[@davestrains]

Fabulous video Michael !! when i lived in Thornbury near Bristol in the 90s we always went to the Malvern Show,great day out...thought it would be a nice place to live also..never got to malvern cars though...looking forward to that!! all the best dave.

Glad you enjoyed it Dave. The Morgan Car factory tour was great. If you are ever down that way give it a go. Cheers Michael

Malvern looks to be a great place to visit Michael, thank you for taking us there. I found the 360 camera views to be really interesting however the video seemed to be over-exposed. Perhaps there is something in the settings that can remedy that. I cannot explain why but this video gave me a bit of inspiration to make another video, perhaps that will happen soon. Regards, David.

Thanks David. You are right about the settings. As I have said, I have a lot to learn. Looking forward to seeing your inspired video. Regards Michael

We have a friend in Malvern Link and spent a few days there earlier in the year. On one of the days, there was a "Morgan Experience" day on when we walked the dog past. Later that day, there were many different Morgans being driven around the town, so presumably the full day includes a road test too. Also of note are the water fountains on the Common and elsewhere, where you can collect Malvern spring water free of charge to drink or take home. I think you saw more than we did though as we were on foot / bus, although we did find a nice tea room on one of the rail stations - converted from "Lady someone's Private Waiting Room". The 360 degree recording looks interesting too - not seen that before.

Thanks for the comment Mike. There was lots I didn't see but I was running out of time an didn't want to miss the factory visit. The experience days are not part of the tour and are quite expensive. I didn't try one but maybe one day I shall. Cheers Michael

Nice trip Michael, interesting pictures, great landscape. Regarding these 360 degree camara, I must say, I prefer a normal camera with good quality. 😉 I hope you'll enjoy your new toy.😊Take care, Cheers Andy 🤠

[@michaelchartres]

Thanks again Andy. The Insta360 give fantastic quality but I have to learn all the settings. Cheers Michael

I went around the Morgan factory about 25 years ago when my father in law's new Morgan was almost ready for collection. Not sure about the colour balance with your 360 cam but as you say you are still learning it.

[@michaelchartres]

I wonder how much has changed since your visit. I have been working on the factory visit video but not happy with it. Cheers Michael

[@flyingkub]

@@michaelchartres I am sure the video will be great. I don't think much would have changed, they tend to use 30's tech, married to modern engines.

Really interesting Micheal, I didnt know about the Morgan Factory and ive been to Malvern several times on the Motorbike. I think you were unlucky with some of the footage from inside the camper, Sun reflecting off the windscreen. A tip when editing the 360, if you click on the yellow lines between key frames you can alter the speed of rotation.

[@michaelchartres]

Thanks Mark. As I have said to other comments, I have a lot to learn. See you in the lane, Michael

Very nice video and your new camera is working well. Personally have not been viewing lately because of problems with my Apple I Mac Computer which I think is on it's last legs but too expensive to replace at the moment. Probably will have to go back to a Windows machine which I have not used for many years. Lots have catching up to do and I do love your videos. Cheers Malcolm

[@michaelchartres]

Good to see you back. Maybe have a word with the company I used to buy another laptop. I'm sure they will have a Mac at a very good price. Cheers Michael

[@malcolmpayne754]

Hi Michael Thanks for the suggestion and I might just do that! Everything so expensive these days! Cheers Malcolm

Hi Michael, I’ve been to Malvern a few times over the years as it’s not too far from Gloucester where I live but never to the Morgan factory looking forward to seeing your video of it cheers Al

[@michaelchartres]

Thanks Al. I am working on the factory video but I used the 360 camera and I am struggling with the editing. It's fun but I have a lot to learn Cheers, Michael

[@pilpelet100]

Thanks for an interesting video. Apart from the fact that the film seems a bit blue (is that overexposed?) I'm not a fan of the 360-degree cameras. A lot of people are using them now but I prefer the videos from a "normal" camera!

[@michaelchartres]

Hello Filip. I am finding the 360 camera a lot of fun BUT I must learn how to use it properly and get the settings right. The big advantage is that you capture things you didn't see. Whereas you would PAN with a normal camera with a 360 PANNING is a bad idea. That can be done during editing. Anyway, many thanks for your comment. Regards Michael
