Drone Photography

DJI released the Mavic Air 2 in late April 2020, with DPREVIEW calling it the "best all-around drone for most people." A lot of reviewers saw its 1/2" CMOS 12- and 48-megapixels (MP) image sensor, a game-changer for many photographers. Although it was one of its selling points, I have not observed any significant image quality difference between the 12- and 48-MP. Perhaps DJI is cooking up some useful functions for the 48MP in future firmware updates? DJI Mavic Air 2 Specification Size: 570 grams Image Sensor: 1/2" 48MP CMOS Focal Lengh: 24mm Aperture: f/2.8 Photos: 12MB and 48MB Video: 4K/60p and HD/240p Flight Time: 34 minutes Max Speed: 68 kph (42 mph) Reviewing it, I found it is worth every penny. Its videos and photos options are fantastic, especially with DJI's latest firmware (v01.00.0340) update for the Mavic Air 2 on August 10, 2020. The photographs below with the new DJI Mavic Air 2 are documentary. Visit related links below to learn more.

There are only around 16 red mangroves (Rhizophora racemosa) left in the area. There were thousands of them in the past. Copyright © 2020 Muntaka ChasantSalt marshes and mangroves.

Below are some estuaries in Ghana and their connecting network of rivers and lagoons with the new DJI Mavic Air 2: DJI Mavic Air 2 Sample Photos: View of an estuarine ecosystem in Accra, Ghana.

The canoes had been parked there for months because the fishermen get zero fish when they go out to sea. Fisheries is Ghana is already in decline, but climate change is exacerbating it.

He also gets zero catch when he goes out to sea. Ocean warming and factors such as 'saiko,' light and blast fishing have contributed to the increased incidence of poverty among canoe fishers in Ghana.

Around 8.2% of Ghana's population lives in extreme poverty, Ghana Statistical Services data shows. Around 45% of Ghana's population are multidimensionally poor. Meaning they struggle with overlapping deprivations such as poor nutrition, lack of basic sanitation, and inadequate housing.

Copyright © 2020 Muntaka Chasant Plastic Pollution in Ghana Recently shifted my focus towards highlighting the economic and environmental role the urban poor in Accra, Ghana's capital city, play in the country's plastic waste crisis. The urban poor in Accra roam streets, dumpsites, visit homes and swim in polluted waterways to recover waste recyclables generated mostly by the city's wealthy residents. But the role the urban poor play in reducing waste and helping to clean up the environment remains unrecognized. Here is a photograph of this situation shot with the DJI Mavic Air 2: Plastic pollution: Man is barely visible from a bird's eye perspective as he collects plastics from the heavily polluted Korle Lagoon in Accra, Ghana. The plastics sold for around $0.17 per kilo, but the coronavirus pandemic has crippled plastic recycling worldwide. More than 250 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated worldwide every year.
