Christmas at Longwood Gardens - 2022

This video combines photography and video by Gene Castellano with relaxing music that brings the world class Christmas displays at Longwood Gardens to life. It was created to bring a few minutes of calm to friends and family during the busy holiday season.
All of the images in this video were taken at Longwood Gardens near Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Gene Castellano is a Delaware historian and amateur photographer.
The music of the London boys choir, Libera, and their rendition of the Carol of the Bells inspired the mood of this video.

Beautiful. What kind of camera do you use? Also loved your choice for music.

Thanks for following my videos. I use two small cameras: the latest models of the Canon G7X and Canon M50. The G7X fits in my pocket, has a nice zoom range and excellent low light range. The M50 is a small, mirrorless DSLR that takes both new, smaller lenses made for it as well as all of my older Canon lenses by using an adapter collar. The M50 was on a 3D gimbal for video but found it easier to just put it on a monopod. Two cameras are nice when you come in from the cold and have to deal with greenhouse humidity fogging everything up. I keep the G7X in an inside pocket that stays warm and will not fog up. I heard Carol of the Bells by Libera a year ago but spent about 6 months trying to find the track name. You may enjoy the My December music in my Retrospectives video as well, which also inspired the choice of images I used.
