I literally worn out my first drone ( flying into things, landing in rivers and hard landings). I am blind in one eye and depth perception is a very real issue when flying a drone. My new drone has obstacle avoidance both forwards and backwards. So far it’s flown perfectly. I lost sight of it on top of a mountain once, but the return home function worked as advertised. The camera is fantastic.
Nice image! Where was it taken?

I tend to agree that constant new gear does not constantly make you a better photographer. What would make your images better is upgraded post processing software. Are you keeping on top of the latest available? Highly recommend you look at ON1 Photo Raw Max for a do it all software that is far ahead of most of its competitors (yes, including Adobe LR).

We just got back from touring Europe and we probably saw at the most 10 people shooting with interchangeable lens cameras! Everyone else was using smartphones. Not saying that you’re not a photographer when using a smartphone! I use my Apple 14 Pro Max and I consider myself a photographer. I was even out of place using my little Sony RX100vii. Unbelievable! Not many years ago everyone who takes pictures were lugging around a big camera and lenses.
A 'real' photographer uses whatever equipment he/she has with him/her at the time the opportunity presents itself. Period. If the image does or does not warrant praise, so be it.

Anyone upgraded or bought-in? I have the 2023 version, it's not my primary editing software but comes in handy for a few things...wondering if the newest offers that much more?
Available in 8 days. I've been an ON1 user for years as an adjunct to Lightroom Classic. With this latest upgrade called ON1 Max, I'm finally migrating fully to it. Great stuff they are doing which, in turn, prompts folks like Adobe to speed up their improvements.

I might be missing something here but if a highlight is blown, it's not salvageable regardless of the format it was taken in. If you blow out a highlight shooting in RAW, there is no detail captured and no amount of post processing is going to get it back.
The point I was trying to make is that if it had been shot in dng format on my phone, it would have had more dynamic range and the sun probably would not have been so blown out.

Steady, MRJ. A sincere comment and/or question deserves more respect than shouting and five exclamation points. If you're not up to providing a thoughtful response that will aid in learning, then please move back to main discussion forum.
Perhaps you simply don't understand my kind of humor Ma'am.....😉

I liked it from the start. Sometimes you spend hours trying to get a desired effect in pp and never quite succeed, sometimes you get artifacts that totally ruin a picture and sometimes the artifacts add to the overall composition. Tone down the brightness a bunch and I think you have a keeper. 
Unfortunately, the sun highlight is totally blown out because, wait for it, ITS A JPEG!!!!! Not salvageable so its the best its going to get.....

I like the way the picture turned out after you had done HDR on it as I presumed that was the final image...
Hmm, well, I'm glad you like it...... jpeg artifacts, sometimes called banding, is normally something we try and avoid. Maybe I'll have to do more like this, eh? 😉

And it turned out great...
You like the layered jpeg artifacts or am I missing something?
