Here's one from north of Tucson at sunset. Can't beat our monsoon season for great skies. MPP. 9 image panorama

Nice shot!
How did you get a such colored and contrasted picin pano mode? is it stock from your mavic or did you work on it?
Looks like it's a HDR pano...

I ask you this, because I tried several times to make some panos at sun set, but pics are always clear white (burned) around the sun when I set a good exposition for the whole picture, or very very underexposed if I want a balanced sun area...

I take the panos in RAW. I assemble then in On1, a photo editor which may soon replace Lightroom for this sort of thing from my point of view. I take the highlights slider way down to reduce the sun, and boost the shadows so I can see the ground. I think the Mavic takes superb photos, but you need to shoot in RAW, and then edit. No built in camera software gives very good results, drone or non drone. Did not use HDR for these, but have tried HDR exposures, then combined the finished HDRs into a pano. That works well too.

Ok,I take RAW pictures ;)
I tried to do exactly what you did (reduce highlight and then boost shadows) with RawTherapee,but when I open the pic, the sun appears dark... and when I reduce or increase Highlights, I see the burned areas just become darker anyway...(??) So they are unusable... Maybe that's due to RawTherpee... I'll try On1.

Yes,the mavic coupled with CP filter make some very great shots!!

Thanks a lot for your infos! have some good flights ;)

I’m not familiar with the app you are using. On1 which is pretty inexpensive does HDR, panos and all the RAW adjustments you need.

This is in Astoria, OR. Fun place to fly and always seems like it's easy to find a spot without too many people for a good takeoff area.

I have read your explanation about how you did this but just one question - how long approx did it take you in post ?
Edit - forgot to say - great shot, thanks for posting :)
About 10 minutes after I created the Panorama, which took less than 3 minutes.
