Nice shot George.
It is hard to believe that Birmingham city centre is around 1 mile away.
Will you be posting any of your Neo 2 video as well?

Thanks, Ian. That’s a great suggestion. I hadn’t considered the canals before, but they could make an interesting project with the Osmo Mobile and Neo 2. Much appreciated. :+1:

Thanks, Ian. I really appreciate the advice. I’m also trying to learn more about colour grading at the moment. If you or anyone else has any tips on developing a natural look without overdoing it, I’d be grateful to hear them.

I’m not sure if Paul @ElevatedPerspectives has covered this in one of his tutorials, but in any case, it would help you to have a look through them. You can get to his youtube channel from within this latest topic Make a Cinematic Drone Film Using QuickShots

With your Neo 2 taking photos in jpeg, not RAW/dng, and video not having the D-Log option, you are a little limited I think.

However, I have seen some great images from the Neo 2, so there is a way!

understood.

thank you for advice, to be homest i went far to much with color-grading and LUTs

I understood

Thanks for the mention, Ian, and for pointing people towards my tutorials. Much appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

You can still adjust the colour of footage recorded in Normal—you don’t need D-Log to make a worthwhile improvement. There’s less room for substantial changes, so gentle adjustments to white balance, exposure, contrast and saturation are a good starting point.

For a beginner, I’d concentrate on getting the exposure and white balance right when filming, then make small adjustments afterwards.
