Pic(k) of the week 38: DESERT TREE AERIAL - Mavic 2 Pro
When I first got my DJI Mavic 2 Pro 8 months ago, shooting desert aerials was high on the list of things to do with the drone! While dunes naturally have great shapes and patterns by themselves, including an oasis with some trees, makes it even more interesting.
Such was the case in the image below, where a small bowl of trees was hit by perfect sunset light. I was partially attracted by the hard lines of the dune going from the top left to top right. Positioning the drone with this line diagonally across is so much easier than when shooting from an actual aircraft. Flying the real thing, is however still so much more fun...
Image details:
- DJI Mavic 2 Pro
- ISO 100, f4, 1/200s
- Lightroom CC for RAW development
- Photoshop CC for clean-up of some small distractions
- DxO Nik ColorEfex Pro4 for optimal contrast
I'm just about to send out some aerials shot with the Mavic 2 for printing on Dibond (metal print) and can't wait to see the result!
My Aerial portfolio which now holds a few drone images as well, can be found here.
Once again, if flying drones make sure to fly them responsibly and legally; only fly where you are allowed to and limit your altitude to the legal one!
Remember: "Owning a drone does not automatically make you a pilot"
