Very nice. Hello from Ottawa

Very Nice! Did you use any filters while filming?

 

[ottawavalleydronephotogra]

Thanks! No filters were used. I just shot it in manual with ISO 100 and shutter speed at 50.

I just bought a set of cheap ND filters/polarizers and waiting to try some shots to compare the effects.

I’ve been looking at some filter on Amazon too. I haven’t purchased any yet. I’ve been trying to shoot earlier in the day to avoid harsh light. Let me know how the filter work after you give them a shot.

The brand that I bought is "Neewer". About $25 with 6 filters (3 ND and 3 ND with polarizer)
The issue with the polarizer is that they just spin round and round with no real way to see markings to determine a setting. So, you need to turn on the camera and watch your video output to get any idea what the results will be while adjusting the filter rotation. Also, you need to make the settings while facing the drone in the actual direction you will be flying as the effect will not be the same if going at a different angle. But I think this would be the case with any polarizer?

Not a perfect explanation but many YouTube videos on the subject. If I had it to do again, I would look for some filter set that had some markings or settings on the ring.

Good luck!

Nice video. My wife's family moved from Arnprior in the early 1900s to Camrose Alberta.

Cool video!
Interesting dam. Loved the orbit of the church.

Yep, nice flying. Do you know how old the church is by the way?

Nice video, good flying.

We stayed at the Kirkman House, near the church, a couple of times during our various motorcycle adventures.
