Famoust Rundale Palace and its magnificent garden!

[Proffy]

Palace - The representation rooms in the eastern wing of the palace – the Gilt Hall, the White Hall, and the Great Gallery – are open to the public. The central block accommodates the Duke's suite with reception parlours and private rooms, and the eastern block – a fully restored suite of Duchess's rooms.

Park - The regular French style park with its rose garden, the Green Theatre, ornamental parterres and the fountain, are open for the public. In summers, the park becomes the venue for the Garden Festival. A Baroque palace cannot be imagined without the French garden, an elaborate architectural framework devised of green plantings that should manifest the triumph of art over nature. The park spreads out to the south of the palace, and Bartolomeo Rastrelli designed it together with the palace building. An artificial canal runs around the park, encircling also the palace and the stables. Although Rundāle's formal garden is but 10 ha large, Rastrelli has managed to fill it with an intricate maze of allées, cross paths, pergolas and bosquets.

Nice! you had a good discription but me being a dummy I had to go to Google to find out where.
Thanks for posting.

Overall nice flying. Allow me to make some suggestions for the future. Whenever you make a move with the camera, on the ground or in the air, slow it down. A slow, shorter shot is always better than a fast pan showing a lot of stuff. Never underestimate the power of a shot with the drone looking straight down. You could have done than on a certain part of the garden and it would have looked like a tapestry until you tilted up (slowly) to reveal the castle. Also, a straight down shot of that maze with a very slow circling (not around it, just spinning inplace) would have been dramatic. I assume they let you fly, so if you get an opportunity like that again, there or somewhere else, do some slow, low shots moving forward too. Use the tripod mode and it could look like a dolly or jib shot. This place would also be great for a photo with a tilt/shift effect on it. Just some thoughts.

Yeah it looks like a gardeners a billionaires there! They can work 24/7 during a summer time ? ? ? Its clearly can be sawn on those ball trimmed trees, on the main valley they smooth and in other places needs trimming

I totally agree! A slower rotation on most of these shots would have been so appealing as it slowly revealed the gardens and castle

Great advice! Agreed, will take it into consideration for the next flights! [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

Yeah, also my mistake was to switch on 4K with 30 frames. It looks extremely bad on turns. Especially on the quick turns
