This is my first long exposure shot with Mivic Mini. It's a shot of Panathenaic Stadium in Athens Greece, from 50 meters high. The settings I used were ISO:100 and Shutter speed: 2sec. I would be happy to hear from you the settings you choose for long exposure shots.
  
  
The stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by Lycurgus in 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century it was largely abandoned. The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After being refurbished, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for 4 of the 9 contested sports. It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon. It is also the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place.

That's turned out really well. Not a technique I've used, myself. Haven't done any night flying with the Mini.

Thanks Blériot53, I used all the shutter speeds from 1sec to 4sec to see the results this was the shot I liked more. Next time I will use a different ISO (200 or more) and different shutter speed to see the results

Well, it was certainly worth the effort

Thanks Depp!! When I set shutter speed to 4sec the result didn't impress me much, but I have to try with other ISO too

Thanks Montfrooij  . What settings do you usually use?

You're welcome.
Here in NL I am not allowed to fly in the dark, so it was a long time ago that I made long exposure shots.
If I remember correctly it went 'blurry' from 1/10 and above.
So I had to make many shots and hope some were sharp.

This is what I did too. You have to try with several settings every time and then see which give you the best result

You have to experiment a lot and find the appropriate settings for each time of the day, but it worth it
