Had another fly today near Wijhe, the water in the river (IJssel) is still quite high and there are a lot of birds (mostly geese) chillin' there. I know it's a bit long and some may not like the 'overlit' reflection of the sun in the water, but I kinda like the effect

I hope you like it!

Pretty nice!

Beautiful place. Love the birds flying. There's no way to prevent the blown out highlights except darkening the picture very much or using HDR mode which the Mini 2 doesn't have.

Thanks for your feedback! I guess you're right about the blown out highlights, so for now I'll leave them ;)

Nicely done.

Thanks! Yeah, I know, still a bit afraid when maneuvering near other flying objects/creatures

Thanks! I really live in a beautiful part of The Netherlands

Thanks, I guess you could make comparable footage close to your house?

Thanks a lot!

I thought it was fantastic!
Man you have a lot of geese! and they all seem to have the gees.
Loved the effect when the flapped their wings, like sparkles.
We have many many egyptian geese here - noisy buggers!
And what lick! You managed to pull a rabit out of the proverbial hat!
Well done!

Thanks a lot for your reply, the sparkles and the rabbits were nice extras indeed
And yeah, they are pretty noisy too

You're welcome.
Yes I could.
In fact, I have.
But I have to edit it.

We live in such a beautiful area!

O/T: Which software do you use for editing?

Very true!
I use Sony Vegas Pro 14
But I'm looking to find a replacement and have been trying Resolve a couple of times.
Editing is not as quick as with Vegas,  but the rendering is.

That's funny, I downloaded Resolve (if you refer to DaVinci Revolve) too and actually edited my last video (the one with the swans) with it. It does need some getting used too, but am quite happy with it. I've got the 17.1 Beta which is optimized for use with my M1 Mac, works pretty well!

I have been using it for specific tasks since 14 (mainly motion tracking)
Davinci Resolve indeed.
But some simple tasks editing (that i use quite often) take much more time than in Vegas Pro.
I can edit my drone video in <10 min in Vegas because it has these handy ways.
Have to dive into DR more.

Nice, what Mac do you have?

I found out that there are a lot of YouTube tutorials covering a lot of different tasks and shortcuts for DR, maybe you can find some useful tips over there

I've got the latest MacBook Pro (first Apple based computer I've ever owned) and I am pretty impressed with it and the power of that M1-soc.

Oh nice.
That has been on my list too, but I have not found the priority to get it funded here.

It's quite an investment, that's for sure...

Armando80 Posted at 3-7 10:41

Exactly.
Which one did you get?

The 'cheapest' one (with 8 GB internal memory and 256GB SSD).

Good job
