    New Florida Drone Law on Governor's Desk for signature

    I live just minutes from Seaside, in between Panama City Beach and Destin and haven't ever had any issues flying in the area. I will say, some of the communities that have security (Seaside, for example), might have an officer that might sat skins thing if you go over the residential areas...

    Nice work! Wish I had a house that big! Video looks great! Can you share your camera settings and post process?

    Bracketed/Exposure Fusion Photos of the Beach

    @The Editor is correct. I merged them using the Exposure Fusion setting in HDR Soft's Photomatrix Pro 5 and increased the vibrance, sharpness, contrast and tweaked some other things in photoshop.

    Bracketed/Exposure Fusion Photos of the Beach

    Are you sure? I'm not using them, but I have the inspire setup to take jpg and raw in bracketed photos and it seems like it's doing the bracketed shots in addition to the jpgs. Reference this screen shot from Lightroom where I imported them.

    Bracketed/Exposure Fusion Photos of the Beach

    Haha!! I always shoot in jpg and raw (dng), but i always use the jpg version for my edits since I'm just merging the photos. I could use raw, but jpgs process quicker. I use the log color profile - it's super flat. But I've found that's the best one to eliminate all noise. I drop the...

    Bracketed/Exposure Fusion Photos of the Beach

    Just wanted to share some photos from a recent shoot of some of our beach rental properties. Shot in Log, exposure settings on full auto, used 5 bracketed shots merged using Exposure Fusion, natural using HDRSoft's Photomatrix 5. The first one is in Panama City Beach, FL and the second is in...

    Inspire 1 Smart Charger

    You could just print your own housing and fill it in with dji chargers like Adam savage did! After seeing his rig I seriously almost bought a 3d printer!

    Inspire 1 is dead

    You know, when I first read the release and feature set of the P3, I literally hit the lock button on my phone, put it down and said, "this is crap." Of course, I followed that action by opening my phone back up and searching the forums for the thoughts of others. I think this is a...

    Inspire 1 4k Bahamas!

    Did you fly it down there? Or did you go there in a cruise? I've always been curious on whether I'd have trouble brining one down there. Did you have any issues with local authorities?

    HDR with Inspire 1

    Here are some shots I took yesterday. Not really the typical contrasty HDR, but I use HDRSoft's Photomatrix Pro's Exposure Fusion settings. I'll have a lot more soon as most of the shots I'll do in the sky will be 5 shot brackets.

    What did you do for the tilt-shift effect? Just a process in post?

    Been Experimenting with Camera Settings - Found a Winning Combo

    I had seen that AE lock button but hadn't tried it out yet. I'll have to experiment with that! Thanks for the discussion on this as I hadn't realized how it was used or how I could easily set it up using the automatic adjustments. I still don't get the 18% gray card bit, I'll have to get...

    Been Experimenting with Camera Settings - Found a Winning Combo

    I gotta say, the bracketing function was a hidden gem that I had no idea we had until I stumbled on something about it in another thread. For years I've used this type of process regarding shooting and processing real estate photos. It's super easy, the only tricky part is composure - the...
