Here are a couple of shots from last night M2P, iso 100, f11, 6” shutter shot with a night filter

Glad to hear that even in the wind they turned out great. Wind is forecast to be 1kts here tonight.

Does the mini have a fixed aperture of basically f2.8? If so, would the ND64 basically give you an aperture of f8.8?

I flew the area in daylight so that I could come up with an altitude that would keep me clear of obstacles and plan on keeping my area of operation very small.

Will try shorter exposures. Maybe just 1-2sec and stack photos in post. No liability. I have not collected payment so if it does not turn out I just won’t. Winds are forecast for 1kts so should be very calm. Maybe I will get lucky.

Thanks for the settings. I can set an ISO of 100 and focus to infinity and adjust shutter speed to 5 sec but the top of my aperture is f11. I will grab some shots with these settings and then some with a lower aperture or maybe a higher ISO, maybe around 400. I am shooting in RAW but will...

I wish, unfortunately all fireworks are banned where I live in CA. No place to do something like that. Now that I think about it though, I could take my firehouse strobe and place it some distance away and then work on photographing it and seeing what settings work the best.

I have searched the other threads on photographing fireworks but can't seem to get a consistent answer on camera settings. I have been hired to capture images of a firework show tomorrow night with my M2P. I am afraid that shooting in 4k and grabbing frames is not going to give me the...

That is great to know. I was wondering what the play was and how they were extracting money out of the situation. Thanks for the explanation!

I have now received confirmation that others have been approached by this same phone number. When you call it it goes to a messing system that request that you text this number. From the responses I have received on the commercial drone pilot board this is not an uncommon thing.

I started receiving text yesterday about a potential new job. Some aspects of the situation threw up major red flags wile other aspects made it seem like it may just be a very odd person with a legit request. I did google the property and it was listed for sale online. I called the realtor and...
