    Lets See Some Drone Shots

    Here are a couple more taken with my new Fimi X8 SE 2020 drone. I like the still images it takes and it has a 'wide panorama' mode and takes three rows of four images (top, middle and bottom) and does a reasonably good job; however, the downside is that when it takes these images they are JPEG...

    Lets See Some Drone Shots

    The old Mt Jackson was a large cattle station (same as a ranch) and it had over 40 buildings there - many were houses for the workers and the homestead in the photo was originally the Freemason's Lodge. Eventually, overtime the Station downsized and the Freemason's Lodge became the homestead...

    Is an overland trailer really worth the expense?

    The problem is, that they are too big in many cases and I personally wouldn't want to be towing one off road, particularly in some of the remote places I go and intend to go, but then each to their own. Karl

    Is an overland trailer really worth the expense?

    There are even better ones here - the whole Campertrailer industry is really big over here and with Covid it is going to get bigger as supply isn't keeping up with demand! People here aren't sure when international travel without restrictions will begin again so they are now turning back to our...

    Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else. We will not further define "overlanding".

    At the end of the day, does it really matter what it is called (Overlanding that is)? - regardless of what definition is used everyone will have their own definition anyway :grinning: Here in Australia where the term was first used, most of us just call it 4WDing. AFAIK the term...

    Satelite Phone - Which One is Best?

    I live in Western Australia and within a couple of hours you are in remote country with no mobile / cellphone reception. In fact most inland country (within 3 hours of major cities or towns is remote) so you need good comms at all times. I have two systems: 1. A Spot Gen 3 Personal...

    Playing In The Sand Dunes With My New (And Cheap) 2x Teleconverter

    Thanks and yes it is a great area those dunes. Unfortunately the images don't do them justice in regards to their size as they are a lot steeper than they look :grinning: Unfortunately I didn't do any video on this trip; however, I will be back up that way in a few months, so I will do a...

    Playing In The Sand Dunes With My New (And Cheap) 2x Teleconverter

    Went up to an area north of Perth, Western Australia with some friends to play in some sand dunes, so I took the opportunity to try out my new 2x teleconverter on my Canon 7D and Sigma F2.8 70 - 200mm lens. It seemed to work okay and I am more than happy with it - especially as it only cost...

    Feedback wanted on this photo.

    Your exposure is a little long as the stars have tails - this happens because the earth has moved during the exposure. Not sure which you are trying to capture here - is it the stars in the sky or the aircraft? Firstly for any night time photo I would suggest using manual mode so you have full...

    Great photos. Where I live is the opposite - Western Australia is 2.65 million square kms, so I have plenty to explore, so much so I don't know where to start :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: Karl
