I crawl out of bed (a man without a plan) and venture out on a cold frosty morning to photograph whatever appears before my lens. I head down the road on the edge of the Rothschild estate (ancient hamlet of Eythrope) to capture the autumn colours and babble to camera in the process. After 30 years as a wedding/portrait pro, it’s time to get back to my roots.
Normally for a ‘serious’ landscape shoot, I would bring a tripod and more gear. However, this time, I travelled light, to be more flexible within the couple of hours available to me. Next time however, with camera gear in a backpack and tripod attached, i’lI be ready for anything . . . I hope!

nice!
Really nice photographs and good, entertaining narration (and subtitles). Might I suggest, in future, mixing the music at a lower level? With headphones, when I had the volume at a good level to follow your commentary, the music damn near deafened me when it came in. Other than that, great video!
Great vid and location, Manfrotto make some nice models lol..
Enjoyed the video and the images you captured. I also enjoyed your sense of humour. There was a time that I didn't think I would need my tripod, so I did not take it and regretted that decision the whole time I was out, so I can understand your frustration.
Wow, amazing! What does your lightroom processing involve??… awesome vid!!
You know nothing Jon Snow.— Love it.
A really pleasant video from a man who knows his craft, but did you think of taking a tripod? Subscribed.
Excellent video!
