps; one of my latest pano's.

For altering satisfactorily the colors in a picture like this you need to have the raw/dng file. It gives many more possibilities. Ton

About half a hour ago I downloaded the latest software and took a testflight in my backyard which is 31m above sea level. Ik took a picture at ground level, flew for two minutes and took another picture at ground level. For the first picture The LR-reading was 45m and the second picture gave a...

Since the beginning I get some weird altitude readings in LRcc and also in ACR. The readings on the Smart Controller are correct but if I import them in LR I get every time different readings. Today I was even 100 meters below ground level, ( I didn't know the Mavic had digging capabilities!)...

I noticed that too that the final charging taking lots of time. When all the top leds are on (blinking) it still goes on with charging.
