First Mavic snow run

There had been snow showers in the night which is partly why some bits are whiter than others!
It seems crucial to get exposure right - more so than Phantom 3.
Even one click (0.3) too bright or dark and things go wrong quickly, fortunately it can be gradually tweaked even dynamically through a scene in Adobe Premiere but this is all rather slow and tedious.
I used the auto exposure and towards the end you can see it changing as I tilt up and down.
At least the change is smooth and probably better than spotting the required change and clicking manually in 0.3 steps.



Meanwhile a few stills I took were a little disappointing as I don't seem to have switched back to RAW from JPG following last firmware update.
Though I thought I did whichmakes me wonder if actually it reverted on its own, worth checking in future as JPGs have quite a lot of NR applied.

Still quite good at larger size - click it.
