Porcupine Mountain - Michigan UP

[Craig Zerbe]

Nice spot for a drone. You can see Lake Superior in the background with Lake of the Clouds in the fore. Mavic Air 2. Generally do a 3 AEB and then manually pan the drone to
get a wider angle shot. I use the HDR/Pano stitch the 6-9 images together in LR. I have found Topaz Denoise does a real nice job of the additional noise that drone images generate.

Wow - those are some very nice views of that area and the colors are an amazing bonus. I love the atmospherics in the first image.

Amazing shots.

Awesome work Craig! Those are great fall color pano’s from a drone.

I was in Michigan and part of UP, but I know I barely scratched the surface of it. I am hoping to get back there again this year.

Great job Craig. Thanks for the explanation, I typically use my drone for pano shots but adding the bracketing looks great. And I didn’t know Michigan allows drones in their parks, don’t ask about Wisconsin

For the most part, I have not had issues in state parks.

Jaw dropping! Love these, such a wonderful location, captured at the right time of year for fantastic color, expertly processed. Inspirational stuff for sure. Appreciate the extra details on how the images were captured and put together too - very helpful for those of us just starting out with drone photography!
