WEST PARK

rock dove

A walk around the park to test out an ActionCam I found while tidying up. The idea was to get lots of footage with it attached to the camera and then show the images taken with each shot. What happened was I, predictably, discovered that velcro isn't the best thing to use for this but it was promising enough that I ordered a cheap cold shoe mount to take this sort of video. I uploaded this video to Youtube more so I can check how my film making improves over time than for other people to see. The video will also end up on PeerTube (when I can remember where I registered).

More on video making and related stuff in another post shortly. I'm just trying to catch up with field notes right now because I've been busy (more on that in another post too.)
