The start of a series I plan on doing consisting of vistas around Southwest Montana. "The Cold Smoke Skies". Cold smoke is a reference to the incredibly light and dry snow that often falls in and around the Bridger Mountains; a mountain range that I grew up skiing in.
This was filmed over a 2 or 3 week period, going out to fly whenever I could depending on the weather.
For the next part I hope to do some actual backcountry stuff and get a little more up-close with some area features. Flying down ridge lines, around/down/up cliffs, and etc. You can only get to so much from the roads even with the range of these 'copters, as you can see! So more to come! Getting a backpack to carry the drone this week!
Filmed with both the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Standard. Polar Pro filters were also used on the Phantom 3 Professional. As for the DJI Go app, I started out using a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone which performance wise seemed to work OK, but the small screen was really starting to bug me as things could be hard to see. After doing a lot of research I decided to purchase an 8" Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet and so far I am extremely happy with it! Cheap and arguably the most powerful android tablet on the market as far as I was able to discover.
A heads up: I'm still learning the ins-and-outs of all of this and I like to mess around quite a bit, so camera settings are def not perfect in some of these shots and possibly using the wrong filters, but overall it's a decent start. Just going to take some practice dialing stuff in and learning to do what, where, and etc. Any feedback is very welcome! Thank you!
Decent Start.... BS... this is fantastic. You are doing a really good job.
I really love the lens flare technique you used and the music sets a GREAT background......
your initial shot of the canyon is a little dark. use the exposure gain on the right wheel to compensate when you run into that problem. I'm just learning how to do that.. PLEASE keep up the great work.
Thank you for all the words of encouragement and praise! Glad you liked it! Also, yeah I agree, the first shot was hard to get right. That's something I'm going to be working on more from now on. Thanks for the tip!
