Shot these with my new P3A in cold (<32F), gusty (10-15 mph?) & low light conditions (after sunset). Trick is to take many in the same spot (to settle the P3), don't go beyond ISO 200 (to keep noise under control) & pray for good luck (that you avoid a gust). I'm happy with them & can't wait for some snow to make the scene even better!

Your colors are beautifully rich.....Would you mind sharing if you used any filters on the lens?

Wonderful images. So good, I can feel the cold and the mist in the air.

Well done, Sir!

Beautiful pics. York Beach is our family favorite. Did anyone object to you flying in the park? I would want to get some photos and video once I get, and learn to use my drone.

Thanks. No filters on the lens other than a U/V to mostly protect it. I process in Lightroom (LR) to bring out the colors but I don't do anything additional like add effects etc.

Thanks. No one objected but then there weren't many people around. Will be a different story when the crowds come in spring & summer. I'm mostly keeping it out over the water on edge of rocks well away from anyone anyone. But it does get really cold & windy up there!

Great images! Especially the last one. Did you change any camera settings? ISO, shutter speed?

A few more from a shoot today. It snowed this morning so afternoon conditions were super. No wind so got images up to 6 secs! ISO 100. The P3A is close to a tripod in the air!
