Sunrises and Sunsets by J.R. Drones
A collection of sunrises and sunsets I have captured with my drone photography.
I wanted to start this album off with a recent sunset picture I captured. I captured this picture using 3x auto exposure bracketing (AEB). I captured 27 images and used Lightroom to merge them to create an high dynamic range (HDR) panorama. I love how the dark clouds add balance to the bright sunrise, and the beautiful colors created by the light.
A couple more pictures I captured of the same sunset. The picture on the right was captured using a combination of AEB and vertical panorama effect. I love the angle and perspective it created.
I love taking advantage of my proximity to the University of Georgia for photographic opportunities. The athletic facilities can make for some excellent sunset pictures. I captured this set of images using the "smart" photo setting on my DJI Air 2s. I wanted to play with the simplicity of the feature, as opposed to using AEB.
Downtown Athens has also been a fantastic spot for capturing sunrise and sunset photos. This first photo used the pre-programmed panorama effect on my DJI Air 2s. I love the visual effect this creates with the two main parallel roads appearing to run together.
Summer has arrived here in Georgia and I am quickly finding that right before or after a storm presents a unique photographic opportunity. This photo was taken in my neighborhood right after a thunderstorm. I set my drone in my backyard, took off straight up, and snapped this picture.
If you made it this far thank you for checking out my work!
