HI !!! Amazing photos !

You take these shots with SPARK only and edit them ?

Yep, looks can be deceiving.
The look of an image is determined by an image editor and not by the camera used.
With an editor like DXO it takes just one click to make a photo look like it was taken with any camera out there (one can even make a photo look like it was taken with a hasselblad H6D a $26000 camera).
My photos are definitely taken with the spark, spark photos have more noise than P4 photos but noiseware pro is able to remove it.
In any case, have a great week.

Great images! That moon shot caught my eye and I figured it had to be a composite image with the shutter set to go off at a specified interval. How long was your Spark airborne to achieve that shot?

Yes its a composite image of 22 single shots merged in photoshop. So spark was in the air for 22 times for just a few minutes.

All these photos are single shots no HDR. I expose for the sky and Lightroom brings out the detail in the shadows,  ofcours there is a lot of noise but noiseware pro is able to remove it.

Hi, nope did not use any filters, effect of filters can be emulated with a photo editor so no need to use them on the spark.

Thank you, 5 years of post processing experience, its really all about the editing software, not the camera, a $20 kiddie camera from the hardware store can produce the same quality.
In any case, have a great day.

Two questions: in The moon's photo how did you find the same position every time? and the jpeg worked in lightroom did not lose quality not being raw?

Hi, no quality loss in lightroom, the adjustment in the shadows was only 2 f-stops (raw can do 4 stops but then the photos would be all like its daylight), the noise it created was removed with noiseware pro.
As for the moon shot, its a composite of 22 shots no need to have the exact same position, select the best landscape and sky then layer in all the remaining moons.
