September 2023 - Sunrise over Mount Nittany

About the Image(s)
August 6, about 6:30 am, not sure where I got the energy to fly the drone that early in the morning, but I could tell it was a spectacular sunrise. Just peeking over the treetops in our backyard.
In Lightroom, leveled, opened up the shadows, vibrance, dehaze, added a color profile (artistic 1).
DJI Air 2S, about 100 feet high, f/2.8, 1/240 sec, ISO 100, and I have an ND filter on.

Looking good! Did you bracket? Maybe a more decisive main subject but net, net a lovely scene Posted: 09/12/2023 16:16:24
I did not bracket… I should set that up for shots like this. Posted: 09/28/2023 09:18:29
The sky is the winner. To me the foreground is not too interesting, apparently behind the bushes there are some rocks or a mountain? Posted: 09/14/2023 08:25:16
The sky and sunrise were the deciding factors for me to send the drone up. Although those aren't bushes, but the tops of 30-ft tall trees! The mountain to the right of the sun is Mt Nittany, famous in our area. Posted: 09/28/2023 09:20:28
Lisa,
I really like the image. If the sky is your main interest, possibly cropping a bit more of the foreground and/or brighten it a bit to set off the sky. What value of ND do you have on your drone? I have one on mine, but honestly, I cannot remember its value. Posted: 09/17/2023 19:41:56

P.S. I like the post editing you did. Posted: 09/17/2023 19:42:44
thanks Don, I think i had an 8 ND filter on… I have a kit with 4 different ones. But I'll have to look for sure. The sky, sun and the mountain are my main interest, but I guess I only know those tops of trees are so high… Posted: 09/28/2023 09:21:49
The colors are very pleasing. I like the sun placement and haze on the horizon. Nice work. Posted: 09/24/2023 23:40:33
Thank you Alex, it was a beautiful hazy day. Posted: 09/28/2023 09:22:37
