Mini 5 Pro Mount Ranier

[Island Guy]

Still a novice and just getting the courage to fly the mini 5. Never flown a drone before. My primary Rc interest has been gliders.
Live on about 4 acres in the forest.
It was blowing about 15 and was really amazed at how this thing holds its position. A pair of bald eagles were checking me out immediately!
Went up to about 300 ft and shot this photo.
Didn’t realize I had a view!

Nice shot, @Island Guy!

Awesome photo! I am always amazed how things look from above

Nice shot, @Island Guy!

Dan:

I am envious of your location. It is a great shot but it could be greatly improved with editing. Because of certain forum viewer's objections, I am asking for your permission to edit this image, just to show how the potential image could actually look better.

OK here is the before and after- please comment honestly.

Unedited


Edited- I removed the towers , worked on the sky and clouds(contrast, toned down the blue in the mountain) opened up the forest (shadows slider) .
Thanks.

Certain viewers have complained about doing an edit. That is why I appreciate your acceptance.

 

[Island Guy]

Very dramatic change! Thanks for doing that! And sharing what you did.

You are most welcome. I think I over edited the snow on the mountain. It should have been white. I can fix it but you get what I mean.

Nice shot and nice editing Dale. I think it’s wise to ask permission.

Nice shot and nice editing Dale. I think it’s wise to ask permission.

There is only one viewer on the forum who gets very upset when I do it, so from now on I will ask permission.

My interest has always been RC Gliders as well. Although I defer to Drones now.

@Island Guy - nice shot! Amazing what 300 ft does!

 

[Rchawks]

Agreed. Height makes a big difference. The perspective changes so much.
