so ive been flying my mini 3 pro out at the reservoir near my house for like the past month trying to nail this shot and i think i finally got something worth sharing. the colors were insane last thursday, did a slow pull back while rotating and the reflection on the water just lined up perfectly. uploaded to my youtube if anyone wants to check it out, link in my profile.

honestly wasnt even planning to fly that day, just had the drone in my car and stopped on a whim. sometimes those are the best sessions. anyway curious what people think, especially about the color grading — im still figuring out d-log and whether its worth the extra editing time vs just shooting in normal mode

d-log is 100% worth it once you get a decent LUT workflow going. took me forever to feel comfortable with it but now i wont go back. sunset stuff especially — you retain so much more in the highlights. whats your editing setup? if youre on resolve there are some free LUT packs that work really well as a starting point

nice, reservoir shots are hard to mess up when the light cooperates lol. did you have ND filters on or was it just auto everything? my footage always looks a little jittery when theres water involved and im not sure if its the shutter speed or what
