@@MartinFransson Thanks Martin, I have been travelling a bit the last month and it has given me a renewed appreciation for how lucky we are 🙌

@@paulharrison8579 Haha, thanks Paul... That's the way we roll 😂

@@denisesavage2382 Thanks so much for lasting the journey Denise. I'm definitely more motivated to keep creating when I know people are enjoying the content

@@GrowPhotography I'm definitely enjoying what you create and share. Be encouraged.

@@martincampbell2073 Thanks so much for the kind words Martin. Western Australia has much to offer the astrophotopher and I will certainly continue to explore as much as budget and time constraints allow.

@@MartinFransson Thanks Martin, I hoped it would be helpful to see how the images is brought together. And yes, we are a little spoilt for dark skies although we covered a 4000km loop on this trip to abbess them 🤣

I reckon it took me about a month Matej 😂, catching covid straight after I got home didn't help 🤦

@@GrowPhotography oh man, what a timing. Hope its more mild and nothing serious.

@@massimobollini4622 Thanks Massimo, more adventures coming for sure 🙌

@@youwillfindgHey geolio, thanks for watching 🙏. I'm currently in East Java for 2 weeks so hopefully more content coming after I get back.

@@GrowPhotography Enjoy. Expecting Volcanos and Milky way images soon! 🌃

@@mjsweeps my pleasure, and thanks for your support 🙏

Thanks so much for watching Michael. I use a manual masking sky replacement method - I use Affinity Photo for editing, not Adobe

Cheers Greg. Thankyou. 👍

Thanks so much Jeroen, we had a blast creating this - going to be hard to top.

And yes, definitely exhausting - caught covid for the first time as soon as I got home 😂

@@GrowPhotography oh no! That sounds aweful :-(. You being in Indonesia at the moment tells me you are recovered by now fortunately?

@@StarScaperPhoto Yeah, that was back in June. Unwell for a week but then all good. Hope the break is healing well for you.

Thanks so much Jaune - the flies were pretty crazy the whole trip.

@@nightscapejournals Thanks Paul, the last night was bittersweet. We had been looking forward to this location all trip, were extremely tired but also sad it marked the end. The weather closed in for several days after this so we wouldn't have been able to squeeze anything else in

Thanks Stephen, we covered 4000km in 8 days, at least one third of which was on gravel roads. We managed 7 consecutive nights of astro.

@@GrowPhotography no wonder you both looked so tired towards the end 😂. Have you got any plans to show a technical video about how you stitch everything together?

@@stephencarter9192 I haven't really done any post processing specific videos because most people don't use the same software as me. Although most of my stitching is done in Microsoft ICE (MSICE) which a lot of people use. I can have a think about doing post processing videos if there is a demand but there are quite a few out there on other channels already.

Thanks so much for the kind words, they are particularly meaningful as both Virat and I are in awe of your work and your generosity in terms of sharing your knowledge. It was so hard narrowing down to just 5 images for astrofest - I think the competion is wide open again this year.

@@GrowPhotography appreciate that Greg. Virat convinced me to enter this year, I was not going to bother this year as I got some confusing feedback from them after the last comp. In the end, given there is no competition next year, I thought I may as well give it a shot. Hope your Indonesia trip goes well...

@@geoffsharpe6456 Thanks Geoff, we only have the one London Bridge though unfortunately 😊. We covered 4000km in the end, with a significant percentage (third?) on gravel. The SUV handled it well but the conditions were ideal - bit more rain and it would have been a different story.

Haha. Geoff and it was a lot of driving (4000KMS) and happy with how my car tackled the roads.. my tyres didn't like the gravel and had to replace the tyres straight after the trip,.. there's still red dirt that is not going away from the car despite it being deep cleaned.. I am not that well organised and way behind my editing workflow!

@@ViratShah Thanks Virat, I'm looking forward to seeing your processed images 😎

@@GrowPhotography Have you been to Arches National Park Greg? It is a stunningly beautiful park, I think I've been to it over 4 times now. 👍👌

@@geoffsharpe6456 No I haven't Geoff - it's definitely on my bucketlist

@@Si-fp2ij Thanks so much Si, really appreciate your support and having you along for the journey 🙌

@@nightscapeimages.richardso glad you enjoyed it Richard and having the support of someone of your experience and calibre means a lot to fledgling creatives such as myself 🙏

An amazing series and the images in the video are absolutely magnificent . An absolute honor to share the journey and shooting the 7 nights of Astro Photography as some of the most epic locations in the west. Love the images from the epic sunrise and next day’s adventure as well.. I hope we get to redo a similar trip in 2025 ,,,

@@GrowPhotography Your videos are very engaging and show the true passion that you have for what you do Greg. . and that speaks volumes to people who watch.

@@geoffsharpe6456 Thanks Geoff, I was particularly happy with that image too - will be one of my entries in Astrofest 2024 this year. We were fortunate the gravel was in reasonable condition - I don't believe that is always the case and heavy rain we encountered driving back to Perth did apparently takes its toll. We probably dodged a bullet there 😊. Maybe we could reach out to an All Terrain tyre manufacturer next trip.

Many thanks for watching Jose, your support is much appreciated. In terms of editing try this video th-cam.com/video/_2Zp1CyFic4/w-d-xo.html I always recommend Richard Tatti's TH-cam channel @nightscapeimages.richard as it's a wealth of knowledge and very understandable.

And thankyou for your continued support Massimo - it keeps my motivation to keep producing these videos 🙏

@@ParagOak Thanks, that's my favourite image too 🙏

@@JauneMacReady Thanks so much Jaune, learning the basics of shooting astro is easier than it seems - you will see much of it in my videos

Many thanks for watching Paul, the heat isn't a problem at this time of the year but those 🪰 certainly were persistent. Looking forward to finishing part 5 and moving onto the next project.

@@inefekt Thanks mate, we had some great subject matter

@@nightscapeimages.richard Thanks Richard - I remember watching your Tassie trip and wondering how you managed 😂. At least we had co-drivers.

@@GrowPhotography It's never easy .. but I didn't have to cover the miles you guys did each day.

@@matej.mlakar Thanks Matej, Western Australia is certainly a big place but this was a lot even for us.

@@Si-fp2ij many thanks Simon, Walga Rock was awesome - we needed a bit more time to maximise Big Bell unfortunately but there's always next time 😂

@@GrowPhotography I’m adding all these locations to my travel list Greg! Look forward to the London bridge episode.

@@Si-fp2ij I'm heading off to Indonesia in a couple of weeks. Going to try to get that last episode out before then 🤞

@@GrowPhotography Enjoy your trip!

Thanks mate, I'm still not sure which shoes to submit to Astrofest this year but I do love the results the Nikon 35mm gives

Thanks so much for the feedback and glad you have joined us for the journey 🙏

@@Yipmanhands You've only got 1 year on me 😊. I'm willing to make the effort if the rewards are there (thinking Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges) but in this case I think the trails around the base had more to offer us.

@@Roysivertsen Thanks Roy, I'm so glad people seem to like the petroglyph images. They are a favourite of mine too. Just posted them on my insta page (@gregrowney)

@@denisesavage2382 I think every should have this region on their bucketlist - it's gone back on mine 😊

@@happinessloveyoursmile Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏

@@GrowPhotography 🤗☀️

@@inefekt thanks Trev - I was definitely channelling Alyn Wallace for the petroglyph shots.

@@kainuisocean Cheers. You do need to polar align but not as accurately as deep space. I just use the compass and clinometer apps on my phone, no polar scope.

@@StarScaperPhoto Thanks Jeroen, the more tired I got the more bloopers I had to choose from 😊

@@nightscapejournals Thanks Paul, we certainly pushed pretty hard on those nights - we knew we weren't going to be back any time soon.

@@JauneMacReady thanks so much for your kind words Jaune, glad you loved it 🙏

@@massimobollini4622 Thanks Massimo, I love capturing the essence of an area as well as the process of capturing the night skies.

@@BIueWolf58 Thanks, it's an awesome location with so much potential

@@ParagOak Thanks Parag, we just ran out of time in the end as we only had the 2 nights. Will return one day but the 2000km return trip over some challenging roads is a barrier.

@@nightscapeimages.richard Thanks so much Richard. Definitely one of the rewards of vlogging is having these memories captured to look back on (also to show our families it wasn't just a relaxing holiday 🤣).

@@geoffsharpe6456 Thanks for watching Geoff (2 episodes in one day 🙌). We had to dig pretty deep at this stage as tiredness was starting to take hold (looking back at the videos it was pretty obvious - me trying to string a sentence together on the morning of day day 5 🤣). But the rewards definitely helped push thru.
