u/No-Butterscotch1604

My wife and I headed up to the high elevations yesterday in hopes of catching a sunset. I set my M1 Pro up for a timelapse and things were looking promising for a while. A big clap of thunder overhead and storms moving in put an abrupt end to shooting from there. After we got home, I changed some settings and set the camera up on the roof in hopes of catching some leftover meteors. The results are at the end of the video. Camera settings are in the description of the video on YT.

My wife and I hit a couple of local waterfalls yesterday. Getting to them is mostly on trail, with a bit of creek walking. This is the first one we visited. Even with partly sunny conditions, light was low, so I kept camera movements to a minimum and used a mini tripod for a lot of clips. Everything was shot in 4K 30 except the one slomo clip that's 4K 240.

I'm still waiting to see if GoPro releases a quality macro lens for the M1Pro. In the mean time, I've been experimenting with close up lenses I already had. This video was with a 67mm B+W +3 on a 58mm filter adapter I got on Etsy. I cropped in 1.5x in post to get rid of some of the edge distortion. The version on YT is 4K - more settings are in the video description.

I wanted to be able to use a polarizing filter on my M1 Pro when shooting around waterfalls and streams, so I bought the 3D printed 58mm filter adapter. I already had a spare 62mm polarizer and ND filter, so I'm using a 58-62mm step up ring for those. It looks like it would be easy to cross thread the threaded part of the plastic adapter so I'll just leave the step up ring in it at all times and just unscrew the filters from the ring. I also already had a 58mm Canon 250D close up lens, so I used a 62-58mm step down ring to attach it to the other ring and tested it around home today. I'm getting good focus from about 12 to 8 inches from the subject, but there's distortion around the edges. For the hummingbird video, I zoomed 1.5x in post. Shot in 4K 240. I'm still hoping for a macro mod from GoPro.

I tried a nightlapse with the M1 Pro for the first time last night and this is what I got. We live in a Bortle Class 5 area, so not ideal for night photography. I set the camera up on my roof in hopes of catching some of the neighborhood fireworks and had the camera hooked up to a power bank. Shot in 8K30 4:3, rendered in 4K 16:9. Other settings - video - no photos, interval 20 seconds, auto shutter, auto white balance, sharpness low, denoise medium, wide lens, 10 bit, bit rate Max, ISO 25-1600, EV 0.0. I did a little tweaking in DaVinci.

I took my M1 Pro up to one of western North Carolina's clear mountain streams a couple of days ago to see what underwater footage I could get around some of the cascades. This is a couple of minutes of what I got. Shot in 4K120 for the most part with a little 4K240 - GP-Log2.

I headed to a local waterfall last week to play around with some settings on the camera. It's one of the waterfalls featured in the movie Last of the Mohicans. This is a short clip of what I got around the upper section of the falls. I could have definitely used an ND filter for the 30fps to bring the shutter speed down, but I like the way the 120 and 240 turned out. In some cases I preferred the 120 to the 240. The YouTube compression didn't do the 30fps any favors. The original clips have a lot of detail. The audio is from the M1 Pro, but it's all from the 30fps clips. I still have a lot to learn working with log footage.

I've had my M1 Pro for a little over a week now and will mainly be using it while hiking and traveling. I'm also experimenting with using it to capture backyard birds. This was shot in 8K 60 linear and I used the free version of Davinci Resolve to zoom. In the first part of the video, I zoomed slowly from 1X to 3X and thought the detail held up fairly well for my purposes. Other camera settings are in the video description.
