The Brindabellas Mountain Range is a familiar sight from the Australian capital city of Canberra—and part of the inspiration for Glen Ryan and James van der Moezel of silver dory in their latest production. Rising to the west of Canberra—the “Brindabellas” separate New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory. Through the use of infrared camera technology, Glen wanted to showcase the range’s diverse wild and plant life—in a new light. For the art documentary Brindabellas, Glen and James used a modified RED EPIC-X MYSTERIUM-X with an IR Pass OLPF to offer a unique perspective. The documentary highlights the Brindabellas Range in a five-part series—that follows the area through Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer again.
