Best fireworks for July 4th are sometimes what nature provides. Photographed over the Great Marsh, this thunderhead over the Delaware Bay at sunset last evening was one of those events. To get it all, the drone was the ticket. Despite getting up high enough to see it all and despite the wide-angle lens capabilities, it wasn't enough. It took 8 views stitched together to pull it all together, 4 x 2 (vertical x horizontal). Each of those 8 views consisted or 5 bracketed exposures for an HDR stack, as the exposure range was extreme. So it took 40 pictures in total, all stitched together to get this image. 2023 July 4 - DJI Mavic 3 Cine Hasselblad L2D-20C F3.2 1/320 ISO 100 24mm (35 mm equiv) Adobe Camera Raw for HDR blends and Pano stitches - Topaz Photo AI for noise removal / sharpening - Topaz Studio for finishing touches along with Photoshop.
