[TheSmartWoodshop]

Good tips! No matter what the mission: building a house, sailing around the world, or flying a drone preparation is the key.

I'm a pretty experienced land-based photographer and I'm relatively new to drain photography I would use burst mode for most of my shots especially when you get down to low shadow speeds of say 1:15 I will use an nd64 and even an nd1000 to create mini long exposures where I can get some motion blur in the water if you are going to do this use the burst mode x 5 it works really well I'm guaranteed one of the images will be sharp the other tip that I would use is to use filters because they do make a difference but don't use the pl is this just add saturation which you don't need thanks for your video and yes I will subscribe😂

Listening for drone tips but what i mostly get is dji tips. Cant anyone teach anything about drones without updating us about dji??? My god!

Heads up, AEB shoots at reduced mp size. for example, on the mini 3 pro, standard photos are 48mp while AEB sets are 12mp.
For highest resolution, shoot manually and bracket a couple stops below and above yourself.

Some of the best advice I've heard, great work just subbed.

[craigdavo]

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Do you have a lightroom tutorial from start to finish for example importing the AEB images and then editing?

[rickymundy]

Great tutorial Mark. I’m thinking about buying a drone for my photography. Any suggestions for the best camera drone for stills. Thank again

[IdaRose-sy]

Thank you! I've watched several of these tips videos from other creators, and this one had several tips I hadn't heard before.

I'm new to drone photography with my DJI Mini 2 SE. Both (drone + photography) is my favorites. I like to learn more and more and I found your channel. Thank you for great advice

Set to auto. Drone camera will guess the best white balance of the scene. Switch back to manual. Boom, your white balance is set. Proceed to take pictures.

[mervynsands]

Excellent, you hit all the salient points to watch out for.
Good drone camming, 👏 👍

[BackDaws]

Does DJI's quick shots and light cut use the raw format when editing ?

[TriniWeekes]

Thank you so much for this great info. I am about to pick up a mavic 3 and wanted to start taking some beautiful photos like the ones in your video. I have a couple of questions?
1. What software will you recommend for editing my pics??
2. Do you recommend I get a set of ND filters for photos??

[westyorkshiretraveller]

We love you Mark. You always helped me push further with photography and inspire me in each video. Your amazing

[dansearle]

Thanks again Mark for some awesome tips. Your channel truly is under appreciated. You should be well over 1m subs given how good your content, advice and tutorials are!!

@7:03 is that sign genuine or just a land owner wishing to make you buy a licence to take photos?

Just a note. If highlites are blown out, it is not possible to develop detail in those highlites.
