Nice shot! Where are you from? I grew up in the Redford and Dearborn Heights areas.

This was an 8 second exposure, iso 100, F 2.8, taken with a 3 stop gradient ND filter in Northern California.

My Mavic 2 Pro isn’t staying at its point, it rotates very slowly, so I can’t even do long exposures with only 1 sec., in the tripod-mode too... any ideas what I am doing wrong? Greetings from Germany ??

with some editing to let it look like an oil-painting I‘ve created this one of an old senatorium in Germany ??, it’s a very creepy lost-place

Nice framing. Colors look distractingly off, though.

Thanks for your honest critique. I agree. Here is another version with some post exposure adjustments made on my phone. Next time I may try a darker graduated ND and shoot a few minutes earlier in order to better expose the foreground.

Think about using some masking in Photoshop or Lightroom to adjust sky and ground separately. Will improve further.

Earlier Tonight

Salesforce phallus really dominates the skyline now, huh?

Here’s one I took entering Albuquerque NM from the east on I-40. We have a cool light feature that welcomes motorists that I was able to capture along with the city lights

Most likely compass related issue. Try calibration in an open field away from any magnetic or metal objects

How did you manage a 8 second? I'm struggling with a 1 second not being full of motion blur on my M2P

My MP2 Pro has no problems with long exposures unless it is very windy. Maybe your compass needs calibration?

 

[Ray Dunakin]

Awesome shots! The MP2 must have better stability than the original MP to hold still enough for such long exposures.

Here's a 5 second daytime long exposure shot over the break water wall and lighthouse in Holland, Michigan with my MP2 using a 10 stop ND filter.

Thanks, sorry Steve but the shots were not made with a drone
cheers Paul

It would be awesome if our drones could do 30 second exposures. For now, I’m happy they can do 8.
