ND filter really makes footage look natural…

@Yan
Wait, what’s your shutter speed? Looks like you’re not following the 180-degree rule. If you’re shooting at 30fps, you should be at 1/60s. That’s the main reason to use an ND filter—so you can stick to that shutter speed without overexposing. Also, ISO should always be at 100 unless absolutely necessary. Good luck with golden hour!

I did follow it! Shooting at 24fps with 1/50s. Not sure why the footage isn’t as crisp compared to my usual B-roll. Appreciate the feedback!

What did you export at? Looks like a 24fps clip forced into a 30fps export—causes jitter.

Woot! Dallas? Is that the Trinity?

Yep! Near the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Great place to fly—wide open spaces, not many people.

Awesome :metal:

The graffiti on those cars is sick! Would love a close-up follow shot of the details.

Yep.

Shooting at midday is rough—the sun is too harsh, making it hard to balance highlights and shadows. Try filming with the sun lower in the sky, either early morning or late afternoon.

ND filters are mainly for motion blur and keeping shutter speed correct—not really for changing color.

Nice footage! Which ND filter are you using? 32?
