LANDSCAPE photography | LOST in the OUTBACK | And a LUCKY find!

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

The franticness of this worked Pal, I like how you circled the building where many would have camped out upon arrival !

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Love that word D... franticness! And I was a moth drawn to a flame... without the head banging bit though. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Izzy, No Need For Any Apologies Mate, As I'm Beginner Photographer These Things Happen To Me All The Time. They're Hundreds Of Old Farm House's All Over South Oz, Especially Around The Flinders Rangers, I've Travelled Many Dirt Roads Exploring The Flinders, It's An Amazing Place, Have Fun Out There But Be Safe.😀😀📷📷📷📷

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you Gavin, I'm home now so I did survive 😂. That doesn't discount that care has to be taken, especially after rain some of the roads we were on were very treacherous indeed. And you are so right in the shear number of old homesteads spread across South Australia. It's a lifetimes commitment to try and get them all... I'll be happy with just a few of them. Glad you enjoyed the show

[@eltinjones4542]

There's nothing like a derelict building for a composition 📷 👍

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Eltin and an old derelict chasing after them too 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@helenbrecknell3930]

Oh joy! Disaster you say? Absolutely not! To be able to extract great images inspite of having to run around dodging sheep is what makes a great photographer. What you can make of less than ideal conditions just shows what a master of the craft you are. This was just the real world and the joys of painting with light. Definately NOT a bomb! See you next week

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you so much Helen... I'm still out of breath 😂. I was so lucky the colour stayed around for as long as it did. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@juanitakelly3082]

"Izzy's Big Adventures"!! And not a total disaster in the end - beautiful and haunting - and fun to stir up some excitement or it could be boring! I hope you are wearing a GPS collar so you can be found when wandering around in the dark outback! You could use those pictures to challenge short story writers to come up with some great ones about what might have gone on with those homesteads in the past!

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you Juanita, no not a disaster, and to be honest I would have enjoyed the sunrise in quiet contemplation if I hadn't stumbled across the old homestead. That's a great thought though about reminiscing about the life of pioneers gone by 🙏. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@roberthennessey5702]

Slow down Izzy ..we will survive ….beautiful captures😊🙌❤️

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed the adventure. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@bernym4047]

Such big skies and wide open spaces. Great for simplistic compositions. The tech bombing did not spoil the video. The colours in the sky were beautiful. My attitude for going on a landscape shooting expedition is expect to get nothing and after that everything is a bonus. Going with those expectations mean I'm always ready to take a chance. The alternative is staying at home and missing some great moments. Thanks pal.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers for coming along with me on this adventure buddy 🙏. That's a great approach to have Berny and a lesson for us all. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@RalphGoldsmith]

The panic of losing the location when the light is kicking off... we've all been there. Nicely recovered Izzy and some lovely images. Thanks for sharing

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Oh there is nothing like that once the panic sets in is there. Cries of "Oh no its going off" running through your mind 😂. Thanks for coming along and have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@IanSmissenPhotography]

Great fun Izzy! Love the puffing and wheezing. Reminds me of me chasing the grandkids around the park. Some beautiful images too. Keep up the great work ❤

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers buddy, it seems I puff and wheeze making a cup of tea these days 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@garrymee589]

One of your best in product and production, very enjoyable!

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you Garry, I was really worried I couldn't make a video using a single video camera 😂 Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@happymystic9800]

Beautiful conditions and images … well worth the elevated heart rate 😅 … Cheers, 😊

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very much buddy, always appreciated 🙏. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@jillbaxter4533]

I enjoyed this way more than your other videos! Much more entertaining seeing you out of breath, running around like a headless chuck. hahaha. It shows the passion you have and the excitement of being rewarded with beautiful light and conditions. Gorgeous images Izzy and what a place. Worth it? I'll say so. More of this please. take care Izzy

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Not sure I was a chuck more like a hippo 😂. I have to say I felt good after a mornings exercise though. That's the secret to photography, getting out and getting lucky 🙏 Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@gordonford1446]

Yet another great , inspiring video. Please keep them coming. You seem to be able to create a beautiful image from something I would pass by. You have a talent for educating as well as photography.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you for your kind words Gordon, I'm humbled 😊. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@georgehatzipantelis4642]

Stunning photos sir

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very much George, appreciated 🙏. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@waltervermeiren6860]

Beautiful photos and vlog Izzy. Also healthy exercise to lose calories, ha, ha!

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

😂😂😂, thank you Walter. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@GregCarrick]

You were able to salvage that with some great images :)

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you greg, much appreciated. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@NildoScoop]

The light was stunning. And so were the photos. 👍

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very much Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@keithklodzen7270]

Nothing to apologize for that's just the way things go sometimes. I particularly liked the next to last image with the small trees in front of the mountains in the background. I have a preference for horizontal compositions. You had some amazing light to work with. Beautiful images as always.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very much Keith, it was fairly hectic for a while and I am still kicking myself I didn't get there for twilight... but them's the breaks 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@metalmick99]

I think this clip was certainly worth the tremendous effort you expended to bring it to your channel, Izzy. I for one am most grateful. The house was magnificent - as were the photos - and I could see that someone, in a time long past, crafted it in a way that is no longer common. And _crafted_ describes your photos too: your attention to detail is a great lesson. I found the final photo particularly moving, though I also fell for the panorama at about 19 minutes. Can I suggest you check your map app to see if you can drop a pin, with the approximate location? It might prove advantageous. (I can vouch for this from recent experience wandering around a pine forest near Canberra Airport last week. I got totally disoriented because of my random wanderings.🙄)

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very, very much Mick, appreciation in extremis 🙏. The map suggestion is very apt and sensible (sensible is something I'm lacking in now and then 😂). I usually use an App called Map My Pic where I take a photo of something and it categories it by location, producing a bespoke 'map' of my locations. I didn't think I would need it as I was going to photography a blooming big building in an empty field... boy was I wrong 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@colinstalker]

I felt your struggle Izzy. Such a horrible time when it's all happening and the tech stops 😢 Plus, trying to vlog and get the shot. Fantastic location captured so well mate !

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you very much Colin, it was certainly a struggle (and juggle 😂). Luck payed a large part of it... oh and probably me being very stubborn 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@rosssayer6524]

I was puffing just watching you run around Izzy, don't worry there have been times when I've been in the same position, sorry for the late comments not a good week. You managed to capture some really good images so that was a bonus, thought your shot at 18:45 was my pick, I kept yelling come left come left, and you did. Thanks again for sharing this with us and have a great week.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

I hope everything has turned out ok this week Ross, and never worry about a late comment I appreciate every second you give me, and especially so if your week has been bad. I must have heard you instruct me to go left through time and space 😂. I hope you have a much better week ahead buddy 🙏🙏🙏

[@allenmoore9848]

I am hoping to visit the flinders rangers soon, might be next year at this stage. Thanks for the view from your camera. Sounds like you were huffing and puffing a bit. Cold air and excersion maybe?

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Allen, you have to get there, and soonest is best. I am ashamed to say it took me 3 years to visit and now I can't wait to get back. It's a magical place that's for sure. Have a great week buddy 🙏🙏🙏

[@tonys3112]

No need to be sorry for all the running around, made the video, because we all know the excitment of light kicking off and trying not to miss it :)

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Tony... oh the excitement soon pushed all thoughts of anguish into the background. It was a bit of a juggle taking the video along with the images but I think I got there 😂 Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@barryaitken9761]

Good to see you getting some exercise Izzy. What strength grad were you using.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Barry... I just realised that I omitted that from my setting... my apologies 🙏. it was a 1.2 soft grad. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@tomwebb5148]

Breathless in the outback, good to see your old brain can still order the body to pump out some adrenalin to get you going. I haven’t seen you do that much running for quite a few years. Very amusing. Oh and some of those shots turned out rather well don’t you think? Well done Iz

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

I was hoping to achieve some sort of terminal velocity (but not terminal in all definitions 😂). Was a bit of fun (did I say pushing this old carcass to its extreme limits fun 😂) after being a tad despondent. A bit of luck with the light and colour was very welcome though. Have a great week buddy 🙏🙏🙏

[@peterfritzphoto]

Wow - what a location! I’ve wanted to visit the Flinders Ranges for decades. Love the images you captured , Izzy - especially under such stressful circumstances. My son heard the panting coming from my phone and wondered what I was watching… BTW, did you sort out why the video camera kept failing?

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

I'm not sure if it was better to lie and say porn or show him the truth... an ageing photographer trying to propel his bloated carcass across the outback 😂😂😂. I have a couple of faulty batteries that dispel if left for more than a couple of days after charging. I'm trying to get to September when GoPro traditionally release a new model... and they may have a different battery to go with it. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@peterfritzphoto]

@@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography Haha!! I switched from GoPro to the DJI Osmo Action 4 a while back, and they've been fantastic - especially in low light.

[@williamarthur2686]

Hi, on the first image, did you Auto bracket as in, one stop over and one stop under. I thought I heard the camera clicking three times. If so then stack the image, it’s a lot of work.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers William, I never use the auto bracket option, when I need to exposure blend I prefer to do it manually. I also stack and blend manually too and you are right sometimes its a lot of work... worth it though. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@johncarter591]

So did I hear you say most ruins have lights on them at Night??

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers John, I should have explained myself a bit more clearly... the homesteads on the main road have spit lights illuminating them. The ones out in the wilderness around them don't hence me not being able to find the old derelict building in the pre-dawn gloom. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Usain Bolt couldn't have photographed it better. Quicker maybe, but not better!

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

I'm more like Usain Bloat 😂, thanks buddy really appreciate you taking the time out to watch, like and comment. Look ofter yourself Nick 🙏🙏🙏

[@wilsonsantos384]

Hello Izzy, you are using the monitor to record your settings, focus for the video or a second monitor?

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

All three Wilson, I record through the lens to show the audience what I am taking and I also use it as a monitor as I keep forgetting my glasses 😂. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🙏

[@wilsonsantos384]

@@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography I have The same problem probably I will use a monitor as a second screen. Issues with my eyes too. 😂

[@williamarthur2686]

Hi, do you edit each image then blend them, or blend them together and then edit one image ?

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Good question William, I edit each image and then blend them... it might take longer but I prefer to do it that way as I have to normalise the light and colour in each image so that they seamlessly blend into one. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
