Here you go - some of my astro / nightscape images from Western Australia.
Abandoned farmhouse at Damperwah in the Karara Rangelands - light painted the house.
Old Narloo Station homestead under the Milky Way - using just natural light.
This time with the homestead light painted in...
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...
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...
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.

Here are some taken with my old Phantom 3 Standard here in Western Australia. I now have the Fimi X8 SE 2020 drone but haven't had the chance to get out and use it but I have included one image taken in my local area.
The Old Mt Jackson Homestead, Yilgarn Region, Western Australia

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...
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...
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...
Its summer here in Australia which means long days and short nights where I live, so yesterday I headed down to a local spot to capture the sunrise and play around with long exposure and the following are the result.
I hope you like them.

One from the weekend at our annual Xmas campout with my 4WD Club, great fun and great weather now that summer is almost here :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

I would love to upgrade as well but I am currently 'Gainfully Unemployed' / semi-retired so money is a little tight but the 7D is working well and I still love it :grinning:
Karl
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...
And a few more from that day but with my Canon 6D and F4 24 - 105mm lens
I hope you enjoyed them.

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...
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:
