One last image from Keystone, Colorado. I used the enhanced image feature in lightroom on this image. It definitely improved image sharpness.

Tried a sunrise pano image this morning. I still need to work on balancing ISO/shutter speed to keep noise down and/or try an HDR Pano. This is at ISO 1600 with the Mavic 2. If you have found settings that work for you, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks so much.
Still learning the Mavic 2 Pro. Here's a couple of images using the Mavic 2 Pano mode. In horizontal mode, the drone takes 21 images in three rows. While the drone will stitch the panorama in camera, it also provides all the stills. I find that LR and/or PS gives a slightly better result.

I just got a Mavic 2 pro and some recommendations from a more experienced shooter. He said f 2.8 is super sharp; so only stop down for depth of field issues. Also he has been able to use surprisingly slow (3 seconds in tripod mode = possible but inconsistent) shutter speeds depending on wind. At f5.6 sharpness is degraded some by diffraction. Has anyone else tried slower shutter speeds (1 sec?) to avoid higher iso?
Sorry this is discussion but Bob asked.
light snow limited light but went out anyway.

I thought f/5.6 was the sweet spot for lens sharpness on the Mavic 2 Pro and that diffraction degradation only occurs after f/8

I didn't test the lens for optimal sharpness but my friend did. He never shoots above f4. I have an rx100 which has 1" sensor. f4 is sharper than f5.6. Looks plenty sharp at f2.8.

The image above was taken at f/5.6. I have zero sharpening in this image. Interesting . . .
