Ha ha - I actually laughed out loud there Marty. Thanks as always. I have a drawer full of dead cats - maybe I should take them out of the drawer eh..... All the best 👍🏻

Many thanks Michael - much appreciated. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Many thanks Colin - good to hear from you mate 🙏 We were only there for one night - it's so nice when it actually works out for a change eh. All the best mate 👍🏻

Cheers Barry - it was a crazy night! Thanks for watching.

Hey there Geoff - great to hear from you! I remember it well - you're from up the coast if I remember correctly. Hey, I've stood there many a time myself and it's usually a case of 5 minutes after I've packed up, the magic all happens, ha ha! Thanks for the comment - really appreciate it 👍🏻

Hey thanks Mike - good to hear from you! I must admit, it does look like there was some dodging and burning there but I think it may have just been the way the light was at the time I took the shot. There were lots of clouds passing overhead so I can only put it down to that as I didn't touch the road. I did lift the leaves on the tree on the right just a tiny amount as I found it was blending in with the background too much. "Where are we?" I thought it was funny that my mate Lefty couldn't remember either!

Couldn't agree more Debbie! It's a great location to keep on the hit list 👍🏻

Thanks so much Juanita - that's very kind of you. I thought it was funny that my mate Lefty couldn't remember where we were either! It was a bit of a whirlwind trip through the Flinders but it has such great variety for us photographers. All the best 👍🏻

Ha ha - thanks so much Fanny - really appreciate it 🙏 Yes, I thought it was so funny that my mate Lefty couldn't remember where we were either! It's a beautiful part of Australia and I would love to go back and spend more time there. We're continuing on with the lap for now though - the next video will be a good one from the following location - one of the best sunsets I've ever seen 😉 All the best!

Thanks K9 👍🏻 Yes, I tried voice isolation but the compression was really killing the whole audio track. I've got a couple of other plug-ins which didn't help much either unfortunately. What I really need to do is fix the problem at the source i.e. use my wireless mics and 'dead cats' etc - then the voice isolation would at least have have half a chance of working 😉. All the best and thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@klickinthewild Yup "fix the problem at the source." I learnt the hard way too.. All part of the video learning journey.. Cheers from Freo WA

Many thanks Richard 👍🏻 I always try to keep image sharpening very subtle, in fact I often dial down the opacity as well. I also use masks so the high contrast areas don't get too much sharpening. However, once you've done all this, exported the files and uploaded them to KZbin, the outcome doesn't always translate to what you were going for. Oh well, got to keep moving on eh - the original high res images didn't come out too bad. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Haha - thanks Paul 🙏 I thought it was funny that Lefty couldn't remember either! The Pano was one of those panic moments (I'm sure you've been there) where there was colour on both the left and right and I realised my 16-35 lens wasn't wide enough - then I suddenly thought..... PANO!! I was glad it came out ok 🙏

Many thanks Bryan - really appreciate it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Many thanks Barbara. Ha ha - yes, it's not too far from your back yard! Some beautiful spots to see up there - definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thanks so much Narelle 🙏 Yes, there's so much variety there from North to South. Glad you enjoyed the blooper - I had to leave that one in 😉

Many thanks Radim - really appreciate it. All the best 👍🏻

Many thanks twodogs - much appreciated. Yes I agree - I think the light was probably at its best on that shot. All the best and thanks for watching 👍🏻

Many thanks Merv 🙏 Yes, it's a stunning place - such variety between the North and South of the range. All the best and thanks for watching!

Many thanks Klaas 🙏 There are so many locations to shoot here - I hope you get great light during the visit. Brachina Gorge was a bit of a highlight and make sure you also take the road down past Razorback lookout - it was a fun drive. All the best!

Many thanks isotechimages 🙏 I know exactly what you mean - I flip between 'keeping it real' and 'getting rid of distractions' quite a lot and in this case, it certainly wouldn't have harmed the image. All the best!

Thanks so much Fanny - really appreciate it 🙏 He was very well disguised wasn't he. They blend in very well with their surroundings. Take care and thanks for watching 👍🏻

Many thanks Michael 👍🏻

Many thanks Robert 🙏 Yes, there's nothing quite like that rewarding feeling when you find somewhere new. All the best and thanks for watching!

Many thanks Marty - really appreciate it 👍🏻 Yes, I had to as the dynamic range in the cave was pretty extreme. I simply loaded the shots into LR, hit the HDR pano button and voila, it worked a treat. It's all about getting the tripod dead level eh. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@klickinthewild not sure if you're up to it, but I'd love to see you're work flow 🤔

Thanks so much Fanny - always good to hear from you! It was a great little find - especially when there were no signposts to tell you it was there. Thanks for watching and all the best 👍🏻

Many thanks Juanita! I have to admit to being a little gobsmacked when I saw all those carved out pools - there must have been a huge amount of water flowing through here over a fairly prolonged period for this to happen. All the best!

Thanks so much Paul - really appreciate it. It was an amazing little find and so many of those little carved out pools. Keep this one on the list 😉 All the best.

Hi Barry - it's a good question but I never really use presets. I tend to process everything from scratch. It's interesting because the more shots I do, the less processing I try to do - just try to keep everything subtle and minimal and take breaks i.e. go away and come back in 10 minutes to see if you like what you did to the shot 😉 Thanks for watching!

Many thanks Twodogs - really appreciate it. There were so many of those little carved out pools - you could spend hours there discovering it all 😉 Thanks for watching!

Many thanks Gary - really appreciate it. Actually yes, it was very tricky to get across - so many dead-ends and pools of water around every corner - worth it though. BTS Betty is alive and well ha ha!! All the best 👍🏻

Many thanks Michael - much appreciated 👍🏻

@@twodogs2009 many thanks 🙏

@@narelle4868 many thanks Narelle - much appreciated 🙏

Thanks Texmex 🙏. All of the shots in this video were taken on my Sony a7r4 and using the Sony 16-35 GM lens. All the best 👍

@@BarbaraMartin-f7m ha ha - thanks so much Barbara. What would we do without her 😉

@@MrBerry67 many thanks Mr Berry 🙏. Here's another one to keep on the list - you could spend days here and still not shoot it all. All the best 👍

@@gsly8203 many thanks Gary - really appreciate it 🙏. Yes the little Gorge was totally unexpected - we were in there for quite a while ha ha! Thank goodness for BTS Betty 😉 Thanks for watching and all the best 👍

@@mervroberts5134 thanks so much Merv - really appreciate the location tips too 🙏. Your kind comments have been passed on to the official BTS cinematographer and received with a big smile 😃. Thanks for watching and all the best 👍

@@fannyandersson3330 thanks so much Fanny. Yes it was a special kind of place - we sat for well over an hour just soaking it up and having some breakfast before I took the camera out or even before anyone else came into the area - bliss! Take care and thanks for watching 👍

@@debbieharry-clarke2918 thanks so much Debbie and keep the location tips coming - just love discovering all these new places ❤️. All the best 👍

@@Funktacula_Fotography ha ha - couldn't agree more Simon 👍. She's definitely staying BTS though as I have been well informed 😉

Many thanks Chris. Yes, I agree it's an incredible location. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Many thanks Tim. Yes, so many spots to explore up the gorge - a great location. Thanks for watching and all the best 👍🏻

Many thanks Graham. I think you'll love it - especially the little gorge. Yes, it seems he was definitely a python of sorts so I wasn't in too much danger of becoming his breakfast. All the best!

Many thanks Paul - really appreciate it. That little gorge was fantastic - definitely worth a visit. All the best 👍🏻

Many thanks! If you haven't been, it's definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

Carpet Python, he is beautiful.

@@davorocket2825 thanks Davo - I suspected that was the case but I wasn't going to put my fingers in there.... just in case, ha ha!

@@klickinthewild Also known as a Childs Python, as a general rule in Australia if the snakes head is wider than it's body it's a python and not venomous but better to do what you have done and photograph from a safe distance and leave him be about his business. If provoked they can still leave a nasty bite. BTW I'm jealous as buggery.

Thanks @alucard19 🙏 It was Wombarra beach at the Southern end near the rock pool. All the best 👍🏻
