Nice to hear you had good time with grandson. I have very fond memories of my grandfather who took me on fun outings many years ago. Like the landscape and sunset. I have a few like this where I am shooting directly into setting sun although through more haze. I will put a few up because I am wondering if these sunset shots might be classic condition for ND filter? Also, have you noticed the horseshoe crop circles all over the place? Freaky...could be ET better keep eyes peeled.

Hi chip yes they are meant to be horse shoe shapes they were put there ,it is an old coal tip and the park was built as a memorial to the mine and miners who worked there there is a pit pony carved into the ground in relief and it is depicted galloping hence the horse shoe shapes

Heres the test vid from last week, should be a great place to fly when the lightings right. There was a mad mist coming in from the east but I kinda liked it : no colour profiles or correction)let me know your thoughts gents.

Just waiting on a sunset thats worthy as theres a castle up there too hidden in the mist so ill be back (now I know where its is) bit concerned how the mist seemed to cause banding in the eastbound shots on my lappy but playsback perfectly on 4k tv. Did anyone else notice it???

Beautiful scenery @old man mavic ... I love these reflections. Coincidence or not, you had a smiley with you. I have allowed myself to highlight this from your material. And I would be very happy if you show us some more of your pictures at some point

Oh, I really enjoyed your obviously first YT video. For me, it looks cinematic. I especially liked flying along the bridge. I wish I had already progressed so far ... I could only watch it in Full HD (still not interested in 4K) ...

Oh dad, no thoughts from me about the quality of every shots...

I think you had a wonderful flight day with your grandson, that's more important than anything else

If I am traveling with friends or my wife to fly with the Mavic, then it is primarily about the experience of flying. But I let the camera run with every flight, and later transfer the videos at home from the memory card to the PC.

Sure, I'll save all the videos, but I do not want to spend much time editing video.

When the memory of a great flight fades, then I look at the video again, but that's all I'm doing with it.

So I have a lot of videos from my past flights, which a sophisticated filmmaker calls crap )

Am I worried about that? No!

Enjoy every flight and nature, that's all I say

@fozzzy

Just watched your vid again on my iPad Pro, no banding at all would love now to see some of your stills,

Come on buddy you can do it

 

[Porky]

Chip, you taken any photos lately, how you getting on with the filters? I’m now going to try them through the day, think I’ve now exhausted sunrise/set photos so now just normal scenery photos. Might Take a look at panorama shots, tried it before but had no luck.

Totally agree with your comment mnis, I’ve got so many photos that I will keep, can’t beat reminiscing over photos/videos that have been archived on the PC. It’s grear looking back over them and saying “ do you remember that one” and the little story behind it.

I’ve got soooooo many 35mm photos that I had printed years ago, my wife and I always chuckle looking back at them, yeah all crap but so many good memories

Hi chip yes they are meant to be horse shoe shapes they were put there ,it is an old coal tip and the park was built as a memorial to the mine and miners who worked there there is a pit pony carved into the ground in relief and it is depicted galloping hence the horse shoe shapes

OMG are you kidding me? What an awesome place to fly! You have a lot to work with here as a photographer and great mining story to boot. Thanks for sharing that I enjoyed reading up on the history.

Some kid probably took it on a Tello! What is funny to me is that Dad described the horse so simply like it was nothing special compared to the shoes:

Very nice! Great subject, music and editing. Especially liked the grand shots and music at 18 secs and 58 secs! The mist adds to it I think. Id go back regularly throughout year and take some of the same shots to get that time lapse look at the structure (or part of structure) going through the seasons.
