I'm adjusting the shutter speed of the camera, I don't have a Mavic 2 pro but I'm pretty sure it has the option to alter the shutter speed. You need to make sure the camera is in manual.
@@JonathanJScottFilms i DID SOME T TESTING AFTER i WATCHED YOUR VIDEO. AND here is the deal. I do have exposer comp but no in Manual Mode. It does not have it in manual mode. If you use or aperture or shutter priority then you can use exposure compensation. Funny you have a link directing subscribers to the Mavic 2 pro on Amazon as your recommended drone.. LOL. All good. Thank you for getting back to me. Looking forward.
Outstanding and very helpful. Your detail and expertise displayed in a format that still moves right along kept my focus through the entire video. Well Done!
Thanks so much. Very practical pre and post production advice. I am a new certified pilot and need to absorb as much as i can about photo production for work.
That was the best vid on drone photography that I've seen. I much enjoyed how you provided instruction in planning, shooting and post editing. Thank you!
It took me three full years to master DSLR . It will take at least one full year to master Drone video and photography. Your video is really helpful. Thomas
cool, check out the rest of the channel and subscribe as there are lots of drone videos and instructional videos that should be useful. Happy and safe flying.
I've always had an interest in photography and technology and the drone for me is just a cool way to take pictures. I've had my Phantom 3 Advanced for about a week and already sussed out the hard way about planning. 1. Open areas with no trees...steep learning curve for me! 2. Plan a flight path. Just 2 options already I've learned, just wish I'd seen your video tutorial first. Thanks for the videos, its giving inspiration. I have done a video as a trial run, fairly happy as its my first attempt. Click on my name to view.
wow that was a terrific video thank you. I'm new to camera raw and the stitching and panoramic options look super powerful. I really enjoyed your teaching style, especially letting us know what you're going to do, what you're going to teach and how are youre going to teach us. I'll be practicing some of your tips here on the coast of British Columbia today thank you very much I appreciate it. cheers
Excellent tutorial. Looking to improve my technical abilities with drone photography, as well as post-production editing. Will be coming back to your videos for reference. Thank you!
I’m not familiar with the drone you’re using, but with my Mavic 2 pro I can just switch over to internal drive if I get up in the air and have forgotten to insert the SD card. It’s pretty slick and a good fallback plan.
Great video. That's where I live! I hope you had a pint in the Dolphin after that :) I'm currently trying to talk myself out of getting a Phantom 4, but if I fail, I'll do some filming there for sure. Just to the east of where you were, there's an old ruin called "The Teahouse". I think that would make an interesting subject at sunrise, with the sea and sun coming up over Salcombe in the background.
Nice tutorial. This is exactly what I've been doing since getting my hands on the mavic pro. I'm used to shooting with a Canon 5D3 so the two obvious drawbacks with the Mavic were 1, poor dynamic range and 2, only 12 mega pixels. So then you simply use the HDR Pano technique in Lightroom (drone in Portrait mode) and you have yourself a great raw file to work with. I ended up with a 35MP shot with loads of detail in the darks and lights. This format is my go to for pretty much every image I take with the drone. Even if it doesn't need a pano I would still play it safe by switching to portrait mode and stitching at least 3 images together. You can always crop later but by stitching 2 or 3 portrait shots rather than using one landscape you are doubling your pixel count. Again I would almost always bracket 5 shots every time too. On the Mavic it will auto bracket 5 shots but each one is only +\- 0.7 ef so if it's very bright and that's not going to be enough I bracket it manually.
Fantastic video! Perfect explanation for everything i need right now! I use a Hudl 2 too so im clearly destined to be a great aerial photographer too ;)
Great Video John thank you, Quick question if you don't mind. What editor are you using to combine your shots with the different exposures? Thanks will be following your tube channel it's very helpful. Cheers Mick
buellman75 Hi Mick, thanks glad you like the channel. The software used is Adobe Camera Raw. I use this to combine the shots then move the combined result into Photoshop for further editing. In Photoshop I use Google Nik plugins (video on my channel about how to use them) and some of Photoshop's own tools to edit the image. Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot for all tips and epic videos!! I really appreciate eche one, it's very useful for myself... I'm practicing everyday over here in Brazil ;-)
Hi Jonathan. Excellent tutorial my friend and looking forward to exploring other films on your channel. I am just getting into Drones myself and would like to use them for still and video landscape work. Do you have a licence for your drone for such use. I was wanting to sell my images at some point but notice the commercial licence is quite a hefty price. Keep up the good work. Julian
Great video,just wished it had a better sensor,im staying with the p3 as p4 offers no difference in sensor technology. Hoping the p5 does better for stills photograph.
smashing tutorial fellas! thank you.. I learned a lot for my shoot at Barry island This week I sure the P3S do you have a tutorial on how to choose the correct camera settings please?
Hi Jonathan, thanks for a great tutorial. Just one question, I have CS6 and CR 9.1 problem is i cannot get to the merge HDR facility as my software only shows (at the top left hand) 'select all' and 'synchronise' no drop down. Am i missing something, thanks for your help.
hmmm, not sure I'm afraid, it might be that your on CS6, I thought with ACR 9 you should have the option regardless of which version of Photoshop, are you sure you are on ACR 9
Can I ask if you think a drone with smart software like this can fill the gap of a jib and or slider? well jib/dolly anyway. Im considering getting one but still a little sceptical that the video quality (which is only 60Mbits/sec) is not way up there. Do you have any thoughts on that?
yeah absolutely, you should watch the video I put together on how to get cinematic shots with a drone, it's on my channel. A drone will easily perform all of those things but obviously with a DJI phantom you are limited to the in built camera, if you get an Inspire with X5 camera you will get better quality and you can even get the x5r which will shoot raw video with a data rate of 1.8Gbps! but it will cost you about £5K. It all depends what the application is and what your budget is.
Hey, amazing tutorial ! Thumbs up ! I have seen it a couple of time and i'am asking each times why do you use auto-tone in the hdr process ? I mean, why do you don't do it yourself as a photographer ? Maybe, i didn't get what auto-tone really do ^^ Great job again, you are like a teacher to me :)
DatWillou auto-tone just balances the exposure, it's just a starting point that you then further develop the photograph in Adobe camera raw and photoshop.
I'm actually curious why you choose to shoot into the sun, my thought was to fly out over the ocean and shoot back towards the shoreline with the sun coming in from the left show great color and shadows with the low sun angle and golden light. Just curious.
I'm using a tablet called a Hudl 2. The Phantom 3 shoots stills in raw but not video, the only DJI drone that does is the Inspire with the X5R camera. The quality is amazing but the workflow a total PITA.
Danny Darco because it's a high dynamic range scene where it's not possible to capture all the information of the shadows and highlights in a single capture, hence taking multiple exposures one that is underexposed capturing highlight detail, one balanced exposure for the midtones and one overexposed for the shadow detail.
I can't live without Photoshop, you can get it on subscription for not too much. I also recommend google nik plugins which work with Photoshop, I have a video about them on my channel.
dude, Love your drone stuff. Quick question, is ure drone camera the same camera when you bought it or have you upgraded it? cause I just bought a phantom 4 and, it may just be me not fiddling around that much with the settings but the camera seems to be 'meh' at best
thanks man. Yes the camera is the stock one ( you can't change them on the Phantom 3 or 4). I dial in custom settings to get the most from the camera, if you have a look on my channel you can find a video I made on the best settings for the Phantom 4 and 3, check it out.
Use google earth to find unique locations or INTERESTING patterns in the earth surface. Very helpful tool to save leg work, driving and wasted flight time looking for composition.
Man this tutorial its the better...but...where i need some tutorial to link the 3 landacape photos...thanks man...your channel. It has been very helpful
John, how are you. this afternoon do the exercise of the 3 pictures with different exposures ... with that achievement program open them 3 ... that part I do not understand .... you have to send them to any email thank you ??

I sure the P3S do you have a tutorial on how to choose the correct camera settings please?
yep, I have one, just check my channel.
thanks for the swift response.. have you seen the new Go Pro Karma just released??? WOW!
Nice video. Thanks!
No worries
Wow. great!
wow. thanks 😀
You mentioned software to figure the sun direction., times etc.. Where do i find that..??

Dean Humphrey just my artistic choice for that scene.

What tablet do you use?
The Phantom 3 4k does not shoot in RAW right?
I'm using a tablet called a Hudl 2. The Phantom 3 shoots stills in raw but not video, the only DJI drone that does is the Inspire with the X5R camera. The quality is amazing but the workflow a total PITA.
what tablet are you using? great video thanks
Its the Hudl 2, a great Android tablet but unfortunately not available anymore.
epic video!
cheers
thanks !
Tip: Instead of manually changing EV you can use AEB and choose 3 or 5 shots and it will do the work for you
Aleksander Vuk the AEB only shoots 0.7 stops apart, no good of I want 2 stop difference.
if you are shooting in raw and you can adjust your exposure in post then why do you need multiple shots in different exposures
Danny Darco because it's a high dynamic range scene where it's not possible to capture all the information of the shadows and highlights in a single capture, hence taking multiple exposures one that is underexposed capturing highlight detail, one balanced exposure for the midtones and one overexposed for the shadow detail.
What programs would you recommend for an up and coming photographer that's on a budget.
I can't live without Photoshop, you can get it on subscription for not too much. I also recommend google nik plugins which work with Photoshop, I have a video about them on my channel.

you my friend are a legend! I will have a sift through your channel tonight! Greetings from Scotland :)
+RedTreeEntertainment no problem, if you haven't seen it already I also have a drone video shot in Scotland too!
oh man! what are the odds of that hahaha. Ill need to see if I recognize any of the locations you went too! hope you visited Isle Of Skye
post production makes a huuuuge difference... get familiar with an editing suite like premiere pro or final cut.
At 8:30 he is changing the exposure, is this feature available on he P3S?
Brandon Lapeus I don't think you can do it via the controller on the P3S, but you can in the DJI go app
Use google earth to find unique locations or INTERESTING patterns in the earth surface. Very helpful tool to save leg work, driving and wasted flight time looking for composition.
N'th DEGREE AERIAL PERSPECTIVES yep, great tip.
How did you do that I am very interested of doing please reply asap! Johnathan J Scott Films
