First Picture with Mavic Air

I was able to take my new Mavic Air out for a quick flight after work yesterday- didn’t take any video but was able to capture a great sunset.

Awesome shot did you change any of the settings when you did this or was it in Default settings?

I changed the white balance to "cloudy" and in the manual settings I raised both the ISO and shutter speeds to allow more light to come into the sensor (I made sure that the photo was overall underexposed to allow more vibrant colors in the sky to be visible even after I lighten the darker areas during editing). For photo type I chose single-shot, but I'm going to test HDR (high dynamic range) next time to see how well the pictures turn out considering it takes an underexposed, overexposed, and what it considers to be "properly" exposed photo and combines the three. I leave the sharpness, contrast, and saturation at 0 for most photos, this one included.

Thanks! It may not be much to look at during the winter months without snow, but we typically have really colorful sunsets. I'm looking forward to taking more photos once the snow falls.
