- I had a little time after work while waiting for rush hour traffic to die down before driving home, so once again, here is another video I shot at Tempe Town Lake. Honestly, I am not at all satisfied with the way this one turned out, but as they say, you're your own worst critic. I plan on trying this out again in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for more video from Tempe Town Lake. Enjoy!

Came out great man!
Thanks, Kep.
Very well done Matt. Cheers 🍻
Thank you. 🙂
Actually, I was not at all pleased with my original footage, or this edit. I am still learning this artform, and I think I still have a long way to go. I shot this video yesterday afternoon/early evening, so the light was super variable as the sun was setting. Since I had started off filming with an ND64 filter, I ended up just changing ISO and shutter speed on the fly. The variances made a lot of the footage I captured unusable since each shot's lighting changed, and I still don't know enough about Adobe Premiere Pro to fix all of the lighting in post. I plan on going back and trying again though. Next time I will just configure my ISO and shutter speed once before I start my flight, and leave it that way throughout the flight/shoot. Also, if it's later in the day towards sunset, I might not even use an ND filter. 🤷♂
@@mattsarizonaaerials I’ll tell you a secret. I use an ND8 filter (basically as a lens cover) and I leave the settings on auto. It’s RUclips blasphemy not to use a stronger filter with a flat color profile, blah blah blah, but every time I listen to the “experts” I want to pull my hair out and throw away the footage. There’s one I did recently called “Seeking Saguaros” that I nearly tossed out because everything was shot in D-Cinelike with an ND64 and manual exposure settings. I’m done with that. Who am I (or the RUclips film experts) to claim I can do better than DJI in knowing what exposure and color settings are best for a given day. End of rant.
@@desertexplorations, right? I hear you, but like I said in the video description, I am my own worst critic. There's something about the whole process that I enjoy, and I'm striving to get better. I see videos on other people's channels that, in my opinion, are horrible, and yet they have thousands of followers...blah blah blah. I don't even really have a set goal, other than I enjoy what I am doing, and I just want to be the best I can be at it. When I know I can do better, that is what drives me. I am a perfectionist by nature, so obviously I have a very long way to go to achieve that, and who am I kidding? Perfection is unrealistic. In the meantime, I'll just keep doing what I am doing, and trying to get better at it.
@@mattsarizonaaerials great attitude. We share the same passion.
Seems like Tempe is to Phoenix what Bellevue is to Seattle. Or quite possibly what Vancouver (WA) is to Portland (OR). 🤔
Tempe is where ASU is. It's a college town suburb, and part of the Phoenix/metro area.
@@mattsarizonaaerials Word. I'm actually in Tucson, which is about 2 hours southeast of PHX. We are actually considered a "college town" ourselves to some people, with the University of Arizona being here. I just meant it in terms of skyscrapers, high-rises & downtown central business district correlation. Tempe appears to operate economically similar as a Metro/Urban suburb the way Bellevue & Vancouver relate to Seattle & Portland. However, I've spent some time in Bellevue & Bellevue's downtown skyline is much bigger in scale. But still somewhat similar in comparison. It's kinda like Burbank or Long Beach for Los Angeles. They both have high-rises in their downtown skylines. Glendale in Cali is kinda sorta large as well.
Just curious. I tried to fly in the area and got stop by Tempe City Troop saying it’s a no fly zone. Is that truly the case? Saw many videos on RUclips shot around Tempe town lake
Where exactly were you standing while you were flying your drone when the police officer approached you?
Not the Tempe beach park (I saw that’s the only no take off/landing zone). I was on the north side of the lake, between two Tempe town lake bridges. Feel the officers just don’t know anything about the regulation (I am flying DJI mini2 which doesn’t require any registration)
I am new to drone community so I might be wrong. But don’t want any trouble so didn’t argue and just left.
@@peterlin4653 I use this link as a reference. www.tempe.gov/government/sustainability-and-resilience/aircraft-noise/hobbyist-drones This link is hosted by the City of Tempe, so it's official. Specifically, scroll about halfway down and you will see they have two five-mile maps. There are some red areas depicted that indicate the specific areas where you are not allowed to launch or land. Other than that, ALL airspace nationally is regulated solely by the FAA. You are subject to all rules set forth by the FAA. My suggestion to you is to do your research before you fly, as well as get your TRUST and Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate. In the area around Tempe Town Lake, the FAA restricts drone flights to 100'. You can use apps like Air Control by Aloft, and/or B4UFly to gain automated airspace flight approval within controlled airspace, known as LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization Notification Capability). That area in and around Tempe Town Lake is Class B airspace for Sky Harbor (KPHX). You need to be very diligent when flying in that area due to approaching and departing commercial passenger aircraft, as well as tons of low power lines, people, automobile traffic, etc. Seriously, and I mean this with all due respect, go get your certification. It will force you to learn and understand the rules of UAS operations. Keep me updated with your progress. I'm interested to know what you decide to do. Best of luck to you, and thanks for checking out my channel.
