Long exposure sample shots

[Davee123]

Here are some of my sample shots. I was curious and messing around with the exposure on my MP. I would love to see some of your work. Any tips are appreciated!

Hi Daveee123, the photos look great, to get the effect, do you just have long shutter speeds.. any special setting to control the Mavic.
Anyway.. we can't fly at night in Australia but I am curious how you took the photos.

Hey Davee123, those shots look amazing!! What picture settings did you customize on your MP and how long was the exposure set for?

I set my ISO down to 100 and experimented with the exposure between 3 and 6 seconds. Turns out for some very nice shots

Make sure the ISO is low to cut down on noise in the image

Your shots are great!

How were you able to get your focus correct though? I just tried a quick test flight and everything is out of focus, even though I "tapped" on a focal point in the middle of the frame. Any suggestions?

Night photography with my P3P was easy without having to worry about focusing.

Manual focus is an option if tap to focus is not working well.

Can you explain more a little how you did these? I tried to do this last night but I just kept getting non long exposure shots.

Thank you!

Can I ask a question?
How stable is mav pro 2 in a mild breeze for a 10 sec long exposure. And does anyone know how to read the wind and say “ it happening today.

You can watch a long exposure video and learn the basics. With a hand held camera and then apply it to the sky
