I've done it a couple of times, but it's unnerving. Besides downdrafts, mist, etc., you may lose your sense of motion relative to the rushing water. Try to use your peripheral vision of the stationary surroundings to keep your motion consistent.I've been flying for about 5 weeks now. I want to fly near a waterfall. I'm wondering what experience others have had. How close can I get, is the mist a factor, is the wind strong the closer I get etc.?
I always use ND filters on M2P. Check light before flight then attach appropriate filter. I only shoot manual exp. For stills I adjust shutter speed as necessary in flight.Very nice. Thanks for posting the photos. If using a DSLR, it would be interesting to use a neutral density filter so one could drag the shutter. I’ve not tried it with a drone though. In my book, you get points for even flying in 6 degree weather!???
Flying waterfalls, especially big/tall ones can create a challenge sometimes. See my thread in the "Lost and Found" section of this forum called "Death of a Mavic 2 Pro". It may have some useable info posted there. Also visit my YouTube channel, Lee Peachey Productions" for some more insite to watery scenes.I've been flying for about 5 weeks now.
