I tried using the groucho marx filter to remove distortion but never could get it to work ;)

Nice shots. Some really cool angles.

Which do you prefer? Does the b/w look like film? B/W - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rFHt0ndZyI Color - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpQ8huI_H3Q

I appreciate that, I really do. I wish I could condense 20+ years of photography experience into a YouTube video but I’m not competent or patient enough to do so. Honestly a lot of this is trial and error. Duplicating results you see here doesn’t happen every time and a lot comes down to...

Definitely GPS. I use Photoshop CC and Premiere for all my clips.

Don’t underestimate this camera. If you tile it you can do large prints. Here’s a couple of mine that I printed out as a test. Just shot these quickly with my camera phone. Both are printed on canvas. 48 x 14.

Smart sharpen is actually a photoshop dialog just like unsharp mask but it gives you more control over noise reduction at the same time. One other thing is that I do a lot of localized noise correction in the shadow areas. This image is a good example of needing localized noise correction in...

No worries. Yes. Everything I shoot I shoot in RAW. It’s the only way to get the results you see. JPEG on this camera doesn’t have the dynamic range and the metering isn’t precise enough. You have to be able to manipulate the image after it’s shot.

It really depends on the photo as far as the noise reduction. I start with “reduce noise” in Photoshop. If that doesn’t do it I then move to “smart sharpen” where it also has a noise reduction. If both of these don’t do it (and sometimes it doesn’t) I start breaking the image apart with layers...

Nice job 4wd. That’s what I want to see more of. No substitute for great light. It might be a flying camera but it’s still a camera nonetheless. I’d take 100 of these videos over 5 seconds of 1 longest distance video :)

Something a little different. A vertical panoramic with a skewed perspective.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0TxbKZLZFU Got up early and headed to the park before it was crowded. Almost lost it in the water because of operator error. More practice flying is definitely needed.
