Aerial photography / Videography thread

I know there is a mulitrotor discussion thread already but it would be nice to have somewhere to share our images and footage.

I'll start off with one of my images looking over Southampton with my Phantom 3

Cheers bud, its not amazingly sharp but I'm quite pleased with the few that I took that night.

very nice work mate! Lovely colour grading. Absolutely love the dog chase shot lol, I have been meaning to try something like that with my mutts

sunlitsix, your videos are brilliant, I have the same drone as yourself (everything standard except a couple of guards) and I can't seem to get video anywhere near as smooth as yours, any sort of non-yaw shots just turn into jelly, any chance you could share your set up to see where I've borked up mine?

Do you use ND filters, sounds like your shutter speed is a little high. Ideally it should be about 2x the frame rate.

dtokez, do you have any aerial photos from the Bitterne area?

Hi mate, yes a few from the Bitterne park area, Riverside park etc - anywhere in particular?

I learnt that the hard way. Surprising how often i need to use a nd32 filter to get the shutter speed to 2 x frame rate.

Indeed yeah! In full sunlight it is surprising. I always shoot at 50fps which helps a bit

Here is few movies I've made, not had much time the last few months to get out and use my drone.

Been away from here for a while but they are great. Really love the foggy sunrise

Filters are only good for video on drones, for dropping the shutter speed to achieve better motion blur, not worth using for images at all

Just started processing some of the backlog from the summer!
