When I saw my girlfriend's dad starting skating on the lake even if there was a good 10cm of snow, I immediately got the drone out to capture a video. At my surprise the pattern he was creating by his skates in the snow looked so good I got altitude to capture a topdown shot. It was looking like a flower stem.Editing
Yes, I increased the shadows on the sides, but also turned the colors Into this moody blue/gray colors. Also removed a bit of natural motion blur around the skater because I had a Nd filter on for video filming.In my camera bag

Jump on the moment! Because I wanted my girlfriend's dad to go again since I knew I had motion blur introduced in the photo, but it just didn't happen. Luckely I was able to recover the shot.
