Skiing Mt. Pilchuck

[Jim Dockery]

Brought my drone along for the first day of skiing Mt. Pilchuck this year. The snow is going fast and was a bit slushy/mushy but we still had fun. These frame grabs aren't perfectly sharp because I was using a 32 ND filter for the video.

Neat images, and did you really mean 32 ND? Sounds like welding googles.

Interesting way to catch images while you were having fun skiing. I have to agree with Ben - 32 stops would be beyond darkness.

A 32 ND is 3 stops? I hate how the ND companies seem to be changing how we ID ND filters instead of by steps. To call a 1 stop ND a “8” makes no sense to me photographically.

Good shots by the way!

Jim is right, 3 stops, which helps keep you shutter speed in the 120th/sec range for smooth video on a sunny day on snow.
