Unseen Australia

[Dale D]

Australia is so much more than the Sydney Opera House and the Great Barrier Reef, it is both a country and a continent. This vast nation is the same size as the USA, but with just 7% of its population.
Here is just a glimpse of the Australia you didn't know. Shot on both the Mavic and Mavic 2 Pro, see if you can guess which shots are which!

Chris:

That was truly spectacular footage, accompanied by expert editing, and sound track. Every clip was timed perfectly- leaving me wanting a few more seconds to enjoy it-The stand-outs were the camel caravan, both from a low angle and from above showing the long shadows of the low sunlight. Also the fiery red sunset Was gorgeous.

Bravo on a truly enjoyable video experience, and all in a short 3 minutes!

Thankyou for your work. Recognised many of the places.

Absolutely outstanding work. Setting the standard very high. How long did it take you to accumulate all that footage?

Impressive!!! THIS is what I'm striving to achieve with my videos, but that is a long ways away for me. Just curious, were you trying to capture the lightening strike or was that just an added bonus?

Beautiful video and sound stage. There is a lot of iron oxide in Australia's geology!

Geez, this is National Geographic level stuff. Fantastic! That shot from above looking down at the guys on and with camels and their long shadows, did I see that somewhere else as a photo?

Great video. Congrats!

Beautifully done, I really enjoyed this video

This is as good or better than just about any drone footage I've seen. Expertly flown. Artistically edited. As professional as any travelogue on TV. Good on ya mate!

The overhead shot of the camel caravan is one of the BEST shots I've ever seen. I would LOVE a still frame of that for my office wall. Truly well done. Good on ya mate.

Simply amazing work, silly question but did you do color grading? I think most of them were the Mavic two yes

Indeed it was a Nat Geo pic I think you were referring to . . .

Photographer George Steinmetz.

Plenty of other such examples google images > camel shadow photo

When I get back to Australia I definitely need to head out to the outbreak, never ended up getting to NT! Fantastic video!

Yes Jet, I a color grade every shot, every time and shoot in HLG format. I don't manipulate images though, just tweaks in FCPX.

Yes the camel shot has been done to death by now but I still love them! George's time of day was arguably better as the angle of the sun gave a more representative shape of real camels

Yes trying to capture. I've learned when something spectacular is happening shoot and shoot until you have a shot you are happy with, you may never have that chance again. For that shot I slowly tracked sideways back and forth in the same spot until I got the shot I was happy with (there were other strikes) This is the kind of shot a helicopter can't get as they wouldn't be flying in it! My motto is "Who dares wins"

 

[christangey]

Fabulous footage, expertly edited, you make it look so effortless ??

Thanks Stargazer, the most effortless shot on screen is the most planned and rehearsed shot I think!

I can send you a still Blub but not sure what the quality would be like from video, might be OK from 4K

 

[christangey]

Very nice! I lived in Australia for a couple years in the 80s. It is an amazing and very diverse place. And as a rockhound and lapidarist, who buys and trades rocks with people all over the world, Australia has some amazing stones also!!

thanks Summit, did you ever come across Craig Bosel or Dehne McLaughlin? They are both big in rock-trading over here.
