Slowly getting the hang of this long exposure photography with the Mavic Pro 2 & using PolarPro Exposure ND Collection. This whole weekend the winds were blowing pretty hard. The problem with that is trying to keep the MP2 stationery without the wind blowing it & shaking the drone while doing a 1-second exposure. So for this shot, I hovered & took 6 shots, maybe more. The rocks are slightly out of focus, just a hair! I did get the effect that I was looking for of slowing down the water movements to get that silky, misty look & feel to it. My friend was also flying his drone & there was another one in that small airspace so we had to keep an eye out for each other.
As I've said before we learn from our failures, that's how we become better & more experienced in our craft. I have not only learned to respect the ocean & it's powerful waves that crash on the shoreline but now have learned to respect the air above me!
Aloha a hui hou my friends!
