Toyota Landcruiser shoot for North Borders Photography Comp
My wee shoot to try and get a shot for North Borders Photography comp. I was planning on shooting an Evo10 but that fell through sadly, hopefully still get to shoot that at some point in the future, but in the meantime, it's toy cars.

My 1st TEMU model car purchase, not sure if it'll be my last haha Can't believe they've gone up in price since I bought mine. Exchange rate maybe???

After nearly half a year away from creating YT vids, I'm back... kinda! It's a short one as my plans got a little supered this morning. The location I had all planned out in my mind was under construction, so I couldn't film there. I had to make a quick decision on where I could go to shoot, Omaha Beach was the closest location. It's also my 1st landscape shoot with my new Viltrox lens on the N...

I'd hoped for fog at this wee location about 10mins from my home. It would have made this video and associated photographs epic IMO! Turned into a bit of a difficult morning, with the sunrise fizzling out and the area not offering much else compositionally.

2 Photography Locations and a little Flying Camera Action!

It was off to the satellites and Cement works of the Rodney District of Auckland on this particular mornings photography outing. Oh boy, was I pleased when I arrived at the satellites to see a little ground fog. Cement works were hard work though, I think in better light or for some Astro, it could be winner winner, chicken dinner! Socials: paulbelliphotography PAULBE...

Takapuna, Auckland - JPG v Raw Photography
Переглядів 6611 місяців тому
So my unscientific approach to JPG v Raw photography reaped some rewards. It showed me that shooting in JPG, if the conditions are mint and you know you don't have to do to much post-processing, you can still get pretty nice shots. JPG is very limited though, especially for more complex scenes that require high dynamic range and possible colour change dynamics. I will use JPG in some situations...
Photography conditions were bland, but I make the most of what I've been given!

Arnold Classic Big Bench Press - 3rd attempt
Really interesting! Nicely done! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪
@@Daniel_Oberg Hi Daniel. Thank you very much and greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Very clever m8. Great little video and shots.
Hi Andrew, appreciate it mate. So much goodness along my local coastline.
That first top down shot is awesome!
@@JarredSpec Thanks mate! Had a lot of fun shooting it, racing around using as much as I could in the area with the time I had. Was very aware I had a baby that would wake at any given time waitin at home haha... I should preface that with my wife was at home with baby no2 haha
Well done! Good tour. Love Kerosene Creek, and never been successful at Tawhai Falls.
Cheers James, defo need to come back down for another visit. Yea, those falls were harsh, would have been sweet in flat light. Maybe astro could work there 🤷♂️
Very clever Paul. Loved it.
Hi Andrew, how are you mate? Not on X anymore. Thank you, new little direction I'm veering off into 😊
Great video, man!!! Like the effects on the rear tire and flying debris. Well done!
Cheers James, yea takes a bit of work and planning with layers 😊
Nice one man!!! Entering the Auckland Camera comp?
Thanks Jarred. Yea, I'm entering a few shots, not this one though. Got another one I prefer that I'll enter 😊
Phong cảnh đất nước bạn rất đẹp cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video rất hay
Thank you very much. It's very pretty here indeed 😊
Nice work mate & congrats on the top 10 placing 👍
Thanks Andy, it was a nice little surprise and for me personally, out of the 4 I submitted, not the one I would have chosen haha
Good video my man
And good luck for the comp!
Cheers Greg, bit of a long one, but heaps to fit 😊
Welcome back!
Haha, cheers James. Working on a big vid all month-long right now 😁
Nice one mate! The last triplet shot was probably my favourite!
Cheers mate 😊
Nice one Paul. Cool to hear the fantail while you were shooting the first mushroom. Also looks like a good spot to shoot if we get any foggy days.
Cheers mate. Yea, due to my poor audio it picks up everything, not such a curse this time around though haha. Yea, these woods would be too dense for any fog to penetrate I think.
Love the cap ;)
Haha, cheers bro - was too early to do the hair.
Good to see ya back man. Looking forward to more vids 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, Jarred 😁 I made it too complicated with all the gear from the get go. Pulled the tech back a few steps to enjoy adding the video element to my stills.
are you using an ND filter?
Hi John - I don't have any ND's yet. No filters used in this vid.
Great spot down there, lovely images, especially like the boats in a row. Keep the creativity coming
Great shots Paul. Nothing is more rewarding than getting some solid shots to compensate for that super early effort to get to a location before sunrise and set up. Subscribed from New York City.
Good morning from Auckland, Ted - Thank you so much, that means a lot mate 😃 Putting together a wee cheat sheet to take out with me to practice the different flying camera moves. It really is a beautiful thing when you can put together something that looks and feels like it could belong on the big screen, well at least a 55inch flat screen haha
Oh don't worry mate! I always use the Close Captions tab to figure out what you're saying :P the real challenge is when we meet in person :D
Haha, I'm surprised the closed captions works 😂
As normal Paul your teaching me things. Seem to learn something new every week. Have a great week ahead my Kiwi mate.
Great to hear Meredith, thank you ☺ Have an week next week too, enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
I understand ya man 😂
Haha, thanks mate. When you have a strong accent, you're always very aware of it 😂
Besitiful part of Auckland right there. Great shots 👌
Wow such great footage at the cement works, love the shot across the water 📸
Brilliant shots here Paul! What a difference the drone footage makes to the video! Love that spider web BnW at the end there!
Thanks David, appreciate it mate! Yea, I shot that one when I finished the reflections, just caught my eye with the sun glaring behind it.
Good stuff Paul. That little lake/pond is great for reflection shots, I got a few when I was there a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks Andy! Definitely one to revisit in Autumn, there was a Willow tree to my left and a couple of Poplars on the hill.
I think l will just stick to my 2 for the moment 😊
Definitely a wise choice, Meredith ☺
Lovely shots Paul
Thank you Meredith ☺ It was quite the morning - trying to stay on top of 3 different cameras is challenging, but lots of fun.
Very cool, that will be my next toy. But I have just discovered the joy of long exposure photography
Awesome Meredith ☺ are you going to post some of your LE photographs on X?
@@paulbelliphotography yep
What'up~bravo,splendid shots. peace out~ 😎
Thank you 🙏 early days in my flying videography, lots to learn ☺
WOW Paul you are a talented SOB. Absolutely love it. -TED NEMETH
Hi Ted, thanks mate I appreciate you having a wee watch. Just in my UA-cam infancy, lots of growth to come ☺
Hey I got a shoutout!! 😄
😂 I'll need to setup a superfan page for you & Andy haha
@@paulbelliphotography special BTS access 😂
Really nice shots there Paul. Pretty calm morning, wonder what it was like today !
Thanks Andy. It was wild down Red Beach, it would have been sea spray central down Taka.
And I had enough of that last week 😂
Can’t forget those bloody batteries 😂😂 Sweet vid man!
Maaaate, panic set in a little haha... Just trying to better my previous vid by 1% and keep improving ☺
Don't forget to charge the battery, Paul. 😂 As normal very informative. Forgot what Sunrise is like in NZ
😂 I know right, what a plonker. Thankfully I had packed them, phew. It was a very subdued one, that's for sure.
Bad luck with the sunrise m8, but I love the LE, especially that last image with the water dropping into the opening. Well done!
Hi Andrew, thanks mate. Yea that wee gully is where I wanted to go but all those fishos were already there. Fortunately at the end of me recording they left, so off I went to get the last 2shots ☺
I was wondering if this was lost and found footage 😂
Haha, mate... I checked the footage & was like, I need to do this again. I nearly deleted them but thought they'd be funny to leave in.
Hi Paul, Meredith from Australia, l chat to you every so often on Twitter(X). Just found your UA-cam thing it's great, maybe you can teach me a few things.
@@meredithbriggs7265 oh hi Meredith ☺ thanks for following along - as I get more to grips with videoing myself and trying to shoot quality photos at the same time, I'll definitely look to start doing some in the field & editing tutorials ☺
Love the Astro the most! Also that guy in the background seemed to be upto no good! 😂
Haha cheers David, yea shifty looking fella 😂
Another good video there Paul. Of the ocean icm shots, the third one is probably my favourite. 👍
Hey Andy, thanks mate ✌️
Cool video Paul. Loved your shots m8, but the ICM were my favourite of course. Well done.
Haha, but of course ☺ Thanks mate! Anyone in particular stood out more than the others? I'll use that one for my 'good morning' post on X.
1st, 3rd or 4th Ocean ones at the end. Maybe the 3rd.
Cheers Andrew! I'll post the 1st one, I think I posted the 3rd one already 😀
Nice vid man, just printed and hung one of my shots from that beach earlier in the year 👍
Thanks Jarred! Yea, next thing to work on is colour grading my videos haha - I changed a few settings in my camera, need to change a few things back I think.
Brilliant shots there mate! Pity about them poachers though! Good job reporting them! We can only hope MPI set up some sort of surveillance system there that can nab these thieves in the act and fine them a great deal.
Cheers bro! Yea, that eco system will not last if it's hit this hard all the time.
Cool video Paul. Pity about the photo intruders, but you did ok regardless.
Thanks mate ☺ Yea, it is what it is. Hopefully get another chance this coming weekend before the end of Milky Way Core season for us down under.
Great video! Will watch the others when I get a chance 🥰 And I’ve been listening to The Band CAMINO lately…upbeat & fun 💜
Hi Nichole, thank you for subbing and watching along this wee UA-cam journey ☺ new video out later today as well.
Damn all those lenses for a simple accident! I think I may need to have one too 😅
Bro, I think your setup is pretty sweet as it is + that was painful losing that camera & lens 😢
I can't believe you did a what's in my bag, but more importantly, I can't believe I watched it! Good job mate, short n sweet. Looking forward to the other videos.
Haha 😂 thanks Andrew, I knew you couldn't resist. Yea, didn't think this was a drag it out kinda vid - here's the gear, have a good one ☺
Great video m8. Love the B&W shot.
Thank you Andrew, and thanks watching ☺
Oh nice! Didn’t realise you had a channel! Subbed! 👍👍
Hi Jarred, cheers! Yea, use to just be all powerlifting stuff, thought it was about time I started vlogging. Been thinking about it for years, now is as good a time as any to start ☺
@@paulbelliphotography Awesome! Yeah I gave it a half assed go a few years back. Looking to take another swing at it I think :)
@@JarredSpec Why not! We're out and about enough, might as well document eh ☺ Funny thing is, I'm running about all the place settings the vlogging camera up 😂 definitely need better flow with that.
Great video Paul, almost felt as though I was there 😀Fair play getting some awesome shots & vlogging at the same time 👍
Thanks mate! You know, I think you might have been haha
Those shots are amazing Paul! The one with Astro Bokeh was "stellar"!
Hi David, thanks mate, appreciate it bro! Definitely be doing more of the Astro Bokeh in the future.
I think my favourite shot in this video is the Caves n Waves. That Muriwai spot is so beautiful! Great work Paul!
Hi, thank you ☺ Muriwai is a special place. I've got quite a few special shots from this place, more to come in the future too.
