so i've been flying for about 8 months now and honestly most of my footage has been pretty trash until this past weekend. went out to this reservoir near my place early morning, maybe 6:30am, fog was sitting right on the water and i just got lucky with the light. flew maybe 3 batteries worth and pulled some clips i'm actually proud of for once.

uploaded to youtube if anyone wants to take a look, not gonna spam the link unless people actually want to see it. mostly wide orbits and a slow push in over the water. nothing fancy but the colors came out way better than usual, think the fog diffused everything nicely. using a mini 3 pro btw, no color grading other than some basic contrast tweaks in premiere.

anyone else find that overcast or foggy mornings just kill it for footage? feels like every time i go out in full sun i regret it

post the link man dont be shy, thats what the thread is for lol. foggy reservoir sounds sick honestly, i've been trying to get that kind of shot for ages but every time i go out for it the fog burns off way too fast. what time of year was this? wondering if thats a seasonal thing or just luck

yeah flat light is almost always better for video, harsh sun just blows out highlights and you're fighting shadows the whole time. good call going out that early. the mini 3 pro handles low light pretty well for its size too so that probably helped. would be curious to see it if you post it up
