8 second exposure at 400 ISO on a Phantom 3 Standard. Lots of noise, but has some nice trails from vehicle lights. The green lights from a big rig was a nice surprise.

Cool... I like that. ;-)

Thanks RedHotPoker!  It was a fun shot to take.  Other than direction and some lights,  you have no idea what the image will look like until it hits post processing. Fun results

Thank you Bracco.  I was surprised that with such a long exposure the drone held that steady. There is some blurring, but not much considering.

How long did you set the exposure for? I have a busy freeway at the end of the property here, and have often considered a long times pic, for the light trails at night.


Thanks for sharing your pic. ;-)

It was an 8 second exposure.

It was an 8 second exposure.

Then you did very well.
I would have thought the air currents and light breeze could have caused a much more blurry image.

So that turned out very well.

When doing long exposures on a tripod they teach not to touch the camera. Use a timer, cable, or remote release. Doesn't get much more remote than 115m overhead ;)

Yes, Sontrue. I have a Nikon D800 with 80-400mm lens attached for my dslr photography.
Useing an awesome Vanguard Alta Pro 293AT tripod with it.

Nice photo that looks like a shoe, or something.

Thanks!  Long exposures are a bit abstract, allowing for fun interpretations.
