Drone photography fascinating me. I’m love sunsets and soft (low) light atmosphere, therefore I’m still trying to find a consumer drone which will capture nice images at low light.
Ozzo photography at ozzo.is has solved this low light problem in a professional way by hooking a Sony α7S II (12MP in a Full-frame sensor) below a Dji Matrice 600 Hexacopter. The result is this absolutely stunning low light video of the northern lights.
Not only the video is spectacular but also the music which was selected for it. This is the original track “The Spectacular Quiet” from Lights & Motion.
There are not too many consumer drones with a satisfying image quality and convenient portability for traveling. I now ordered the Dji Mavic Pro in favor of the GoPro Karma. I expect the Mavic to be super portable (drone, as well as the controller) and the picture quality should be nice as well (the small camera will technically of course never reach the quality of a full-frame sensor, however, it’s a compromise). The Mavic seems to have better flight capabilities than the Karma. This is a detailed review of the Mavic, I can’t wait to try it: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/12/dji-mavic-pro-in-depth-review.html. Drone photography will also be a new challenge for shooting and for post-processing, so there is a lot to learn: http://fromwhereidrone.com/8-tips-better-drone-photography/.
