Photography is rather easy when you spend some time with it.
But at first all the new terminology is overwhelming.
Especially when you have a $$$ bird that is carrying your little camera and you need to focus on flying that thing also.
Now let's start with the photography.
The Mavic Pro is a 'medicore' camera, so you need to have good light and little contrast to make the most out of it.
Your subjects are very high on contrast (white show, dark rocks), that won't help when you use the Mavic's little sensor (even expensive DSLR's will have some trouble with this).
So no shame on you at all. This is tough with Mavic.
What I like to do with the MP is this:
- Shoot RAW only (dng), that will require post processing, but it gives you the most options in post.
- Make sure your profile is 'flat' (looks dull, but again, you get the most options in post)
- Get your histogram on the screen and make sure you do not hit the right part (that is all white) because you can never recover all white parts)
To learn the basic technical stuff, I would advice to put the Mavic on the table (outdoor) or something and start taking pictures without worrying about the flying part.
I don't have a 'how to for dummies' ready, but I'm sure there are more video's on youtube on this topic than you can watch in a lifetime.
Transfer your pictures to a PC and see if the outcome is good.
Test other settings and so on. |
