Photography Tips

Check local drone regulations first. Keep your distance to the B2 road as german drone laws require. How ever you can get around it if you fly lower than the distance to the road or fly behind the road and use a tele on your drone like the Mavic 4.

When shooting at night use a bracketed sequence to capture the full dynamic range. Set your ISO and shutter speed to manual and take several shots. If there is no wind the drone shot be able to take exposures at 1 sec without blurring.

And don't try shooting it from behind, not worth it. Go with the pond and the reflection.
