Default Drone...as in the aircraft...(and video)

Totally different perspective of my lil guy....Hard to get the full effect with the sizing confines on here but I encourage anyone that has one to try it.
Enjoy....

It is a nice way to get a different perspective. This is how I got these shots. Just have to be careful where you shoot as it can throw up a lot of dust and rocks.

You do a filter on that shot ? Very Surreal ...

Default Drone...video of my 2016 Z51

I dropped some stills shot with the same drone earlier...just want to show my brothers ...whats possible. The challenge is navigating the arc around the car while at the same time adjusting the framing of the camera...You can see the drone in the reflection...this is unedited ..enjoy.

Looks like you might have a DJI, try exploring some of the automated flight modes, like the POI mode and others. Some fun stuff you can do :-)

No "filters", but some post editing on it in Lightroom. Cropping, color adjustments, clarity, etc.

I don't have the originals to work with,
but here's a quick pass at some adjustments on what you posted.
It's all a matter of the look you're trying to get and what you like of course, but there's a lot that can be done in post editing....

bbrown, your 2 threads are now merged. You're talking about your drone along with pictures and video of your car.

I think in most cases it's a great thing to do and what flag should be on America's Sports Car? When I attend a car show or a parade I've added these babies. Just saying!

When I drove my C5 on the 4th of July 2003...



After a 4th of July parade at our buddy's with my C6.....



And every car show or club event with my C7....

The drone shots do give a cool perspective on the cars.
