2 Pro Cherwell Valley Viaducts - Late Autumn (4K)

[scdronemedia]

A beautiful frosty still morning after the rains. Still lots of autumn colours left in the trees. With the two railway lines, a canal and a winding river, the Cherwell Valley has a lot to offer at all times of the year. The river had burst it’s banks flooding much of the floor of the valley. I had a very relaxing morning getting this footage and I hope you feel relaxed watching it.

I would also value your thoughts on the new opening I created.

Hi Steve,
wow that was really a long range flight! You won´t believe it, but I watched it non-stop ? Ok, it´s a "little bit" too long, but I enjoyed it anyway! at 6.52 I had goosebumps, the tree was very close! ? How did you mangage to prevent to crash into trees? You didn´t see the drone during most of the flight and you flow rather at a low level!
BTW, I like the landscape and the viaducs ??
cheers Paul

Unbelievable! Almost everything in two long shots! And good ones too, although there were a few not so smooth moments. It is great. It requires time and patience from the viewer, but the feeling, the atmosphere is worth it. I need to try something in that direction.

I enjoyed the film but it was much too long. I would have concentrated more on the viaducts immediately. The opening was quite high tech-y looking, nut I would have put it at the end as an end credit. Just use the title at the beginning.

Hi Paul, thank you for your thoughts on this. I appreciate the full watch and I am pleased you enjoyed it. I must admit that when I put the footage on the laptop to edit, I was a little surprised at how close the trees looked, but I think (hope?) it was an illusion due to using the HQ setting on the sensor, rather than the wider angle. You are probably correct that it was too long, but I wanted to use the footage without speeding it all up so that it didn't look like a 'Benny Hill' sketch.
Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you have a good holiday. Take care. Steve

Hi Steve,
you´r welcome ? Thank you for the interesting additional infos about the shot! I think that it is ok to not speed up the video because it looks starnge when a sheep runs at 60miles p hour and a train at 500miles ? Anyway, you where very curageous to fly so close to the greenery!
the best wishes for the year 2021 and merry christmas, stay safe and sound!??
cheers Paul

Hi 'Z', thank you for your comments. You are right, it is quite long but as I stated before, I did not want to speed it up too much. Take care and have a great holiday. Steve

Hi Dale, thank you for your comments. I'm pleased you enjoyed and I suppose that people can always skip through it if they feel that way. I tend to find that even if you make it 4-5 minutes, people tend to skip through.
Take care and have a great holiday period. Steve

Nice video. Next time, go ahead, fly through an arch. The sheep won't mind!

Wow! I am really impressed with your ability to fly the aircraft. Loved the shots and the movements. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Dave. Next time (probably in the spring now) I intend to catch a goods train trundling across the viaduct, fly under the arches and then fly the length of the viaduct through the holes in the struts.
