First proper photo shoot with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro... and I'm impressed. 📸
This is Wylie Bay at sunset, captured as a bracketed panoramic image. The amount of detail this drone pulls out is incredible—from the granite rocks and reefs right through to the clouds on the horizon. I love it (ok bit excited because it's new gear ) but not the actual shot im trying for.. fortunately this place is on my way home so opportunities will come up to get "that shot" im chasing - photgraphy like fishing requires patience...
I decided to leave the two cars on the beach in the shot, along with the subtle curvature of the horizon, just to help show the sheer scale of this coastline. Sometimes those tiny details tell the story better than removing them.
The photo itself was only part of the job though... 😅
Being a bracketed panorama meant processing dozens of images. Between Lightroom, stitching, exposure blending and final colour grading, there was well over an hour of post-processing behind this single photograph - each photo was a 100mb too so my computer ground to almost a halt dealing with it. only to downsize to 7mb to upload to facebook 🤣
Definitely worth it though.
Esperance never disappoints.
