I have put together a few short clips from my last few weeks with the Canon 5D MkII. I have no idea how to edit video footage, but just thought I’d share this anyway.

The footage is from:
Nerang River, Gold Coast, QLD
Springbrook National Park, Gold Coast, QLD
Perth, WA
Wategoes Beach, Byron Bay, NSW
Brindle Creek, Border Ranges, NSW

The sky was overcast so I thought heading out into the hinterland for some waterfall photos would be a good idea. I packed all my gear quickly and jumped in the car. Initially I was heading out to shoot Twin Falls in Springbrook National Park, but I never made it that far. I found a cool little creek along the way where this photo was taken. I spent an hour or so here walking around, looking for different angles, and waiting for the light to fade.

The next stop was at Natural Bridge where my camera battery ran out after only a couple hours of shooting. The 5D MkII batteries don’t seem to last very long with live view on. I guess I better buy myself a spare or two.

In the last post, I mentioned that the sunset on my first shoot with the 5D MkII was epic. Well, this is it. After rushing down to the beach, we missed a huge double rainbow, but we were still left with this nice golden cloud and sky to shoot.

I was going through some of my older photos this morning as I was backing up my archives onto my new external hard-drive and came across this photo I had forgotten about. I have processed it before but I don’t think I got the best out of it back then, so I re-processed it using some of the tips I have picked up from Darren Tierney recently, and am quite happy with the way it has turned out this time around.

I remember rushing down to the beach on this particular morning knowing that it was going to be a great sunrise. Well worth the early wake up, I reckon.

I’ve always wanted to try a shot like this; a really simple photo of tree trunks with lots of small detail and nice colours. I’d never really found a nice place to shoot what I had in mind, until the other day.

It’s a 6 photo stitch on a heavily overcast day. It was raining lightly while I was setting up and shooting so I had to be fairly quick to not get any water drops on the lens.
