DJI Mini 4K - FIREWORKS DISPLAY - FAIL !!!!

Yes, This Video is a COMPLETE FAIL, although a great learning opportunity. We had a rainy day with a lot of moisture in the air, therefore the camera on the drone due to its location was on the wrong side of the fireworks and pretty much only captured the SMOKE CLOUDS, instead of a clear fireworks burst. That combined with taking a guess as to the shutter speed and ISO setting to use for this created a not so good adventure. As I always say, I've been doing this for less than a month and still learning. If you think you would want to watch any of my previous videos, you can watch them at this link.

Not sure why you view this as a complete fail. I think it's fantastic!

Thank you Betty..I just had higher hopes that the fireworks would be much better looking in the video than they ended up being. 😢

It's not a failure at all. You're getting out there and doing things. Those who sit back might be critical, but let them. You're the one making attempts to improve your skills, so keep on learning and flying. Drone photography involves a combination of two skill sets: flying and photography. You mentioned ISO. For night photography, you'll want to increase your ISO. Since these are fireworks and not the moon at night, your shutter speed will also need to be considered. Proximity to the subject is something else to consider. Don't consider your first attempt a failure. If learning took place, it was absolutely a win!

Thank you so much for the confidence booster! I'm definitely my own worst critic!
I think this Fireworks video turned out better than the previous one. My ISO was set at 3200 on the previous one and I tried setting it at 1600 on this one, The shutter speed ranges from 1/20 all the way to 1/4000..so nooooooo idea which one to pick. I tried the 1/60 on this video. I am just having a blast with doing this and learning more with each mistake. But when I watch the videos you have on your channel, you certainly have this all figured out as they are amazing from start to finish! ❤️
