Thanks for watching Matilda, if you enjoyed this video, stay tuned to this channel I will be releasing a 30 minute Blue Mountains documentary in April. Cheers Phil
Thanks for watching Keith, if you enjoyed this you may also enjoy our 30-minute narrated documentary on the Hidden Wonders of the Blue Mountains ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vFP4CFX8SGc.html happy viewing, cheers Phil
Thanks for watching Tom, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I used to live in the Lower Blue Mountains many years ago before moving to Queensland. I always love coming back, to me it always feels like I'm coming home. Stay safe mate. Cheers Phil
Thank you so much 😀 I'm so happy you enjoyed my little 'labour of love'. Its where I grew up and always feels like home to me. Take care, and thanks for watching, cheers Phil
Thanks for watching mate, your kind feedback is much appreciated. Just stick with it, it comes with time an persistence. I've been shooting and editing videos for 8 years now and I'm still learning heaps. Stay safe buddy, cheers Phil.
Thanks - I much appreciated your getting away from Echo Point, the Skyway and so forth. The Grose Valley has much magnificent scenery that is not often the subject of You Tube videos. I'm particularly fond of the Mount Banks/Perry's Lookdown area with the spectacular cliffs to the west along the Darling Causeway and then to the northern side of the Katoomba/Blackheath ridge. Somewhere to turn your camera?
Thanks so much for watching DoubleDee. This comment couldn't have arrived at a better time. I'm days away from releasing my new documentary "Hidden Wonders of the Blue Mountains" its a 30 minute doco narrated by the very talented Steve Chambers. I've focused on the lesser seen elements of the Blue Mountains, the wonders below the grand panoramas. Keep an eye out on this channel it will be up very soon. Cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms Thanks, I'll be watching for it. When I was 5, my sisters and I had a winter with successive mumps, measles and chickenpox. To help us recover, my parents took us to Lawson for the August school holidays in the clean fresh mountain air. We kept going back, and so I learnt a lot about the Blue Mountains and the area from the Hartley Valley west to Bathurst and south to Jenolan Caves, and into the Newnes Valley. Since I retired, I've had several day trips to the Mountains and found the Pearce's Pass walks. My father's mother's family had been amongst the earliest settlers in the Rylstone area, and I'm planning a trip back there. Lots of records in the church registry I'd like to go through.
@@IntotheWildFilms Do you venture as far as Newnes Plateau? That would make an interesting video. It's a bit out of the usual areas people travel to. The roads aren't 6 lane highways, but taken gently are within the capacity of most vehicles, especially SUVs.
@@doubledee9675 Sure have and some will feature in my new documentary. If you're interested you can check out some of my previous work from out there - Lost City ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNcceomLvs0.html and Glowworm Tunnel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2oW2tm5GZog.html Cheers Phil
This was a trip down memory lane, bringing back the joy of my obsessive bushwalking phase of the late 90s / early 2000s. Loved it, thanks for posting IWF.
Thanks for watching, so happy you enjoyed it. Was my old stomping ground in the 80 s and 90s, I always enjoy getting back when I can. Stay safe, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms That's okay love The Blue Mountains is so beautiful. I've been very Blessed lived at the most beautiful places. Born at Bondi Beach grow up there. Now living at Blue Mountains. Of course i cant say where but if i give you a hint im sure you will pick it up fast... its one of the most expensive places to live in the mountains an yes im right up the mountains. An my home in the mountains is so beautiful. I've been blessed. But your pictures video you have made it look like a master piece. You have a beautiful gift. That i appreciate so much 🇦🇺 🖐 Indie. Keep up your beautiful work...
@@Natasha_835 I think I know where you are, I love it there, yes you are blessed. 30 years ago I left the lower Blue Mountains, where I went to school, and moved to Queensland. While it is lovely up here the Blue Mountains always feels like home. I'm glad you appreciate what you have in your backyard. Stay Safe, and thanks again for watching, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms i knew Phil you would get it... but Phil with the good of course the bad comes too. Life cant always be rainbows and lollipops. A week yesterday my darling Husband passed away from cancer. We didnt even no. He was full of it.. so now im grieving widow in shock how... i havent even got his Ashes yet thats how fresh this all is. Phil if you have a love one please tell that person you love then an never go to bed angry at each other. Take care Phil i have subscribed to your channel so I'll see me again. Hi im Indie 😊🌲
I'm so sorry Indie, I can't imagine what you are feeling at the moment. It is so lovely that even at this time your heart is filled with gratitude. Take care Indie, our hearts are with you.
Thanks for watching :) The footage in the video was captured between 2016 and 2019 probably over an elapsed period of about 2 weeks. Glad you enjoyed our little film. Stay safe, cheers Phil
I honestly think this is up there as one of your most impressive videos. The music the transition between shots and the effective use of the the names showcasing key parts of the blue mountains is awesome. Deserves more views!
Thank you Oliver, you are very kind mate. Glad you enjoyed the show. Interestingly I am back in the Blue Mountains now, I've just finished shooting footage for a new narrated documentary on the Blue Mountains which will be coming out later this year. Stay tuned, cheers Phil
Great job filming and capturing the exquisite beauty of the Blue Mountains. I lived there for a year in the 80s, hiking as often as I could, sometimes every day. Lived 3 minutes’ walk away from the Three Sisters’ trail head. The plan was to return to live there, but it didn’t work out that way. Thanks for posting...
Hey Rob, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. I lived in the lower mountains during the 80s and 'grew up' in the bush. Going back always feels like I'm coming home. So happy you enjoyed the show. Stay safe, cheers Phil
Thanks Andrew glad you enjoyed it. Definitely mate. I am planning to come back to shoot a film on the Blue Mountains slot canyons at some point. Illya is going to come up from Victoria to help me. Still very early days and we are not really sure when but when we are there it would be awesome to hook up. Maybe you could join us on one of the canyon filming expeditions?
Thanks for following along Berend. Yes the plan is one new video per month, a bit of a challenge with the backlog being used up during travel restrictions but still plenty more projects in the hopper. Stay tuned. Cheers Phil
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’m a Blue Mountains girl who has been overseas, unable to return for over two years. Yet for eight blissful minutes I felt like I was home-I could feel the crunch of sandstone under foot, smell the sharp tang of eucalypt, sense the tickle of an ant running across my fingers, and touch those slick algal rocks of the falls. The screeching of the black cockies made me cry. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks for watching Heidi, I'm from the Blue Mountains too but now live in Queensland. This film was my love letter to a place that always feels like home to me. I'm so happy it evoked some visceral memories for you. Stay safe and thanks again, cheers Phil
Many thanks for watching Steve, Blue Mountains was my old stomping ground, I grew up there in the 90s, this was my love letter to my old home. Stay safe buddy, cheers Phil
Thanks Robert, yes a very time consuming process capturing all those long exposure waterfall shots. You never get to see the fluid like motion of the clouds in real time which is the great thing about time lapse. So glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms Yes, you could only see something like the cloud waves dashing themselves on the cliffs with time lapse. Only tried a few time lapse myself because the Nikon D7500 camera battery goes flat within a couple of hours. Imagine you would need good weather and an additional auxiliary power supply for your camera not to mention keeping an eye on it to make sure it wasn't stolen during the time lapse. Congratulations again on your perseverance and pursuit of excellence.
The cloud time lapses were a bit easier, from memory I had them on a five second interval and a faster shutter speed due to sunlight. I'd shoot off 200 shots (8 seconds playback at 25FPS) then move the camera to the next location. So I think that works out at about 16-17 minutes for each shot. Had a few battery changes that morning.
I've often wondered when I watch your videos. How much time do you spend researching the names of all the different geographical features, animals and plants ? Seems like that would take a while before you even get to the point where you can start editing.
Nice to hear from another one of my long term loyal followers. Hope you are well. Yes there is a lot of work pulling these videos together. The footage in this video was captured over a 3 year period. The post production work is typically undertaken over a 4 to 6 week period on and off. This video I have been working on for well over a year until it 'clicked' creatively. So happy you enjoyed it. Stay safe, cheers Phil
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und für das freundliche Feedback, einer meiner Favoriten auch, so viel natürliche Schönheit. Pass auf dich auf, bleib sicher. Prost Phil
Hi Carlos, thanks for watching, dates of footage capture are included in the video description, footage captured between 2016 and 2019. This was before the 2019/20 bushfires. Cheers Phil
Wow! Such a beautiful part of the world. The narrow neck peninsula is an amazing formation. I hope you can make some video's of some of the Blue Mountains canyons, such as Claustral, Wollangambe and the Grand Canyon to name just a few.
Thanks Stephen, funny you should mention the slot canyons of the Blue Mountains. We are actually in the very early stages of planning for a future video on the slot canyons of the Blue Mountains. Not really sure when at this stage but we already have the pre-production wheels in motion. I descended Claustral many years back and have never forgotten the amazing lost world down there. Stay tuned and thanks for watching. Cheers Phil
Wow! I love all your vids but I think this is your best yet. I really appreciate the effort you put in here. Incredible shots of such a beautiful area. 11 out of 10. Keep up the fantastic work and safe travels too. 😃👍
Thanks that is very kind of you. This one was a bit of a labour of love, filmed over many years and almost another 12 months in the editing room on and off many times until it all clicked into place. I'm really happy that it is resonating with my audience. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and a like it means a lot. Stay safe, cheers Phil
@@IntotheWildFilms Jeez Phil. That sounds like s log of effort. In saying that, I think it’s really paid off because the presentation is very professional and eye catching that keeps you watching right through to the end. I really enjoy good quality drone vids. I think it teaches me something every tine giving me new ideas for my own amature channel. Keep the vids flowing 😃👍
Splendor! How long did it take to walk? I hope to ever live to see that I will be able to fly halfway across the planet and see Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Thank you for the kind feedback. There are many many walks in the Blue Mountains, some can take a matter of minutes others can take days to complete. It all depends on what you want to see. I hope that you do come and visit us some day and explore this beautiful part of Australia for yourself. Stay safe, cheers Phil
Cheers Oliver glad you enjoyed it. Details of the process are all contained in here www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/parks-reserves-and-protected-areas/park-policies/drones-in-parks
Thanks for watching Rik, glad you liked the scenery. Yeah the music I selected for this one was a little different to what I usually use. Thanks for the candid feedback :) Stay safe, cheers Phil.
Beautiful! I had only really seen pictures of the Three Sisters from the Blue Mountains. I didn't think much of it (similar to the Grampians). But you showed some much more and looks like an incredible place. Would love to go there one day. Thank you!
Great to hear from you again Jim and thanks for the feedback. If you are into spending time in nature, stunning views and breathtaking beauty you will want to visit the Blue Mountains. I grew up there spent all my weekends in the bush and there is still so much I am yet to explore. Put it on your list my friend, you wont be disappointed. Stay safe, cheers Phil
