Although I didn’t wanted to “compete” with you, I have decided to show you some additional photos so you try to understand better that there are levels in this game and your definition of editing as “composite” is far from reality...

Below you can find a snip of 500px. I don’t expect you to know what that is so FYI, it is probably the biggest photography website in the world where members of the community vote for the best photos of a particular week. Serge Ramelli between other photographers have taken 1st place several times.

Nobody cares about you bragging, you posted a fake photo still can’t admit it and we still haven’t seen your drone photo, you talk a lot about the camera let’s see what you’ve done with it.

Aren’t you banned for life .

This is a drone forum when is that going to get through to you.

You have been banned for life on this forum, I’m now starting to believe you don’t even own o drone.

So no comments about the photos lol? Perhaps you can show us some of your achievements?Who is whining about the Air 2? Posting a video and stating the obvious is winning...? Are you taking your medication? (I don't mean Viagra, that doesn't count)

I am not banned Hallmark, I am here, proving you wrong again and again...

Comment the second one is another composited sky there’s a comment and it’s true.

Well you do, you sound more butt hurt than usually...

You see composites everywhere don’t you? It happens all of the time, people always try to justify the lack of talent with comments like: this photo is edited or you have a better camera... sounds familiar?

I will share the trick with you: you take 3 to 5 bracketed shots and you merge them in Lightroom to preserve the highlights. You can also shoot for the highlights if you camera has a modern sensor capable of handling the dynamic range. Then, you lower the highlights and increase the shadows. Add some clarity, saturation, adjust the WB and color temperature, add some sharpness, mask it to limit it to the edges and voila... of course, learning the rules takes a lit more effort and practice. Not being a stubborn disrespectful and dishonest @ss also helps, otherwise it is difficult to learn... close minded you know ;)

Maybe show us your bracketed photos professional ones taken with your drone.

I’m convinced you only come here to post your composite photos taken with your shiny Nikon, but this is a drone forum, surely you understand that, we’re you dropped when you were a baby, is it a Russian Gypsy thing to bounce their children on their heads to dumb them up .

Look another Icelandic composite lol
RAW photo (this time with my bud in the frame), using a 6 Stop graduated ND in combination with a polarized filter and converted to black & white). Does it look like a composite to you Wallmart?

You sound very racist and those discriminatory adjectives... Russian... gipsy... adopted... you do realize you’re gonna get banned again don’t you?

More composites for your eyes only (!)

I thought you posted to avoid HDR????   Bracketing and merging shots is HDR.

Hi DAFlys, I was refering to HDR video.

However, I can explain my position when shooting HDR in camera: usually this process takes a lot of power and therefore the algorithm compresses the data quite a bit in order to do so. Don't forget that the same resources are used to keep the drone flying so computational processing can introduce artifacts and other unwanted aberrations in your image.The same happens when shooting JPEG vs RAW. The first, bakes the parameters into the photo (color, saturation, contrast, etc) while the second allows for manual control of each attribute separately.

Combining bracketed shots in post using a computer not only gives greater flexibility but allows to exploit the full latitude and dynamic range according to the sensor's capabilities.

Obviously and as I stated above, if the OP isn't familiar with post processing or doesn't want to spend the necessary time, in body HDR might still be a good solution and compromise between preserving detail in the  shadows and avoiding blowing-out the highlights. HDR is not the devil but manual processing offers the best image quality

Ah gotcha ya,  I misunderstood.
