Exports from North Folk island to the USA are tariffed at 29%. Total export to USA from there is $413,000 in 2023.

Exports from Heard Island and McDonald Islands to the USA are tariffed at 10%. Figures shown that the 2022 total export to USA from there is $2.23million in machinery and electrical equipment, despite that there are no human habitation and there are no buildings.

It's just a random number generator....

Apparent anti-parasite behaviour in the #NorfolkIsland green parrot onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

Dr. Penny Olsen: "we observed the parrots applying chewed pepper tree bark and shoots to their feathers and skin. We believe this is a rare example of a #bird using plant matter to rid themselves of #parasites. But there may be more to it. These #birds do seem to be enjoying themselves"

One more photo for you. Returning to Norfolk Island this time, because that's where the thread started! The very idea that you can shoot an entire island into a single image is quite remarkable. The drone does most of the work.

Anyway, I'd better stop soaking up server space today, would like to avoid annoying the admins here!

Ultra ultra wide view of Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. Image taken from a drone just offshore, with the reef at Slaughter Bay well defined in the foreground while the rest of the island tapers away to the edges. The sun is going down to the left, a few clouds breaking up the blue sky, and the entire pacific ocean surrounding this little green lump.

What I love about drone work is getting an angle that I otherwise cannot physically reach. Sometimes that's just a meters over the edge of a cliff, or sometimes it's 50m down the hill where there's no trail.

I bought some very nice variable ND filters for my Mavic Pro 2 which let me slow down the shutter, just like you normally would when shooting a waterfall.

So I shot some waterfalls too!

I love taking the drone out over the water, where it's too dangerous to walk myself. Add a heavy ND filter to slow down the shutter speed and you get some movement into the shot as well.
Sometimes the real value of a drone is just being able to reach a nice shot that is barely out of reach. Here I'm flying just a few metres away from the cliff.
Drones are also great at revealing colour and detail that we normally cannot hope to experience from the ground.
I love a wide shot that sets the scene for a series. Drones are great for creating context for the audience.
