Cheers , Dom. I thought it would show the Flickr image in a wider context, and show the overall weather conditions we experienced that day. I've got hours of other video stuff to edit still from our previous visit earlier this year, however, other stuff keeps taking up my time.. like work, for example 😁

Cheers John.. I caught 'Plates' cat napping and so he was surprised to find a camera poked into his face on opening his eyes! 😁

I didn't go down the ravine like Pete did, but I was close enough to the edge of the drop to make me think twice about moving my feet 🥴

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 I was watching from afar. Looked a bit sketchy traversing down.

Hi Brian, and thanks for the comment. WouId I buy another pair? I would, yes. They have proved to be very robust and hard-wearing, and even now still look great when cleaned and re-waxed. I use them with a pair of "aftermarket" insoles I took from my Scarpa 4 Season boots, and they are very comfortable indeed. I'm off to the Isle of Skye in the next few days for a week of landscape photography, and space is limited on what I can take - these are boots will be the only item of footwear I'm taking - I don't need anything else. I will be wearing them for over 16 hours a day, and on the mountains, on the beaches and for general knocking about. They are like an old friend!! 😁

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Many thanks for your detailed reply .. about your 'old friends' I only recently learnt about Grisport and was surprisd to learn their HQ is at Cramlington, only about 10 miles from where I live. Luckily my wife goes to Cramlington every so often for her eye check and we are going today. I'll pop into the Grisport shop and take a look and try a few pairs on. Sadly though, I might buy them later online, as for some strangre reason, they are cheaper from 3rd party stores than from the shop and website of Grisport. Sometimes there are free socks, so will see what's best; just have to try them on for size first. Regards from Whitley Bay

@@brianmorrison9168 Good luck Brian! I always find it difficult to make a choice with boots, so I hope you find something suitable. A nice part of the world you live in too! So many photographic opportunities up there. 👍

Cheers Ash.. very good of you 👍🏻👍🏻

A remake?? Hmmm.. I may do. Great boots too.. I still have them, and tend to wear them all the time when out doing landscape photography. As I noted to Clive earlier, I don't tend to post much stuff on KZbin... whilst I enjoy video editing, my current view is that it's just too time consuming with too little reward - and work just gets in the way. Thanks for taking the time out to comment, very much appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻

That's a great vid of yours Geoff, and thanks for letting me use your clips when I CBA doing any filming due to driving everywhere and herding other 'togs 😆

Cheers Ade! They were dramatic, and for me, a nice change too as the previous two times I'd been there I had nothing but cloud and heavy rain.

CliveI How the bloody hell are you? I did mean to come back and do a sequel to this, but never got around to it, as you can never properly judge a pair of boots until you've been out in them a few times and worn them in a bit. I still have them, and wear them regularly so must be reasonable. I did start out doing walking stuff on here as I'd been a keen hillwalker since the early 90's, but the photography got in the way of the walking stuff. Now, I just don't tend to bother posting on KZbin - too much effort filming and editing for very little reward. I have a lot of half edited videos of photography trips that I'll probably never get around to posting up. Hope the birthday went well the other week. 👍🏻

Cheers! Very kind of you 👍

Hi Dan, That's bad news. I was contacted out of the blue via Twitter and offered a pair of boots to review back in 2015. I'm not affiliated in any way to Grisport. I do still wear the boots they sent to me and must have done over 600 miles in them, and apart from the Scarpa Manta's I bought back in '92 and still wear, they are the best boots I have ever used (and I've had some boots!). I was contacted initially by their PR/Ad company in the UK via Twitter, so Grisport, the actual Italian Company is not doing the Twitter feed. I have had no contact with them now for four years. If I were in your situation I would write an actual letter, on paper, and send it to their UK office, or the importer via recorded post. I find that as most communication is done electronically today, to actually receive a letter of complaint stands out among the thousands of emails received, and in my experience does elicit a response from companies - it also provides a good audit trail should you have to take legal action. It has worked for me several times when dealing with the shocking "Customer Service" provided by telephone and broadband companies. I wish you every success in resolving this matter.

I suspect that was me! doing a 'George Michael' :)

@@GeoffMoorePhotography Haha - just glad you didn't end up in the river!!

Cheers Ben! Very kind of you to stop by and comment. I'm not publishing regular enough on YT to build up a consistent following, so it is what it is really

P.S what about those sunrise shots??

The sweeping shots are pretty simple really. I use a handheld gimbal and a GoPro 4 for the face to camera stuff, but I also have a GoPro 7 for other uses. I slip the GoPro 7 into the gimbal and fix the gimbal onto the mount on a Manfrotto walking pole. The walking pole is a bit like a monopod really (www.manfrotto.com/uk-en/off-road-walking-sticks-red-mmoffroadr/). I then put the GP7 into 120fps and use the walking pole like a jib; it is quite effective really. I warp stabilise the shot in Prem Pro and then use it in the clip. Needs a couple of takes to get it right, but it works a treat!

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 ohh brill, will have a look at that. Might have to wait for Santa clause to get the gimbal :) unless my 10 month old decides she wants to start paying rent. Thats really useful, thank you.

Cheers Pete. I do enjoy putting them together, even though it takes me an age

Cheers Pete. I'm a slo mo convert!

Thanks Mark, very kind of you to say so and to take the time to comment. The 'draft' from the waterfall moving all the air was quite a surprise, as was the volume of spray given off too!

A pleasure. It looked an awesome place especially in spate as you rightly said. It sounded like a full on sensory experience.

I went for quite a de-saturated look to the slo-mo stuff, and with a high contrast too

Cheers Karl, it was the lack of the early start that stopped us doing this. The Clough Head did look steep - I'd be blowing like a set of bellows!

Cheers Pete. The 120fps on the Nikon is great...

Cheers Pete... At 8:37 I thought you were rinsing grit off your tripod!

...well, they do have some glorious countryside (but I'll not tell 'em that)

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Ha ha, so do the Lancastrians.

@@alchemy3264 We do, we do.. but we are more reserved in our appreciation of it.

@@michaeldutsonlandscapephot2184 Ha ha, when I lived in Yorkshire and met Lancashire people who lived there, they did not seem so reserved then. I joke. It must be annoying since the change in the boundaries as you lost part of the Lakes and Yorkshire lost Dentdale, to the Cumbrians!

@@alchemy3264 The change in the boundaries was only for administrative areas. The true County boundaries still exist and are recognised by the Post Office. There is an organisation called Friends of Real Lancashire and they go into a detailed explanation of how The Local Government Act of 1974 didn't change the long standing, historic borders. Try and find "Greater Manchester" boundary signs on a road, or even the boundary on an OS map - it's not there. In essence it hasn't existed since the abolition of the GM Council back in 1986. It has been out of existence longer than it was in existence and people still assume it to be a "County". It's a bizarre situation.

Thanks Geoff.. It takes a bit of time this vlogging malarkey..

Part two, or day two is currently work in progress. Need to edit the photos too, so I can put them in the film.

Cheers, Pete! They are going up on the Northern Soul website first, and then shortly after that I'll be uploading them here.

Thanks Pete - it was a belting 24 hours

Thank you, you are way too kind! It's those early mornings & late nights that do it.

It's a bank holiday weekend - it will be mobbed!

Cheers Geoff, you really are too kind. Oh, Boy! What an appearance it is that you make too! I've been checking the footage... you'll need an agent after it gets uploaded!

Well anything to help my profile :) lol my recent vlogg has bombed! even by my standards lol

He did say something about not being able to get any words in at all...

You just need to ply him with Marmite :)

Now there's a reaction that can go either way

Yes, I know. Thought I would leave it in to see if anybody was paying attention!

Cheers Brad - watch for the others coming up soon.
