First evening of Fall-Autumn

Northwood Mediaworks · Sep 22, 2020

Hi there Sparkers! Hope all are well.

I meant to contribute to RotoWash's August sunset request, but life got too busy, so this evening I took up the MA2 and grabbed this AEB.

I have a video coming of this also... not ready yet.

Hope everyone has a fantastic fall and lets all stay safely away from Covid. Take care.

The Canadian prairie. Great one.

Great shot Robin, look forward to the video. Also looking forward to your capture of the fall colors this year! Are you still loving the MA2 or is that a stupid question?

Great sunset capture Robin! That was a perfectly timed shot. All healthy and well here as I hope you all are.

I haven’t forgotten the RotorWash challenge but as I type this it’s belting down with rain. Wife and I went for a lovely walk yesterday morning around the Downs here-all blue sky, no wind but up too late for sunrise. Temperate climate hey ho! Super shot. Batteries ready for good weather.

Nice shot Robin. Caught the sun way low in the sky and got that great lighting effect. Thank you.

Thanks all for the kind words. Here's the video...

Music is my own original work. This was in HDR mode, which was actually a bit of a mistake when grabbing the sunset, as it did its best to maintain exposure. My bad. The noise is evident! Waiting for the next really sunny day for some real color capture.

@RotorWash, absolutely!

No stupid questions.... but yes, its hard not to love it. I strongly recommend to any Spark pilot looking to upgrade. If you scrape up enough even for the basic package, do it. You wont be sorry.

Thanks, its been good around us here, very little case activity, 1 in the past three weeks, and they recovered just fine. Sill piling the firewood here, so hoping Sunday afternoon I can grab some of that color in the bright sunshine, weather has been rather gloomy lately.

Mother Nature has no respect for us pilots! How are we supposed to celebrate her wonders when its raining and blowing so? Sheesh!

Hang in there and we will look forward to your battery expenditure!

Yes, it was a spur of the moment thing, the battery was only at 65% when I went up, so it was pushing the envelope, weather has been obstinate lately. Get it while you can they say. Thanks

Great music, so clever to create it yourself. HDR is great when you want to get exposure of those nooks and crannies say in a cave shot from outside looking in but for a bit of sunset mood it’ll knock the drama out of it. You say 65% battery but was it shot real time or was there any speed up in post-prod?

The sunset sequence was sped up 600% so the actual time on that was quite long... at least 5 minutes of hovering... The opening bit was real time. Thanks for the kind words.

Maybe just change the dream a little Robin, have you looked into submitting some of your work at sites such as this one or similar?
