Many people hike in to see Ammonite Falls from it's east side, coming from the Jameson Rd. entrance where you can park at the road's end and hoof it along the foot trails. Another way in begins off Weigles road, through a yellow gate very close to the Wastelands MX track. This entrance will take you to what most consider to be the back of the falls on the west side. You arrive at the top of the falls, rather than the bottom, where the Jameson Rd. trails take you. After a short ride from the Weigles yellow gate, you need to park and hike the last few hundred yards to the falls. If it's wet, be warned, the top of the falls are very slippery and there's nothing but nasty pointed rocks to catch you at the bottom!
Here's the GPS track and a quick overview "flyover" movie of the route:
Now, for the time lapse video using the app "Timelapse Camera HD"
I'm not sure I'm going to find the speed and clarity I'm after at this rate. I'm waiting for Apple to update the iOS for my iPod, (ver 7.0), in the hope that I can go back to using my original app, although it was no real winner to begin with. Just want to get the speed down.
[Edit, Aug 20th] I managed to get an older version of Time Lapse running on my iPod. (That's the original app I was using that I had more success with). This is the only one of these apps that doesn't mind running close to real-time speeds. It will allow you to choose the playback speed as low as 1x (normal playback), 2x, 3x etc, up to the usual supersonic, flower blooming speeds that the rest of them do so well. The results are far better when played back at 4x or 5x because you can actually follow along and see where you're going! My "auto white balance" was playing games with me on this next video.... Some dark patches.
So, here's the vid: Almost the same footage as before, just a bit more footage at the end.
Still a bit clunky, but not bad for an app running on iPod.
