How to shoot long exposure photos with the DJI Mavic Pro drone

I love shooting long exposure drone photos with my Mavic and Phantoms. You get to see the ocean in new ways with these aerial platforms and long exposure photos really bring out the beauty of the ocean. In this video, I go through how I quickly setup my DJI Mavic Pro to shoot long exposure photos using ND Filters.

Incredible that the Mavic stays stable enough that the picture doesn't get blurry.

Just depends how far away or close you are.

Yeah also if there's much wind about it's pretty tricky - unless you want everything moving! - but can get some beautiful photos :)

Excellent post, Aldryn. It's amazing that the Mavic is stable enough for long exposures. It's also amazing that you were that calm while your drone was out over the ocean.

@FlytPath 7 жыл бұрын

Long exposures still have some movement in the photo is you are too close to your subject. I actually feel more comfortable over water. Shooting around birds is what scares me.

@@FlytPathFlytPath, No worries, let's call a spade a spade, you make great videos and I have now become a great soon to be Airmen. I NEED help with post-production in Final Cut Pro, just learning the color grading. fund stuff a? I think i only have a few videos up b/c i had to send me in my Mavic b/c the camera and gimbal needed to be replaced. Anyhow, they are sending me a new one out of my Dji Refresh pkg since it was more money to fix the drone. Per UPS, i should have my MP on Friday.. I will upload another video as well.

great info on the nd filters, thanks! i wonder how much wind and stability of mavic play a factor with the longer shutter speeds? i plan on using for similar photos but figured it might to some time to determine if there's any movement that would make you have a faster shutter speed than you'd like?

Can you comment on using a Mavic versus Phantom for photos you intend to print? What are the limitations advantages/drawbacks to one over the other? Thanks! Excellent content!

@scottmac386 7 жыл бұрын

Great stuff! I'm here in North C ounty and if you ever shoot up this way or fly up this way please let me know! Would you say that those setting are the same for the P4? I'll have to get out and try it in low light and see what I can do.. Pictures look great and thanks for taking the time! It motivates me to get out and try some things. Best Scott

@FlytPath 7 жыл бұрын

Yes same concept applies. Try going out earlier or later than I did to get longer exposures. I was only able to get a 1 second exposure because there was a lot of light already

Just subd. Very nice video and demo. I have tried to watch someone do the same with the phantom 3 advanced that i fly and haven't seen one that i like. You gave the best description of the science between light aperture etc and filters I have seen so far. Keep up the good work. I have the flying down pretty well but I really am more interested In fine tuning the camera not just for long exposure settings I would like to get some nighttime long exposures with the traffic headlights and taillight blurring. But most of my time is in the day and auto exposure just wont do it all.

@FlytPath 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the words Chris. Ya the same principal works for night time car light exposure. Tag me when you post some online. Happy shooting.
