Melba Gully bushwalk 16/5/2024

The beautiful Melba Gully is in the Otway Ranges about 3km South West of Lavers Hill.
Map: www.google.com...
For those of a technical interest I was using special settings for my GoPro Hero 11 for low light and using a gimbal.
ISO: max 3200 ( more digital noise, but allows exposure range for shutter speed to work)
Shutter speed 1/125 second (controls camera shake)
24 FPS (more time for camera to process images)
Gimbal controlling horizontal plane side to side (negates need for horizon lock on camera)
Colour flat and sharpness low for less image processing necessary in camera ( processed in my video editor)
Hypersmooth: auto
Any extra ideas? Suggestions welcome.

I love walking in this kind of environment.You did fine with the low light. The greens are more vibrant in the low light.

Thanks. The light really dims in those fern treed gullies.
With a GoPro it is a matter of allowing high ISO (more digital noise), and locking shutter speed to 1/125 second to control camera induced juddering images from the electronic image stabilisation. Phew, that was easy. Not. 🤔

@@joeswanderings There is always something new to learn when filming! It's easier than it looks for sure! 😅

Thank you. It is green, very cold and high humidity. Good for a temperate rainforest.

Scenic landscape 🎉❤

Thanks. Very different to your tropical home. Low light made for difficult shooting.

Wonderful walk in a beautiful forest. Amazing scenery. Love your Go Pro. Awesome catch.

The GoPro gimbal really handles the low light issues well. Without it the footage would have been all shaky.

I have more like this video planned. 🌴 OK, so it's a palm tree. Looks close enough to a fern to me.

I love these temperate closed rainforests. Lots of ferns and tree ferns in a cool and humid environment. We have lots of them in our state. (Victoria, Australia).
