now let's make some considerations
once a friend of mine told me
"When people see my work, they often talk about how crazy I am for flying over water so much.
The truth is, I actually feel safer flying over water than I do over land.
There is almost nothing to crash into when flying over water. "
Sure, you need to be aware of boats, people, and wildlife, but there are no trees, mountains, or buildings.

of TIPS there could be so many ...

certainly the first advice I think is correct to say is:

1st flies in respect of people, privacy and laws
2nd many checks, before and after each flight to increase safety
3rd good planning of each flight
4th WEATHER checks that there is no rain coming in or that the wind will be too strong

tell me what you think
suggestions to improve it?LANDING AT 30% BATTERY AND BEFORE THE FAILSAFE 10%
Tip
fully charge the batteries only when you need …
When Charging the batteries days and days  in advance …
we will found they little bit uncharged when we will use them

battery second tips
It is important to land with reserve power, because if something goes wrong and you are forced to delay the landing
it is necessary enough time to find a new landing spot and solve the problem.

I mean
sometime when we filming over water , wind direction and speed can change making difficult back at our home point  or maybe we need extra time to do it ...
so my suggestion about battery level when we are filming over water is think to back at home with 30% battery power

-----------------------------


exposure
to obtain a correct exposure one of the main things to check is the
HISTOGRAM




there are so many factors ...
for example
your device display could have different  set up from your  camera drone
maybe this could be withe or with brillant colors
so that you are feeling to  increase aperture or shutter speed to adjust what you are see on your dispay
but ... in the same time ...
drone camera are filming already a super clip
that's why it's so important to check histogram and belive in this ...
him reports exactly what the drone's camera is seeing ... the amount of light passing through its sensor


another factor you have surely heard about is the ratio aspect
shutter speed twice the set fps

what does it mean ?
50fps = 100 shutter speed
25fps = 50 shutter speed

but how do we set the correct shutter speed on a sunny day?
we probably need a high speed

in this case the ND filters are helpful

but pay attention to their quality

I used a good quality polarized ND8 for almost all of the above video footage


I filmed some friends surfing ..
but if I could have chosen the time I would have chosen a time close to sunset
golden hours
the best for filming
the shadows are exaggeratedly beautiful
the beautiful colors tend to red and yellow (warm)
and the light will not be as strong as in the late morning

so when you can choose the right time to fiming

post production
I'm using final cut pro (iOS)
download link 90 days free version

what are you using to edit your videos?

how about if we talk a little bit about post production?
do you use LUTs? do you already know what they are?

Very nice. Like the pics best. Not a great fan of those black stripes to make it seem more cinematic but the effect of waves spilling over the bars is awesome!

Nicely done

Very nice work!

thanks for watching all the videos
the wave that seems to come out effect  is very special and I was glad you liked it

I had seen a similar effect here on the forum ... but in that case they were clouds ...

so I decided to experiment ... try to replicate something similar ...
and here I used the waves ...

using final cut pro ... it's not so hard ...
but the result can sometimes be very interesting
as you rightly noticed

thanks again for your comment

Very true.
Learning, teaching, getting inspired.
All in one place.
Youtube is more wide audience, but less deep in the drone discussion of course.
