I've just recently started shooting twilight drone shots with a DJI Phantom 4. I'm shooting brackets of 5 and hand blending in lightroom/photoshop. Would love to hear some feedback on these in regards to areas of improvement. TIA
Is there a phone that takes natural-looking night photos? I can't stand photos that are overexposed all over.
Which phone takes natural-looking yet flattering selfies? Is OPPO or vivo better?
Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

Hi Ian,
These are surperb shots. The twilight made a real difference. I have done these as well but as city scapes, overall very satisfying results .
The time frame for these shots is limited and fleeting. Your terrain is interesting, plenty of texture. (Difference btw coasts, I'm Florida.)
Question though, does the dji cam have bracketing capability?
I fly yuneek and the q500 takes a bit of doing to change exposure.
Can you describe your bracketing process for dji
further. Thanks, Florida Phil
Hi Phil, Thanks for the feedback. The DJI Phantom 4 does have built in bracketing; either 3 or 5 images per bracket. I use 3 images for daylight shots and 5 for twilights.
Pleasant shots though they dont seem that sharp to me. Some of the greens feel mushy. I guess thats just a limitation of shooting with a drone camera. U could probably boost the greens luminosity a bit as well, some of them feel too dark.
Agreed, I was shying away from sharpening to avoid introducing noise since these were taken at ISO 400 but I think it's worth it to get the image looking sharper. I also took your advice on the greens and it's a definite improvement. Thanks for the feedback.
Looks good, I think the result on the non driveway side of the house looks more natural.
I would use selective masking when you do these types of adjustments so you avoid having parts of your image that are already kind of bright from going nuclear green.
