Air 2 Bird's-eye view of the Appalachian Mountains in Fall [Mavic Air 2]

San_Marino · Nov 16, 2020

Was able to capture the amazing fall colors in the Appalachian Mountains with the Mavic Air 2. Shot in PA and VA.

Colors are great! My favorite was the mist/cloud on the mountain

Thanks Thomas. I thought the day was going to be a write off because of the clouds, but it turned out to work great.

Hi San Marino,
I hope you don´t mind if I "played around" a little bit on your video! The shots are really amazing, very smoth! I like the colorfull forests, which we don´t have in such a variety here in Germany!

The only thing I did with your video is to increase the saturation. I think it looks way better now, don´t you think? Thumbswayup

cheers Paul

Hi Paul:

In watching both films, I think that the first one, albeit with less saturation, is more realistic. I think the "adjusted" film with the increased saturation was a tiny bit over developed. Somewhere in between these two would have been ideal. The sliders lure you in to pushing them a bit more to the right than needed. Too much saturation makes it look more cartoonish.

Beautiful views of the Appalachians. A wonderful location to capture. Thanks for sharing.

Dale I think it looks better this way because the original is too faint...We´ll see what San Marino says

But ok, it could be a little less saturated. Deppens how the monitor is calibrated Mine is calibrated and it looks ok!
Cheers Paul

Really enjoyed this video, nice work. I noticed the trees were swaying quite a bit, do you know what the wind speeds were when you went up? HFTA!

Lovely vistas. Looked like you were flying in some fairly breezy conditions at one point.

Hey Paul,
In general, I like videos a little less saturated, just my personal preference. But after looking at your clip I think I could have increased the saturation a bit on the video I made. Thanks for the feedback Paul.

Thanks, Barbara. There was a decent breeze. I also speed up a few shots in post so it may look a little bit more breezy than it actually was.

Thanks Cacique143. It was a bit breezy for a few of the shots, but less than it might appear in the video (probably around 20 mph). Some of the shots were sped up in post so they look a bit breezier than they actually were.

Hey Dale,

I tend to prefer my videos less saturated to keep them more realistic as you pointed out, but I do agree that some more saturation may have been beneficial. Something in between the two videos might have been just right. I will keep this in mind when I edit future clips. I appreciate the feedback.
