South Australia, the great southern land
I have taken maybe a dozen photos with the M1P since owning it nearly 2 years.
Mostly I am always taking video.

Today I wanted to try out a few things with photos.
I use my NISI C-PL, so about 1-1/2 stops and hopefully cut a bit of glare off the water.

Here's a few of the ships graveyard, located in the Port River, Adelaide, South Australia (GOOGLE MAPS)

Mostly old barges and cargo hulks, there are some more well known ones nearby, but that requires a 1.2km one way flight, was too windy today, another day in our upcoming summer will do those.

This one is located a few km away down river, scrapped in a tidal creek.
(Drove to it :) )

I have raw photos as well, one day when I get a proper editor, I will have a go at those.
These were mainly resized, a tiny bit of adjustment with light, some a touch of vignette, about it.

On the trip home, we stopped at a beach with rocky shoreline, wanted to try my ND64 to see how it might capture water motion.
Was too windy, but seemed to work ok for just after noon.

Only 1/4 second exp at iso100, might need darker time of day / darker place like waterfall surrounded by tree canopy etc.

and with no filter

Interesting photos. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks :)
Hope to spend bit more time on the photos, get the hang of composing them from above and general settings etc.

One day I might move up to a better DJI (or other) drone when tech comes up just a little more, and photos can be improved over the 12mp.

Flying interstate in a few hours, and will have a couple of hours to edit a nice oil / chemical tanker video I shot as it came down the river to depart port.
Will probably post that up tonight.
 
I have spent some time kayaking around that area. Did you manage to see any dolphins from the air?
