- Join me on a captivating landscape photography journey through the Flinders Ranges as I explore the stunning aftermath of a 36-hour downpour. The rain has just subsided, leaving behind a desolate yet mesmerising landscape. In this video, I capture the raw beauty of the outback, focusing on the serene transformation that occurs when sunlight breaks through a distant gap in the clouds. The scene is bathed in soft red light, highlighting the red earth, the rugged ranges, and an old windmill, creating a moment of pure photographic magic.
Anticipating a dramatic black-and-white edit, I showcase how the interplay of light and shadow breathes new life into the landscape. Watch as the once dreary scene is transformed into a breathtaking display of nature's resilience and beauty. This video is a testament to the unpredictable charm of the outback, offering viewers a unique glimpse into the serene aftermath of the storm. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or simply a lover of nature, this episode is sure to inspire and captivate.
I specialise in large format print focusing on creating fine art images best viewed on a wall.

I love that your videos get straight to the subject. No making breakfast in your van, no long, time wasting walks just straight into the photography. Another great video
Keep them coming.
Cheers Gordon, I never plan my shoots (well I plan the location) but never the content or what I am going to say, that's why it's straight into the photography. That's the important bit after all 😂. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
A fantastic morning to be out! I love your "labor of love" (you can't call this "work").
Thank you so much Charlie, really appreciated. The joys of photography go far beyond making an image. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
WOW! Epic is an understatement for this series! I think it would have been beautiful even without the windmill, but that just made it even more so. Love the combo of the windmill and tree. Very creative!
Thank you Juanita, your support is so very much appreciated. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tree and windmill combo, I didn't know if it would work when I was out there. Have a lovely week 🙏🙏🙏
How wonderful that the weather gods rewarded your persistence, Izzy. The "turn around and check behind you" is one guideline I always try to observe. The colours when you turned around for the second time were breathtaking - even I would have run to collect them with my camera. and as always, talking-through the compositions. It's also rather decadent to have an impromptu porter as well!
Cheers M, sometimes we are glued to the scene in front of use, under the impression that the entire world is focussed into the confines of our viewfinders. I also couldn't believe the transformation of the tree it looked so very different from that side. As for the porter I was very lucky that day as I mostly travel solo, and it was lovely to have company. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Sumptuous colours! What a place. so pleased that you got the light at the end. Fabulous Izzy, just fab. Thanks and take care.
Cheers Jill, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this little trip out. I'm not afraid to say that the greatest tool a photographer has is luck, we just need to be out there to make it 🙏. Look after yourself and have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing - looks like you have had a trip to Mars - absolutely wonderful images
Cheers Mark, yeah it does come across like that doesn't it. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Lucky ducks visiting the Flinders!...on my bucket list for "one day". Cloudy days can yield some wonderful moody images. The windmill with the backdrop of the mountain range is so beautiful. The curvature of the clouds in image at 8:35 seems to frame the windmill and mirror the mountain range in the background. A perfect example of Alister Benn's "Geometry' in composition. I learned a long time ago when shooting to ALWAYS turn around - you will get rewarded - and just think...most don't do it! One of the best tools in composition are your 2 feet!!! You saved the best till last. Have a great week.
We are certainly blessed Helen, not only to have sensational places like this in Australia but also to be healthy enough to visit and enjoy them. Turning around has paid off so many times, it helps that I talk to the camera as I can also see what the sky is doing in different directions, without that I think I too would forget on occasion 😂. I hope you have a great week too 🙏🙏🙏
Another outstanding video and instruction. The images are glorious, and your thinking and explanations are thoughtful and inspiring - I can't believe tens of thousands of other people have not discovered your channel. Thanks for sharing your work and the astonishing Australian outback.
Thank you for watching and your wonderfully kind words Phillip. Building a channel is a very slow business in my case... but that means I can appreciate each and every subscriber. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Epic images of the Flinders Ranges Izzy.......WOW! When I lived in Adelaide, my parents had no inclination to visit the Ranges........mum said it was too hot and dry. Boy, did they both miss the beauty.......Leonie and I have been twice from NSW and can't wait to go back again. You have captured the beauty magnificently.
Thank you David, and here was I was feeling quite ashamed that it took me 3 years to visit. It is a spot that should be on everyones bucket list, the video and images can't convey the enormous majesty and unique other-worldly feeling of connection to the land when you stand amidst the ranges. Especially at sunrise or sunset. A place that I will definitely have to return to, and soon. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Wow! You were fortunate with some fabulous light. Just amazing. Beautiful images as always.
Cheers Keith, and you are right, I got so lucky, you couldn't have predicted the colour from the dull grey start. Glad you enjoyed this little adventure. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Wow wow and some more wow !! That sky 🥰🥰🥰 well done Izzy, wonder adventure
Cheers buddy, when the God's bestow their gifts we would be foolish not to be there. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Your excitement when the light kicked off was well justified, Some beautiful images and the play of light on the background was great. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Ralph, as you know when you get lucky with the light the adrenaline kicks in, glad you enjoyed the adventure. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
I remember having a situation where I had to run back to a spot that I had shot a tree!!! Everyone was saying there would be no sunset! 20 min. later the sky and the tree just exploded with color!!!! I ran all the way back to that tree and got the photo!!! It only lasted for 5 minutes, then it was gone!!! I learned to never give up on rainy days!!!! It's not over until it's over!!!! Great video!!!
No truer works spoken Marvin, rainly days can often give you nothing but on the odd occasion they create something sublime and you just need to stay the course. Thanks for joining me on this little trip. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
@@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography you're very welcome I love your channel! Can't wait for your next video!!!👍👍👍
Beautiful pictures Izzy,magnificent light
Wasn't it just... sometimes we just get lucky. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
You just have to love the Australian outback, again the Flinders Range didn't disappoint. Nice to see the difference between the Horizontal and Vertical Pano's Izzy, the sky in the 7 image pano really looked amazing. I did like the way you framed the Windmill in the arch of the old tree. Your image at 19:55 showed beautiful light on those distant hills Thanks again Izzy for the very entertaining video filled with magical images. Have a great week
Thank you as always Ross, so very much appreciated. You are spot on, the vertical panos allow you to capture so much more of the scene, although you have top be more careful taking then as they are harder to stitch if you go wrong (not keeping the shots level I mean). Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
I don’t think I’ll bother to watch the first 10 minutes of your future vlogs, since you always save the most sumptuous and gorgeous for the last 10 mins. When you were prattling on about Water bores I wasn’t too hopeful, but oh ye of little faith etc. You must have been pleased with that little gem, well done Iz
Ha Ha so true buddy, a dull appetiser and then a tasty main 😂. That light was intense when it happened and made the landscape a Martian playground. Hope you are all hale and hearty, have a lovely week ahead 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic images Izzy, thanks for getting out and showing us.
Cheers Mikie, much appreciated buddy. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Lovely work Izzy. Just returned from two weeks in the Flinders Ranges yesterday. I have been there 7 or 8 times and it never disappoints - as you say desolate but raw beauty everywhere. Reckon I was there the day you got this magic light. My wife and I were travelling up from Mount Little Station on the Western side of the Elders Range to Moolooloo Station further north. As I often do, I spent a lot of time photographing trees particularly the majestic river gums in the dry creek beds. But the bigger landscape commands your attention when the light goes off like this.
Thank you very much Dane, it is an extremely emotive landscape. Beautiful, enigmatic and stern all at the same time. I tried photographing some of the dry river gums, but I'm not too sure if they turned out too well. Takes a certain skill to capture the beauty they hold, a skill that I am still working on. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Great video and top draw photos can't wait for the next adventure tmx for sharing
Thank you Bryan, so very much appreciated buddy. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful images Izzy, lucky you looked back great light. ❤😊
Cheers, sometimes we get fixated in looking through the viewfinder... there's a lesson to be learned there. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
wow the light really turned it on. I have been really enjoying your vids, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Tony, great to have you along on my little adventures. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
As usual Izzy spectacular. How good are the colours of outback Australia. Those cloud formations just set those shots off.
Thank you Barry, when you get soft light in the outback you are always onto a winner. The world is a truely beautiful place. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Great stuff Izzy, it’s that very last image for me!
Cheers Tim, very much appreciated. I don't think you can beat the Flinders... such majesty and mystery. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
love the image at 14:30 - great to see you branching out… I'll leave
post storm light was always my favourite. just as well as we get loads of it here!! that warm light at 20:20 - just sublime, and then the sky lit up too 🙂
Cheers buddy, yeah we had a little trip to the outback and I can tell you I'm ready to get back as soon as I can... just stunning. Hope you are travelling well, have the best week 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic video and excellent images 👍🏻

Thank you very much. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Just found your channel. And will be subscribing. What camera and lens are you using?
Thank you very much Ronald. I use the original GFX100 and in this episode I was relying on the GF 20-35mm lens. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Did you use any filters, to enhance the colours ?
Cheers William, no, infact I needed to reduce the reds on some of the later shots as they just didn't look real. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
I've seen worse light. Cracking images mate.
Cheers Tony and haven't we all 😂. Glad you enjoyed it matey, have the best week 🙏🙏🙏
