3 Downtown Miami with the Rickenbacker Bridge

Erk1024 · Feb 16, 2025

This is a shot of Miami Downtown shot from the Rickenbacker Bridge side. I got stuck in a traffic jam and arrived very late--long after sunset. I'll probably try again at some point. Shot with the Mavic3's 70mm lens. I SHOULD have bracketed the shots. Not my best work, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Here's the Google Drive link. Zoom in! It's big.

That was a really great image.Definitely worth sharing. I have the Mavic 3. What were our settings, e.g.: shutter, aperture, or was it on auto? I assume you took off from under the bridge where the small parking lot is located. That is one of my all time favorites places to film.

Hi Dale!

This was shot at ISO-100, f/2.8 (no choice), exposure 0.6 seconds using the 70mm (equivalent) camera. I shot it using the panorama mode. The software only allows the 360 mode with this camera, which is odd. I should have manually shot it with brackets instead. I think the image quality would have been better.

All the gates to the park on the bridge were locked, so I parked illegally. I was late because of the traffic. Also have to keep an eye on the air traffic in that area. Many private planes were flying that day. Hopefully none of them were below 400 feet.

Great shot. Dale is a seasoned flyer and photographer in your City. We will be there in May this year. Yippee.

No reason beating yourself down! This is a great shot, well executed. There is detail even in the brightest of highlights and the deep shadows are clean. That just commenting on technicalities. The atmosphere in the shot is mesmerizingly beautiful, the colors are captivating. The only distraction to me is the crane next to the tall building on the left side. I am not sure if for fidelity reason it needs to be shown but if it is an "artistic photo" I'd photoshop it out.
Thanks for sharing, well done!!!

P.S.
I remain hopeful that the A3S's very useful 70mm pano mode will be implemented into M3P.
