    [Tutorial] Urban Night Photography with Lightroom

    Hi guys this is my last tutorial with Adobe Lightroom. I think that this one can be useful also for drone photography at night.

    Photo editing laptop

    I suggest you to look at a refurbished Dell machine. I actually have a Dell Precision M6600 with intel Core i7 2820qm and 16gb ram with samsung ssd and NVIDIA Quadro 4000M and RGB Led FHD panel. The machine is 6 years old but it performs very well and it is about four times more powerful...

    Phantom 3 standard camera

    I think it's overexposed, check at the camera settings and try to switch it in automatic mode... It can't be a focusing problem because the P3S has the fixed focus at infinity

    How do we deal with Cold?

    Last winter I brought the P3S to Lofoten Islands in Norway and it was very cold. I used to keep warm the batteries in the car as long as possible, then at the last moment I trow them out and I kept inside my backpack covered with a warm scarf. I never had problems fly below 0°. here is some clips:

    Safe to fly in fog?

    I have done it many times with my old P3S and also with the P3A that I have now. Never had a problem. I think that the rotating props keeps the humidity away from the motors, and some drops over the shell is not a problem...
