Impressed with the sharpness there - great job.
Excellent shots. Love the colours.
Nice!
Was that in auto?
The middle one was in auto, the first and last I dialled the exposure level down to about -1.5 to see what a difference it would make if I decided to fiddle about with the photo in Snapseed or Lightroom.
The middle photo was an exposure time of 1 second, and still fairly sharp considering I had a high wind warning, which shows how well the gimbal was working while the MP2 was also maintaining her fight to stay steady. The first and middle photos had an exposure of 1/3 of a second.

I go to York regularly as I have family in Huntington. Just wondering where you take these pics from?
I took off from our secure car park facility, next to Cinder Lane, with permission from security and the building management. It was 1.30am in the morning. As I’m also a signaller, I knew there were no trains in the station and non due for almost an hour due to the service being curtailed.
There is a public car park along Cinder Lane which is where the red X is on, which is deserted,and would make an ideal take off point. I’ve marked my take off point with a black cross and suggested take off point with a red x. The whole road and car parks are totally deserted during this time. The only other time I’ve managed to get a flight over York was on Xmas day morning because it’s normally busy during the day and nighttime.

It’s ok. Im just pointing out a good spot for you to take off from if you fancy it while places are in lockdown.
Even a daytime flight can be done from the red X spot as its pretty much far enough away

Is that the old Battersea power station in the distance?
Rather bizarrely the power station is right up there with the Great pyramids and the Taj Mahal as an iconic structure in photographs. So much so that the white chimneys were demolished and replaced with fibre glass ones. As Micheal Caine would say ‘not many people know that’ lol
