Cheat Lake through the seasons. A photographic exploration

This exploration of the Cheat Lake near Morgantown in West Virginia couples the dramatic photography of local photographer, Steve Heap, with the story of this lake from its beginnings to the present day.
The video illustrates the changes both along the length of the lake but also as the seasons develop and contains some striking images from the air from a drone.
This video is also available as an article which is also published with the images used in the video on www.BackyardImage.com and you can find these and many more images of the Morgantown area in my online store, steven-heap.pixels.com/collec..., available as prints and many other products.

Steve; Great video and enjoyed the audio backstory.

[@SteveHeap]

Thanks Louis! It was a bit more work than I envisaged, but it is getting some great responses!

Outstanding! What you were able to capture is just amazing. What an eye you have! Great job! look forward to seeing more from you.

[@SteveHeap]

Thanks very much for your kind comments! I plan to do more of these, so please subscribe to see the upcoming ones!

[@airplaneenvydiy9913]

I did subscribe 👍

Wonderful! Another great job! (and I like your real voice!)

[@SteveHeap]

Great! A decent microphone is the key part of this. I'll have to start work on another now!

[@billrose4975]

Great job Steve. You even got my boat docks in the shot. I have a Part 107 also but am not the drone videographer that you are!

[@SteveHeap]

Thanks Bill! Mine must be coming up for renewal soon - I haven't looked into how to do that!

[@SteveHeap]

It looks like things are easier now! You need to take an online course which you can do from home instead of a new exam.

[@billrose4975]

Yes. Renewal is just an online course and quiz but that also gives you authorization for night flying. I renewed just after it first was available

[@SteveHeap]

Yes, good point!
