Scott's Random Pics

Re: Scott's Australian Walkabout

Well I am off for a photoshoot tonight, have had to organise a permit and ranger to be with me the whole time. Looking at getting the milkyway over a certain rock here in Kakadu National Park, but the trick is that the area is closed of an evening so the ranger needs to stay with me just incase. Also we have started getting clouds in the afternoon so this may ruin the shot for me, but have planned to stay there until 11pm (hope the ranger does not mind). I had planned this shoot months ago but then was involved in that car accident, so fingers crossed it pays off this time. If it doesn't then I may still end up with a decent timelapse.

Just merging 67 D800E images into a panorama which comes to 13.7GB could be a long night.

Got out again this evening for the sunset, while waiting this Egret was trying to sneak up on me.

Here you can see it stalking me through the bush.

Then it pretended to be busy hunting smaller prey

And this is what an Egret looks like when it looses its meal. The fish slipped from its beak.

Well I have decided I need to get practicing my timelapse and specifically 4K timelapse as that is what will be required in the documentary. But you have no idea how long it takes to process and convert 700+ images in LR and then I need to add them into my timelapse program. Slowly but surely it will happen. Stay tuned.

Need a much faster computer for this...

Timelapse is a long slow process.

CPU peaking at 730% use lol 54 threads.

How long will it take ?

Bet the cooling fans come on.

Probably take a few hours, going to sleep and see if it is done in the morning.

This is a great spot for sunset, I would love to do a Milky way shot from here but it is locked of an evening and the Traditional owners will not allow me access after dark (I have asked).

One of the images I captured this afternoon. I love the added drama with the magpie geese fighting in the foreground.
