Here’s my next video, which features our week away at Easter in the Lake District.  We stayed in Staveley, near Windermere, which gave us a great starting point for exploring the area.

The video features Lake Grasmere, including some friendly paddle-boarders, and also a really nice spot we found for a picnic just outside of Staveley itself.

We were spoilt with the weather, as you can see.

My new zoom came in very useful for the opening shot of the video!

Enjoy!

Here’s a video put together from footage taken at my aunty Dorothy’s 100th Birthday celebrations!

It was a brilliant day, and was great to capture a bit of footage as a memory of it.

Enjoy!

Here’s a short video of Beverley Black Mill in the snow.

This was the second video shot with my new DJI Mavic 2 Zoom. I’m looking forward to being creative with the zoom and this new drone in general.

Enjoy!

Here’s a video put together from our stay in a lovely cottage in rural Peak District.

If you’re interested in staying here, it’s called Ewe Lodge, and is near Ashbourne, Derbyshire.  We’d highly recommend it!

This was my first video made using my new DJI Mavic 2 Zoom drone.

Enjoy!

Here’s my latest video from September 2018 when the water levels in the reservoirs across the country were very low.  This gave us a rare chance to see the usually hidden Derwent village ruins, which are found in the Ladybower Reservoir.

I took the chance on a quiet evening to capture this footage, and was pleased with the resulting video.

Enjoy!

Here’s a video showing how low Ladybower Reservoir got last summer (It’s still not fully recovered now even though we’re into 2019).

It was a bit of a murky day, but I still got some good footage.

Enjoy!

Episode 1 – Lac Chambon and Murol Castle

Here is the first of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This first episode features Lac Chambon and Murol Castle.

The lake was stunning at dusk!

Garna Vutka – Romantic Wedding Piano
Nico Maximilian – Don’t Leave Our Earth Alone

Episode 2 – Chapelle Sainte Madeleine de Chalet

Here is the second of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features a stunning Chapel called Chapelle Saint Madeleine de Chalet.

We were driving along the motorway and noticed it perched on the side of the mountain, so had to go and find it!

Music:
Matti Paalanen – Genesis

Episode 3 – Three Viaducts

Here is the third of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features three viaducts, including Viaduc de Garabit (same designer as the Eiffel tower!), the Millau Viaduct (the worlds tallest bridge!), and finally Pont St-Nicolas de Campagnac.

We drove under, and then over the Millau Viaduct, which was an amazing experience!

Sweet Play – Flight

Episode 4 – Pont du Gard

Here is the fourth of seven episodes of my big drone video from our summer holiday. This episode features Pont du Gard, which is a 2000 year old Roman Aqueduct, and is a marvel of engineering and beauty.

To capture this video, I woke up at 5:30am, drove for around 35 minutes and then hiked for a further 25-30 minutes to reach the aqueduct just in time for the sunrise. It was well worth it!

Episode 5 – Sunflowers, Horses and Vines

Here’s episode five!  It features a stunning field of sunflowers that we came across, the special turret that we stayed in for one night, and also some sunrise shots around Eguisheim.

Music:
DJ Nen – Red Summer

Episode 6 – Les Trois Chateaux

Here’s episode six, which features the Trois Chateaux. These impressive ruins sit above the beautiful town of Eguisheim in the Alsace region of France. I got there nice and early to get the sunrise.

There is also some footage of the near endless fields of vines that cover the Alsace region.

Music:
Antarctic Breeze – I Will Remember

Episode 7 – The Final Few Days

Here’s the final episode, which features Col de la Schlucht (a summer luge; great fun!), the Marin Le Meslee Monument, which is a monument to a WW2 French fighter pilot, and our final nights accommodation on Lac D’Ailette.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these seven episodes of our fantastic holiday around France! 🙂

My latest video has been put together using clips from a business trip I had up to the Lakes. I met up with a friend who took me up onto Queen Adelaide’s Hill, which gave fantastic views.

The other two remaining spots where on my way back down to Sheffield, which were the Sir John Barrow Monument and a random stop off outside the village of Austwick.

It was nice to show my camera drone some love after focussing on racing drones recently.

Enjoy!

This video was put together from footage taken whilst having a lovely walk on one of the first nice days of the year around Damflask Reservoir just outside of Sheffield.

Whilst going around, I also noticed a sailing club and will hopefully be making a video of their members sailing later in the year.

Enjoy!
