Morro Bay Dredge
I took my new DJI Air 2S down to Morro Bay to give it a workout. I was surprised to find the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredge “Yaquina” clearing sand build up from the harbor entrance. So here is a still, and a video shot with the DJI Air 2S.
The still shot of the dredge “Yaquina” https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work-2021/i-bDspVjV/0/b46ff0d2/O/DJI_0099c.jpg The video shot at 4K 30fps, and rendered at 1080P to save on file size for sharing. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work-2021/i-85MNF5q/0/dd79ec97/1920/MB%20Dredge_mp4-1920.mp4 -- Regards, Savageduck |

Now that you have a second one, it appears that the opposite happened. |

Thanks for posting. A little jerkiness in places, but maybe that is just an intrusion in the process of getting it to my screen. Thanks for looking, and the comment. As far as jerkiness goes there might be some pilot error, and/or editing klutziness due to familiarizing myself with the new drone. Now my curiosity has me off to find out how that ship does what it does. Well this should fill you in on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAV_Yaquina -- Regards, Savageduck |

Now I am have more fun with drone aerial photography than my good old terrestrial shooting. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I viewed it with Chromium and a VDSL connection; played smoothly. Looks just like the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Except for the boats, the beaches, the size, the lack of a Statue of Liberty. On second thought, it looks nothing like the Susquehanna River! Definitely nothing like the Susquehanna. Morro Bay is on the Chorro Creek estuary where it opens out onto tidal mud flats before opening up to the Bay anchorage, and harbor. Here is a 180º pano of the South bay, tidal mud flats, and marina shot with my old Air 2. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work-2021/i-qZJXS6s/0/a3f00380/O/DJI_0011Pmb1.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

All of the DJI RAW files are DNG, and I haven’t had issues processing with a selection of software including Lightroom, Exposure X6, Luminar, and Capture One Well, all RAW files of the Xiaomi Fimi drone I bought in 2019 are also DNG, but it is almost impossible to process them with standard software, because there is a huge magent cast. The JPEGs are ok on the other hand, so there must be something weird in the way the Xiaomi drone encodes its DNG files. But I'm guessing that DJI drones doesn't have this problem. So I'm wondering how good dynamic range and highlight recovery are and how accurate the automatic white balance is. If it's the same sensor as the one of the Mavic 2, the DNGs should be quite good -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

You should be able to access them without an iCloud ID, but perhaps because they were in a folder might have complicated things. Here are each individual shared link if you still care to play. I checked the permissions, and they are available to anybody with the link. Otherwise the DNGs are easy enough to process, I used Lightroom. https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0ON9Rg66uU_b_yAPjL1wxHysw#DJI_0105 https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0j3AftBd2PYQKIZFZ66zHyWLw#DJI_0104 https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0hS6rYXlGz-nuIGiOIcZF5LRQ#DJI_0107 -- Regards, Savageduck |
