Battleship Camden, NJ

Just seen it on IG. Nice steely glint to the water.

Remarkable capture.  Most fitting that it is in monochrome.  

very nice shoot

You're welcome

Looks impressive, both the ship and the picture in general

Thank you. I wish there wasn't so much glare. It would have been nice to have a polarizer on the drone but I don't own one.

Mustn’t have any anti drone missiles fitted

Great Shot

Very cool, I'll check it out!

Using polarizers is still something I ought to learn myself, I do have some for my Pocket 2 but still haven't learnt to adjust them in a way that eliminated the reflections and glare in a way I hoped.

Impressive, great work!

It's a bit tricky but worth it to take the glare off water and windows.

Guess I should take some time one day to do some practice with them.

It's worth the time. ND filters especially for those dramatic sunsets. Then you can experiment with some long exposure.

I have used some basic ND filters sometimes, and they have proven to be worth the money. Gives a lot of leeway in adjusting the shutter speed and exposure. :-)

You can use them in the dark of night to get 30 second exposures that can leave trailng lights on cars and boats etc.

Taking one of those shots could be admittedly cool

Setup on a highway overpass. put your camera on a tripod add an ND filter got to a small aperture and long shutterspeed on ISO 100 ant try a 30 second exposure, then play around from there. You can do it with boats on a river or even stars on longer exposures.

That is a nice set of introductory instructions, thanks for that Unfortunately, there is no possibility to adjust the aperture of the Pocket 2 by itself, but maybe I can compensate that with the ND filters and the other settings, to an extent.

You can. You may not be able to do star trails but if you use the ND22 setting on the filter, bring your iso to 100 and use the highest shutter speed you can still do allot.

The Pocket 2 luckily has a reasonably versatile set of options, so I am certain it can pull that off.

I have seen some star timelapses here with it they cam put well

Superb shot (and edit)
