Bob Hall Pier - Corpus Christi, TX

[kilomikebravo]

Took the M2P out on a gorgeous day yesterday and went down to Bob Hall Pier on Padre Island, Corpus Christi, TX. Had a chance to do the first tests with the PolarPro gradient and CPL filters and they worked beautifully. Using an ND32, I was able to get 0 EV at ISO 100, f4, and 1/50th for the 4k 24fps video. The stills were shot with either an ND32-8 or the ND32 CPL. All turned out well and I continue to be amazed at this little Hasselblad.

Wow... thank you for sharing! Really good photos and a very different setting for me. Posting DNGs is a very good idea for all of us, who are not able to travel that much / far or do not live near a coast and want to train post processing skills. Thanks again!

Calmar: Happy to help and I know many people have requested that folks make it possible to view the RAW files rather than just compressed JPG’s. Fortunately cloud services make that an easy task and MS’s OneDrive works very well.

Very informative, just got my filters few days ago but raining here in Pacific NW , so waiting...
On the second look I think you might have gradient filter upside down, darker area should mask brighter skies, or I have it upside down ?

I think you might have gradient filter upside down,

Kazo: You could very well be correct even though I did check them before installation. Problem is, I think most of us put the filters on with the aircraft upside down so I could easily see myself doing the same thing to the filter. I wondered why I didn't see the gradient in the sky. I swear, I get dumber every year. Thanks for pointing it out, I will definitely add that particular item (right side up) to my takeoff checklist.
