One of the communities my brother and I visited on our adventure to Guatemala is called Comalapa, famous for its paintings and art scenes. We helped create a documentary about some painters in the area. While capturing some B roll with my drone, I took some interesting aerial landscapes showing how integrated the community farms and gardens are into the community.

I shot this photo with my Mavic Mini Generation 1 with a CPL filter to avoid some glare issues I faced on an earlier flight. I kept the drone on auto settings while taking photos, but the settings for this photo are as follows:

f/2.8 @ 1/500 seconds, with an ISO of 100.

I edited the photo in Adobe Lightroom to try to bring out the greens of the community gardens and the reds of the rusting roofs. I also increased the brightness of the shadows to make the roads a little clearer.
