Out logging some hours for my A2CofC with Coptrz, getting on with all the things it asks me to do. Then i thought it would be interesting to take it up to 400ft, see what the drone looks like at that height. well Its actaully 118m just to give a buffer and make damned certain there was no record in the dronelogbook file of an illegal flight being used as evidence
Anyway, figured whilst at max altitude (or near enough) that it would be nice to take a pano.

I fear the dark and gloomy look is all too accurate.
But, this does add the Birdās Eye Viewer Badge to your profile!

Yeah, one to watch with pano shots, you can only set the exposures to the first shot, in this case was out to sea where its brighter, i guess post editing would have helped

I usually bias the exposure toward the ground ā¦ since thatās mostly what will be interesting. I try to point at 90Ā° from the sun, and have about 25% sky / 75% ground. That gets a pretty good result, and further tweaking in post to finish off.

makes sense, I usually would use the first shot as the ābest bitā, this one wasnt really a planned shot just a āwhilst i was there, I know, kind of thingā what do you mean about 25% sky? not sure how to do that, unless of course you are in a valley?
By adjusting the camera pitch and then setting the exposure whilst in manual exposure mode, and leaving it at that for the pano.
sorry, was my reading, I understand what you are meaning now, yeah thanks. will try again later, batteries are charging up, then going back out whilst its dry and not windy as I still need at least another 2 hours logged.

better exposure this time, good tips thanks @OzoneVibe, shame about the fog though. still there is another 3 flat batteries. I tell you 4hrs is a lot of flight time (apparently the previous to enrol has to be within the last 90 days too, so i only had about 40 mins. Ho Hum. hopefully will have logged enough tomorrow (weather permitting)
