Some images from The Doc’s New Zealand trip. Well known locations but from some different angles, like Queenstown, the blue lakes at St Bathans, Moeraki Boulders and the Southern Alps. Click on the images to see the sideshow at full size.
It took some time but The Doc has finished his Guide on the West MacDonnell Ranges. The Guide starts and finishes at Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The Guide is here.
You can then do the East MacDonnell Ranges, that Guide is here.
The Guide on the West MacDonnell Ranges has detailed maps, location notes and images. The number of images meant The Doc had to use high compression and so there are some artefacts in some images. It is a very detailed Guide. You could easily spend 2 or 3 weeks doing the West MacDonnell Ranges and another week doing the East MacDonnell Ranges.
The Doc revisited his Cape York images – the 4 Day Helicopter trip around Cape York that is. Bungie was the copter pilot. Enjoy.
Some gorges and rivers from Kakadu and Arnhem Land, plus the Robinson R44 used for the trip.
The Doc had a very good response to the last sets images. So he reviewed more photos from his 4 day helicopter trip around Kakadu and Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. It has been almost 3 years since that trip but the images bring back wonderful memories.
The theme this time is waterfalls, some famous like Jim Jim Falls and others nameless. All with good water flow after the wet season.
A second instalment on gorges and rivers will follow. Nick, the helicopter pilot, is in one of the images. The next set of images will have the trusty steed, the Robinson R44 helicopter!
There is a massive escarpment in Arnhem Land that divides most of Arnhem Land up on the plateau from the smaller coastal part. Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls are examples of water flowing off the escarpment in Kakadu National Park. It is rarely shown.
During my helicopter trip over Arnhem Land and Kakadu I flew along the escarpment. Here are some images, the escapement is HUGE (especially in a helicopter about 100m away.)
Some images of the brush turkey. Not the best looking Australian bird, but he was busy tearing up the garden mulch trying to get it to nearby bushland to make a mound.
Destroying the gardens at Smugglers on the Beach at Coffs Harbour, where I am staying for a few days.
Not much time for photography on this trip, more like painting, pressure cleaning and gardening. The Doc did manage some trips, around Ballina and Broadwater National Park. Some barks and perhaps a Coral Lichen. Enjoy. You must click on the images to see then at full size (the thumbnails look soft).
Previously The Doc missed some shots but today everything went as expected, confirming he now has good in field technique when using the Post Focus feature on the Panasonic G9, even the hand-held shots worked today. The images are between 30 and 75 frames stacked into one image. Click on the images to see full size.
The Doc has been working on a new way to image stack in the field. He is using the Post focus feature on a Panasonic G9. Here are some of the sample images from recent field testing. Most images have somewhere between 17 and 50 images stacked together. The images are so sharp, that they look fake. The Doc is trying to soften the images in post-processing to make them look more realistic. Click on the images to see full size.
