These are pictures of the largest animal known to have graced planet Earth - The Blue Whale.  These images were taken with the Mavic Air. I have dreamed of seeing a blue whale since i was 5 years old, and to think I would be out taking photos and filming them, is a dream come true. Due to unsuitable landing facilities on the vessel I could not manage to use the Inspire 2,  but thanks to the portability of the Mavic Air, I had the right drone for the job.  An unforgettable experience and I'm so excited that I'll be doing this regularly over the next few months.  Stay tuned for future images and video footage.

Thanks. Appreciate your compliment.
But I kind of feel like you're posting all these just to get points
At least consider posting something more useful.

Points? No, I don't - when you have over 30,000, points don't matter. It's called acknowledgement of peoples effort - which most find appreciative (as I do) but as you don't I won't bother in future with your posts. Take care!

Beautiful shot

Sky is slightly overexposed. Lowering the exposure when capturing, adding saturation and increasing the brightness of the shadows in post would definitely help

Thanks for the tip. I have a lot to learn still!

That's a stunning shot!

Got some of those

The search for the remains of a ship wreck.
The islanders knew it was out there, but could not say exactly where.
The very strong currents and shallow water over the rocks make it hard to reach by boat.
A powerful boat can head into the current under full power and not make any headway.

Good find - the story makes the footage more interesting too. Nicely done!

Thanks for your valued comment.
By the way, someone mentioned points. Where do these show up and what's the point (pun) anyway.  I just like to see others work and chuck my hat in the ring from time to time. Not sure points are of any interest to me.

You receive points for every reply, post etc. that you can redeem for credits on your DJI account. So the more you contribute to the forum the more points you will obviously receive. Like you, I just enjoy looking at other peoples work and acknowledging the efforts though I have also helped out loads of people on here too with trouble shooting during my time on the forum. I guess some people just don't like others having more points than them LOL Best not to take this specific thread off topic but there are loads of posts on the forum about the point structure if that is of interest to you.

The Island:
The Island is a 4K cinematic film about one of the TOP Islands in the World. Sardegna's (Sardinia) name is from the pre-Roman noun *s(a)rd-, later romanised as sardus (feminine sarda). It makes its first appearance on the Nora Stone, where the word Šrdn testifies to the name's existence when the Phoenician merchants first arrived. According to Timaeus, one of Plato's dialogues, Sardinia and its people as well might have been named after Sardò (Σαρδώ), a legendary woman born in Sardis (Σάρδεις), capital of the ancient Kingdom of Lydia. There has also been speculation that identifies the ancient Nuragic Sards with the Sherden, one of the Sea Peoples. It is suggested that the name had a religious connotation from its use also as the adjective for the ancient Sardinian mythological hero-god Sardus Pater "Sardinian Father" (in modern times misunderstood as being "Father Sardus"), as well as being the stem of the adjective "sardonic". In Classical antiquity, Sardinia was called Ichnusa (the Latinised form of Ancient Greek: Υκνούσσα), Σανδάλιον "Sandal", Sardinia and Sardó (Σαρδώ).
Beach Beauties
Sardinia has some of the dreamiest beaches you’ll find without stepping off European shores. Yes, the sand really is that white, and the sea the bluest blue. Imagine dropping anchor in Costa Smeralda’s scalloped bays, where celebrities and supermodels frolic in emerald waters; playing castaway on the Golfo di Orosei’s coves, where sheer cliffs ensure seclusion; or sailing to La Maddalena’s cluster of granite islands. Whether you're walking barefoot across the dunes on the wave-lashed Costa Verde or lounging on the Costa del Sud’s silky smooth bays, unroll your beach towel and you’ll never want to leave.
Outdoor Adventures
Whether you go slow or fast, choose coast or country, Sardinia is one of Europe’s last great island adventures. Hike through the lush, silent interior to the twilight of Tiscali’s nuraghic ruins. Walk the vertiginous coastal path to the crescent-shaped bay of Cala Luna, where climbers spider up the limestone cliffs. Or ramble through holm oak forests to the mighty boulder-strewn canyon of Gola Su Gorropu. The sea’s allure is irresistible to windsurfers on the north coast, while divers wax lyrical about shipwrecks off Cagliari’s coast, the underwater Nereo Cave and Nora’s submerged Roman ruins.
Island of Idiosyncrasies
As DH Lawrence so succinctly put it: ‘Sardinia is different’. Indeed, where else but here can you go from near-alpine forests to snow-white beaches, or find wildlife oddities such as the blue-eyed albino donkeys on the Isola dell’Asinara and the wild horses that shyly roam Giara di Gesturi. The island is also a culinary one-off, with distinct takes on pasta, bread and dolci, its own wines (Vermentino whites, Cannonau reds) and cheeses – including maggoty casu marzu pecorino, stashed away in barns in the mountainous interior. In every way we can think of Sardinia is different, and all the more loveable for it.

Appreciate all your comments. Seriously though, I just don't like these kind of threads to be cluttered by short and similar comments in between great posts. I'm not stopping you from posting but that's just my opinion. I hope I don't sound like I don't appreciate your comments, in fact I do. But I just wish it was a little more specific and different like: Great shot. Really like the angle/color/composition/etc. of the ………

Lovely image - using the bridge as a focal point really makes it!
