I haven't posted any of my Spark pics here, so I thought I'd share a few. Love this little bird.

Great shots. I particularly liked the sunset shot - great colours.

That second shot is fantastic, really gives you an idea of the distance.

Colours are amazing,,great shots..

Suoer photos, in your Wilmington Downtown photo, how did you manage to get detail in both the shadows and brighter parts?  You've managed both and its a stunning photo.

Great pictures. This little drone is so capable. Fantastic images.

Fanatic photos and colors.

very nice

well done

Some 'slight' tweaks in Photoshop's Shadows/Highlights slider ;)

Thank you!

I have been so looking forward to shooting some
night cityscapes, but I was sadly reminded yesterday
at an FAA UAS seminar that I can't legally fly past 30
minutes after sunset. But after thinking about it,
that should still give me a short window to try some
single image stills or HDR's.

What time was the top image taken.

Nice work!

The night photo above was taken before it was completely dark and there was still some colour in the sky, which is generally preferable for night shots. I would think that thirty minutes after sunset would be okay for that.

After digging into it, it was taken exactly 20 minutes after sunset

Sunset the night of the downtown shot was at 5:04pm (it was last November). Metadata shows image was captured at 5:24pm.

I figured so. Thanks for the confirmation.

BTW, I meant to compliment you on the photos but it appears I forgot to. Besides the brilliant colours, they're great compositions. My favourite is probably "marsh overhead" but they're all cool photos.
