That has got to be the classiest drone production I have seen! Graceful, captivating, beautiful park, slow dissolve transitions, perfect music. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Michael - it's OK, but I think there's better, but I do appreciate your kind words.

Thank you James, I agree - a lovely corner of the park.

There are wrens, robins, and even a thrush was close by. All wonderful to see going about their business.

That was just lovely! A thoroughly enjoyable few moments. The music selection was perfect. Your slow, easy flying, and multiple views perfect. well done.

Thank you Dale, much appreciated. I do like the cinematic slow pace - probably because if I went into sports mode I would lose confidence in my control of the M3P - slow flying is much less fraught with danger!

As usual, Paul, this is just superb. Smooth, slow, perfect music. What amazed me was that there were few people using the park in perfect weather.

Perhaps it was just the time of day? Maybe Prestonians don't like the sun so much, lol...

I gave my business card (I'm not a business of course, it's just a card showing my YT channel) to the photographer doing the model shoot (the young girl spun the white brolly bang on que) and he did comment on the YT feed (very good of him to look).

As for superb, it'll do, heheh...

I like it from beginning to end! Smooth flight, great views, wonderful music. Made for a very relaxing video. I really like how you ghosted the piano playing at the beginning. Great touch.

Thank you sir.

The piano trick I first used in the Earnsdale Reservoir flight awhile back (at around 20 seconds in). Obviously, I had to be sure each piano player was playing the actual keyboard at close to the right timing as I could manage!
