About the Image(s)
The photo was taking at one of my favorite flying spots, off the coast of Palos Verdes in Southern Ca. In fact it is very similar to a shot I posted earlier. But the basic lighting was different this time. It was shot as the sun was beginning to go down. Also, my editing in Lightroom/Photoshop was different. In this version I converted the landscape mode to near square aspect ratio to give it a different look. I also used Photoshop’s Replace Sky Command.
The image was taken using an ISO 100, the Mavic Pro’s fixed 26 mm (35 mm equivalent) f/2.2 lens, with an Exposure Bias of +7/10. The drone was positioned over the ocean about 20-30 feet above the cliffs, and its altitude registered -68.1 feet, which I do not totally understand. I suspect that it has something to do with how it will react to a RTH command, so it does not crash into the cliffs.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

I wonder why the altitude registered that way. I never trust my return to home command. The one time I used it, the drone flew away and landed on top of a building, so now I'm scared.   Posted: 05/19/2021 09:50:31
