Video
Not just video clips but also aerial film sequences and blog posts.
Video has become more and more interesting to me over the last twenty years, be it time-lapse sequences made up of still images, posed stationary sequences, or aerial footage captured with a drone.
I first tried filming little videos using a cheap VHS camera when I was in my twenties, but it was only with the advent of digital SLRs—and in more recent years, a drone—that my interest in making short film sequences really took off. Pun intended.
My main cameras for the videos here are my iPhone, a Fujifilm XT-3, and a DJI Mavic Air 2.

Lots of work stopped me from going out so much, but we did get in a great trip to canton Wallis.
Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.
With a name like “Ice Path”, you know before you arrive that a hiking route is going to be a pretty spectacular one.
