Stellar video! Loved the flybys and the ice pattern.

Thank you! Yes i was lucky to be there at the right time when the ice was forming and creating these patterns. I guess by now it's frozen over and probably ready for ice skating

Outstanding! Your video would be a good teaching model. Good subject. Varying cinematic shots. Editing techniques.

Wow! Just Wow! Very instructive on how to fly/video/edit. I'm a slug

Really tastefully done. Great use of perspective to show size and proportion.

Maik, very nice !
Fantastic setting, loved the high ridge close filming, like some of the FPV cinematic vids, but on Xanax.
Did you use camera settings mostly for the high intensity whiteness of the surrounds, and if you used an ND what number ?

Yes, I'd love to try FPV someday, but the videos are often too fast for my taste.

With the Mavic 2 Pro I can adjust the aperture.
I found that with an ND-8 Filter I'm ready for any situation at 1/60 and ISO 100.
So i constantly have an ND-8 Filter on and adjust the aperture during filming to the situation.
To be honest I haven't taken the ND-8 off since I first put it on It works from Golden hour lighting up to the whitest snowfields. I'd probably switch to ND-4 in very low light like Sunrise or Sunset and leave it off for blue hour shots (haven't tried it yet and here in Switzerland we're not allowed to fly at night)

Several people have called your video "beautiful". Heck, that's what I was going to say!

Thank you! Yes, it was a lot of fun, and i could combine it with my enjoyment of nature by walking around this beautiful lake!

Hard to compete with such a fantastic landscape, we are happy to see several such films from you.

Wow! That was beautiful! My favourite part was the 'broken' ice patterns. Wonderfully captured!

Simply great!

It's true we're lucky here... Thank you! There'll be less during the winter, but in spring I'll do more!

Thank you! Yes i was very lucky the lake was just in the process of freezing and creating these patterns
