"Journey through an opaque and darkening winter landscape of wooded mountains while being swallowed by thick, inescapable fog."

Themes of darkness, mystery, and even death, all loom enigmatically throughout this, my latest work - which I've brought to share with you, my good friends who use this forum. Most all the color work was achieved using default color profile of the Mavic 2 Pro, but a few scenes did require a single LUT, "Pure Master", from SpectrumGrades' set "Pure", to achieve the look I wanted.

I welcome your thoughts, opinions, and questions, as always.

Stay well, friends.  

Fantastic footage.

Magnifiic work! Amazing images! Many thanks for sharing with us!

Stunning work, as always!

Very surreal, with fitting music. Thanks!

AJ, thank you. Your continually given words of kindness and encouragement are very appreciated. That we both also share the initials “AJ” adds icing to the cake!

It’s nice to connect with you, Danby, and for the first time as well, I do believe. Surreal was most certainty the vibe I was aiming for. As to musical selection, it can be such a driving force behind non-verbal storytelling. Finding the right musical selections often takes me a long while, both the discovery and mental storyboarding phases (as I listen to a selected piece again and again). Interestingly, that particular process is one of my favorites moments of my video creation process.

Hello and good day LUX.aerial. Thank you for sharing this amazing video you have filmed using your DJI Mavic 2 Pro. The scenery looks amazing for above. Just a reminder that flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet,leading to temporarily failure. The gimbal will recover it's full function once it is dry. Again great work and fly safe always.

Duly noted, sir. That's good advice indeed. I was very careful to position the drone ahead of the incoming fog, continually pulling the craft back as the mass advanced. I did so for the very reason you stated, namely utilizing a safe flight procedure that accounts for hardware limitations which may give rise to problems while operating in such adverse weather conditions. My secondary reason is a more obvious one, that there is little of interest to film inside a thickening mass of fog... it's a total white-out visually (and likely a sensor malfunction waiting to happen).
