7 Tips to Shoot Long Exposure Photos with DJI Mini 3

[@escsniper]

Great stuff! I still don't fully understand the parameters of photography, but your videos are sure getting me there!

[@JK_cookie00]

Love a free info from you. I’m getting better at aerial photography thanks to this channel. The Mini 3 is my favorite mini drone at the moment.

[@georgekelly1948]

Thanks for the clear instruction on this long-exposure function. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Phizy99]

The amount of time I have spent trying to do that thx so much.

[@StephanieFerrante_]

I got the Mini 3 for Christmas and have been using it ever since. I let my nephews use my original mini while fly my new one. I love it. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the content and hard work.

[@FlytPath]

appreciate it. enjoy the mini

[@tony_terry]

I needed this tutorial. Excited to try these tips on my Mini 3.

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Bizie_Boy]

great video. helped get an idea of the mini 3 cameras capability.

[@haytijr5823]

This is so cool, I have found my passion in photography because of drones

[@lynsmith1096]

Good tutorial and shots Aldryn.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks 👍

[@firsurf]

great video!! thanks!!

[@Pizzafromthepresident]

im just learning about exposure and all that stuff! really cool.

[@jonnmedds]

Great tutorial thanks. Just ordered myself the Freewell ND1000 for my Air 2s.

[@FlytPath]

Glad I could help

[@dyna-drone1952]

Thanks for the great information on how you do your long exposure shots kind of news most of that but it just came in still with me that I needed to get some different filters than what I have appreciate your help on that. I keep up doing what you doing man it’s cool.

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dyna-drone1952]

Well, I hope you understood it. It changed my words a few times I do a lot of coastal photos with my cameras in my drone I just don’t have the stronger filters that you were talking about so I’m going online today to get some. Thanks again for responding.

[@FlytPath]

@@dyna-drone1952 ya you need those darker ones or you can shoot with a more advanced drone with an adjustable aperture

[@dyna-drone1952]

@@FlytPath yeah the one I’ve got is the Mavic two zoom looking at doing the Mavic three classic

[@JohnnieDroneFlyer]

Very good and always love learning new things. Great Tutorial

[@FlytPath]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dbcreative47]

Hi..great tutorial Is there an option to take dozens of pictures and then combine them into one?

[@Kris-jk9mq]

Great video! Should be linked to DJI how-to videos!

[@pintocreations]

Hi from India .super video, super explanation, please suggest Mavic air 2 ND filters, if you already have a video then please send me the link.

[@jdcoverland365]

Thank you very much for this. As a canadian, the Maverick Mini Pro 3 is what I am looking at to avoid the Gov, hassle registering things.

[@jacek_kaczmarczyk]

Great tutorial, thank you

[@RONALDSCHULTE]

Perfectly explained only I wish I lived in such a beautiful area. Here everything is flat without beautiful rocky coasts. Well I am having problems taking a burst of pictures in the 48mp modes with the Mini 3 pro. Then sometimes the connection with the drone drops out. In the 12mp mode it is no problem. Do you have that too?

[@emmettred]

love this thank you

[@FlytPath]

You are so welcome!

[@jonahkaiguam]

Awesome video as always Aldryn. I picked up a Freewell Gear All Day 8pk ND/PL 4/8/16/32/64, CPL, & ND1000/2000 filters in a nice single case. The ND1000 is pretty awesome with the Mavic 3 and makes for such amazing photos. I picked it up after seeing your video on Long Exposure with the Mavic 3

[@CarlosGranier]

Great tips, thanks!

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great tips on how to get better long exposure shots. I used to take long exposures with my camera's back in the day, but I haven't really done any with my drones. But after watching your video i'm inspired to get new ND filters and give it a try. Great video Aldryn, thanks for sharing.

[@dronejourneynz]

Cool tutorial - I saw some of these photos on Instagram and hoped you'd do a how-to video. Cheers!

[@LiveLife-MJ]

Sir I know that area is class G airspcae but does the city allow you to launch from the beach or do you kind of just do it from the street?

[@BrianKushner]

Great video!

[@BoojeeKnights]

Awesome, I didn't know you can shoot long exposures with the Mini 3 pro!

[@BlueChipAdvance]

👍🏾 great video

[@Backcountryhiker]

I live in San Diego and thought it was not permitted to fly along a beach. In La Jolla, or Wind and Sea Beach, where do you take off and how far are you allowed to fly? Thank you!

[@LenMiDrones_photography]

I have the free well all day kit and it has an nd1000. And I have the Mini 3 Pro but what editing software did you use to get the photos that clean

[@louisguy3494]

Outstanding …new flyer first drone …mini 3 …wish i got pro tho …love your vids . Exciting

[@Kris-jk9mq]

You're NOT missing anything but Avoidance.. I pushed my budget up to mini 3 because it's the same actual camera on all the new mini 3/4 lineup

[@fdavie2]

That was incredibly useful information so thank you teaching me how to use exposure properly. Do you have any recommendations on evening/night photography? Is there filters for that or is it just exposure settings. I will always try to under expose my shots from now on.

[@guyeiny]

Thanks for a great video. Question - I have the Mavic Mini Pro 3, and some ND filters. I'd like to take a long exposure photo while moving the drone. However, the drone keeps stopping in mid-air when I take a photo. Any idea how to overcome that behavior? thanks again for the great content!

[@dronebuzz]

Nicely flown Aldryn! ;-) T

[@rolpal619]

I have been watching your videos since. I too live in San Diego for 23 years now. I bought my first drone after watching your videos on DJI Phantom 4. My curiosity, flying around that particular area. Do you require to have a drone license (Part 107)? I’m just reluctant to fly near the coast as people might say something. The photo is stunning by the way.

[@FlytPath]

Just fly for fun in areas not restricted in the app. Fly early and away from people.

[@jasonleesuffolk]

Would a ND64 filter be any good?

[@destinationdiaries1521]

Hi, new subscriber here. does the mini 3 (non pro) have hyperlapse?

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Thanks for your video. I've been a landscape long exposure shooter for a very long time and I recently purchased this drone and I'm loving it but I was wondering about pushing the exposure links out to that kind of length I'm gonna start around about a quarter of a second or even an eighth of a second which I still think you get some lovely texture. I think probably the thing that you didn't mention which I think is probably picking a day where it's not windy. If it's not windy down the drone is not gonna move much it will still move a little bit, but almost like I'd be taking four or five shots as well and hoping that one of them is really sharp. It's almost like if you keep shooting with using the screen, you will find that one of the shots will be sharp.....

[@FlytPath]

Ya wind can def make a difference

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@@FlytPath it's definitely given me some ideas I will probably try later in the day as well when there is less direct light so I could probably get away with an nd32 or ND64

[@SimonPhillipsPhoto]

Yep wind certainly plays a big factor and shooting while the sun it high in the sky you're more likely to develop hot spots in your image. I can see in the photos despite the effort to try and get the exposure right theirs blown whites which he's tried to pull back using highlight recovery, it just looks flat the image when you lift the shadows as well.

[@azizimran8805]

As 1 of mini 3 user, this is gold information. How about taking long exposure photos/videos without filters? Thx

[@Yankeededandy62]

Nice, thanks for that. I found that it is possible to recover at least some of the overexposed areas in RAW images (at least with my Air2S), but you're right by saying it is better to slightly under expose instead.

[@RisenandRisen]

Would this be good for Hyperlapse too?

[@the_thomss]

Amazing scenery and great footage! I subscribed to see more Videos made by you. Dji Mini 3 is an awesome little drone. I own one myself too and create cinematic Videos. Keep it up bro! 👌🏽

[@FlytPath]

Thanks, will do!

[@rich_isf9043]

Hey man. Great video! Are you based in San Diego? I'm over visiting family from the UK in June/July for a month. Any good locations, times, considerations I should take on board whilst shooting there, to get the best out of my drone and visit? Thanks.

[@kuyajayyoutubechannel5389]

hi sir is this better than hubsan ?

[@UnmannedExplorations]

Thank you so much for this! I have been staying in video mode so much with the mini 3 pro because it has just felt like it performs leagues ahead of the still pictures. But I will be toying around with this in the future for sure. Additionally, would you recommend any polarization filters when shooting over water? I have the ND pack and polarization pack from Freewell. Thanks!

[@AllstarWZ]

Did you colour grade the final result photos? or is this standard mode?

[@oVISTASEK]

Wqs wondering the same

[@GraysonOD]

I see that the DJI store offers ND filters 16/64/256. Is the ND 1000 filter that you’re using here that much darker or is it using a different “scale” of ND measurement?

[@lewisclarke9910]

Do you have to edit the photos after you take them ? I’m so confused on the NDfilters

[@h-dawg969]

Have you done any hyper lapse with long exposure?

[@The_NSeven]

I can't wait to get my drone

[@Carlos87836]

My favorite place to go take pictures.

[@Phizy99]

Could you do a long exposure tutorial for cars on a high way at night?

[@dzodox]

Do you have to use the filters ? Because I usually edit my pictures so is it obligatory for long exposure shots ?

[@TensionRobloxOfficial]

How do I change my shutter speed

[@droneKRR]

mini 3? did you trade your mini 3 pro for a mini 3??? or (I'm sure!) is it just for the plot of your new hit?)))

[@FlytPath]

Still have the pro. Just want to show the options for the mini as well.

[@HeyitsmeSarah]

This drone is what I’m looking for, price range and performance wise.

[@mactek6033]

I have a hard time believing that a drone will stay as still as a tripod. It's not happening. Maybe if the air is dead still.
