Thank you very much, Mario! It’s a real paradise island and I’m sure you’ll love it! Have a great time there and Happy New Year 😊🎉

@@BRUNILDA_TERNOVA It’s my pleasure! And thank you for watching my first travel vlog! The first of many hopefully 😊

@@albanian0160 A good question, but a hard one to answer as I found a beauty in all of them, really. In Tirana and Pristina it was the friendliness of the locals which really pleasantly surprised me, without exception. I loved the bazaar in Skopje. But honestly, I need to spend more time in each of those places again. Where would you recommend outside of Tirana?

@danielwilson3671 Korca, shkodra, vlora are also nice cities

@@qwc440 thank you for the suggestions! I hope to visit these places in the future!

Çif shanon 😂

@@aleksplavcev8044 you’re trying to speak albanian but you can’t even say it properly 😂😂

@D.H.Alb.24 really ? Maybe its because I am not some shiptarian nationalist rubbish like you 😉

@@aleksplavcev8044 You are the one who offended, not me. So the trash here is 🫵🏼

Thank you very much! ❤

Thank you very much, Jiri! It’s an amazing resort, isn’t it!? Yes, of course: footage was made using my iPhone (11 pro max) with a gimbal for stabilisation and my GoPro hero 11 😊

​@danielwilson3671Thank you very much for your willingness to respond quickly. I wish you good luck on your travels.

It is not ❤

@@florianrazvan6583 haha sure like it is now

@@irinapolonskaya7484 So kind of you to say, Irina! ❤️

Thank you so much Stanislav! I really appreciate your kind words, which definitely inspire me to continue making more videos! Actually I’m in the process of putting together some travel vlogs, which I’ll upload soon if they turn out okay 😊 Thanks again and all the best 🍻🍻😊

🏝🌄🌈 "Keep Walking!" 😊

Thank you for your lovely comment 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤

@@nilsvestergren3329 Thank you very much! Yes, they were large areas of healthy coral, which pleased me to find; however, I did only use the best bits for the video. Around the water bungalows, the coral was in a sorrier state. But there is also a small coral restoration effort, which I saw in that area.

@@danielwilson3671 by the way, I also use gopro 11 for underwater filming. The short battery capacity annoys though. Do you have any suggestions for a better setting?

@@nilsvestergren3329 yes, the battery is a pain in the neck and I don’t have a special suggestion for getting round that I’m afraid. My way round it is just to have 2 spares for each trip. Where do you film?

@@danielwilson3671 okay, I have three, actually 😉. I go to Egypt and the red sea. It's cheaper than the Maldives 😉. Next time will be in two weeks.

@ You can’t beat the Red Sea for vibrancy of hard coral and clarity of the water! Love it there and can’t wait to go back! I hope you upload a video from your trip! 😊

Thank you, Elaine 😊

Thank you very much!❤️

@@preetiytstudio5292 Thank you very much! ❤️

@@stanislavlumbev3081 Thank you, Stanislav! I’ve just uploaded another with a few extra underwater shots. The coral isn’t comparable with Egypt or Raja Ampat, but the variety of fish species was impressive! Thank you for your lovely comment! 😊😊😊🍺🍺

@@danielwilson3671 Thank you so much!!! Just wished it was 4K 😎

😂 It should have all been 4K, but I forgot to check my phone settings. So even though the GoPro footage was, it got reduced to match the resolution of the phone videos, unfortunately … it’s a learning curve! 😊

@@danielwilson3671 Aha.. I'm familiar with the Adobe premiere pro's editing and just FYI, if you first mport a 4K video in the editing sequence and then some with a smaller resolution, the bigger one takes effect for the end result (the smaller one will get scaled up). Hope this helps in future 👍

@ ah, that’s interesting to know! I’ve just started using Final Cut Pro, but haven’t quite got the hang of it. It’s just a trial though, so I might give adobe a go, as what you’ve mentioned sounds far better. It’s a pity to lose resolution when the original footage was in 4K. Thanks a lot for your suggestion! 😊

@@irinapolonskaya7484 Thank you for your lovely words, Irina! Much appreciated!

Thank you ❤

Oh, thank you so much for your kind words, Preeti! It was such a wonderful time on the island and I wish I was still there! I hope you're well :)

@danielwilson3671 yes I'm good and what about you?

@@preetiytstudio5292 I’m well, thanks. Now back in the U.K. and planning my next trips. Wish we were coming back to the Maldives! Hope it will be soon 😊

@@snoopys6844 thank you very much 😊! I thought the house reef had potential, but due to rougher weather while I was there, the visibility wasn’t good enough to explore properly. The coral around the jetty wasn’t in great shape, so you’d have to go further to find healthier coral. The daily snorkel trips as part of the unlimited snorkelling package were excellent though. For a great house reef I would probably look at other resorts.

@@preetiytstudio5292 thank you very much ❤️

@@kaytv9004 thank you very much! I spent almost a year watching videos before my trip to Raja Ampat 😂 Now I’m watching videos of Komodo, where I’m going next year. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! And yes it’s Cove Eco Resort! Have you been there?

@@danielwilson3671 I used to work there :)

It's very easy to swim to the coral - it's right off the beach! There was a slight current around the jetty, but nothing much, so long as you stay close to shore. If you're a confident swimmer, there's nothing to worry about. A good resort!

@@danielwilson3671 Thank you for your information, very useful😀

The resort was lovely. Friendly staff; comfortable accommodation; lovely tasty! But the coral around the jetty was rather sorry-looking. Fortunately, everywhere else was stunning!

Thank you very much! :)

You’re very welcome, Svitlana! It was my pleasure to create this for you both 😊

Thank you very much! 😊

Thank you for your lovely comment!

Thank you very much! 😊

Hi Jazmin, I’m very glad to hear that you like it 😊😊

Thank you very much for your kind words! 😊 Which part of Raja Ampat did you visit? It’s a wonderful place!

Thank you very much! It’s a magical place and I’m looking forward to returning there! All the best

Thank you very much! Yes, the underwater shots in this video were all filmed around Rannalhi :) A beautiful little island!

Thank you, Irina! Piaynemo really is a magical place!

Thank you very much for your kind comment! Much appreciated - particularly from a fellow composer! I'll check out your channel later on today.

Awesome, thank you! @@danielwilson3671

Thank you! ❤

Thank you very much 😊😊😊

Thank you! The snorkelling around the island was pretty good. The visibility wasn’t the best while I was there, though, but still plenty to see. I was just ecstatic to be in Raja Ampat 😊

@@danielwilson3671 ok i see. When did you visit cove?

@@SnorkelloversI was there at the end of January this year. Fortunately there were some better days of weather and I did get to enjoy some great snorkelling around the area. Feel free to check out my Raja Ampat snorkelling video 😊 I’ll probably make a dedicated video about Cove’s snorkelling soon

Thank you very much Stanislav! 😊 I really appreciate your kind words! Raja Ampat really is a paradise above and below the water! Wish I was still there!

@@danielwilson3671 I believe you 😄 I wish I was there too, but.. I'm glad that you were there so that people like me could at least vaguely sense from this Paradise 🏝

Thank you very much ❤

Thank you very much for your kind words, Irina!

Thank you very much! 😊

Thank you very much! 😊😊 I appreciate that!

That's very kind of you to say - thank you, Anders! :)

Thank you very much much for your kind words - much appreciated! 😊😊

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Stanislav! :) It's a very good comment about the slow motion: actually, it wasn't intentional. I've just checked the setting I had it on and you're absolutely right: 30 FPS. And I see it goes all the way up to 240 FPS on my GoPro, which I didn't know about! I'll definitely play around with the FPS next time I'm filming for a video. Thanks once again and all the best :)

You are welcome 🙂 Yes, you could slow down some special moments up to 8 times, using the 240FPS, only that you'll need to use 2.7K, because 4K/240FPS is not supported. But it's worth using it for some special moments, which combined with your wonderful music would be a great match 🌟 These days I have uploaded a 1h video with only fractions of the beauty that I've seen in the Red Sea... I've used interesting techniques to emphasis some special moments. You could like some and if you need some help, just ping, please 👌 By the way, which profile/preset have you used here and have you modified any of its settings (white balance, EV,..)?

I look forward to trying out some more settings next time! 😊 I just put the GoPro on a standard setting for this and I haven’t made any special adjustments, either. I’m enjoying the learning process though and need to get some tips, for sure. I’ll check out your channel 😊

@@danielwilson3671 Just ping, should you need, Daniel 🙂 By the way, I have used the same camera as yours. Action camera... and the real magic of the colours comes with some more advanced tech + special lights as far as I've seen some videos... (and the appropriate post-processing skills, ofcourse 😁). But for my own pleasure and the specifics of the freediving - it suits me perfectly well. Same applies to you, I believe - at least for the time being 😉 Eagerly waiting for your next underwater (especially, being my favourite, but not only) footage combined with your magical music 🎹

@@stanislavlumbev3081 Hi Stanslav, thank you for your kind words! Filming beautiful underwater life in magical places, like the Red Sea, and then reliving it while editing after, is a great hobby. I agree that for the time being the action camera is good enough. However, I won't rule out something more advanced in the future ;) For now though I'll try just to get to grips with the GoPro. Your suggestion about the FPS is already very useful! I've got a couple of trips coming up, but not until the end of this end and the beginning of next. Have you got any diving trips lined up? Are you tempted to visit Raja Ampat? :)Thanks again for your kind words about my music - means a lot! Cheers! :)
