Thanks to the advice of many of the pilots in the forum, I was able to get some decent night shots.  However, I think my gimbal needs to be calibrated.  It seems a little crooked.

Used a variety of settings this time.

mainly variations of shutter speed with ISO varied between 800 - 1200

I really like that the app actually alters the screen to show you what the shot will look like when you take it, in contrast to my DSLR which shows you the result after you take the shot.

I'm going to calibrate the gimbal today, and hopefully if it's not raining tonight, I'll go back out and get a few more.

Great pictures, well done, those pictures can easily be straightened in post, one thing about Mavic Air which cannot be disputed, of all dji prosumer drones, it’s hands down the best gimbal, so either you have offset it by accident or it needs calibration, bit it should be perfectly straight.

Again great work, considering your only new to this.

Thanks.  and i figure that I can straighten them.  These are the Jpegs directly from the SD.  I'll be using the RAW photos when I go to edit.  
I'm not sure why it's a little off.  Maybe because I had it in my bag without the gimbal cover on it.  

But I do know that the simple calibration exercise will correct it.  I'm just upset I didn't notice it when i was taking the photos.

Night shots look dope. I’m still a little afraid of flying at night aside from right above my house, lolz. But these look awesome. Nice work.

Thanks a lot.  I was suffering from an acute case of sphincter pucker when I lost sight of it for a minute, but all is well.

Beautiful images. Nothing like a clear and sharp night photo.
Second one is a neat one. Liked the shot of the Ferris wheel.

Good shots here. Exposure is spot on.
I will do some slight noise reduction, and straighten the images in post if it where mine.

Here are my adjusted photos with settings for each.  (post edit only includes leveling photo.  The raw photos looked much better than the JPGs did.)

Image Ratio was at 16:9 for each. White Balance was still set to Auto
