A few X5R stills

[damoncooper]

Just bumped DNG saturation and sharpness a tad and exported to JPG from Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop.

Coming from the X3, this thing has gobs of dynamic range.

Used a PolarPro ND16 CPL filter and 12mm lens on these, taken on an OSMO.

I'm jealous!

Damon, for stills I would not use an ND filter at all and for balance a UV filter would be recommended. Of course, if you're doing both video and stills during the same flight then a ND filter is needed, but for stills alone shoot with as fast a shutter speed you can with a mid range f/# and low ISO. With an ISO of 100 and an f/# of, say, f/5.6, you should see shutter speeds around 1/1000 second or faster -- should help to limit blur from drone and/or subject motion.

BTW, that does NOT look like Boston!

Great point on shutter speed, thanks Brian.

Yeah it's definitely not Boston . Rental house 30 min drive south of Cancun

You got your timing all fouled up -- Cancun is for the middle of winter when you'd otherwise be shoveling 12 inches of snow, not for the beginning of summer...
