Iron Maiden my favourite heavy metal band. I was originally from the Eastend of London and saw the very early Maiden at the Teviot festival in 1977. I was also at junior school with Steve's first wife Lorraine and their first band manager. Some firms wouldn't employ SH and turned him away because he's hair was to long... bet their sorry now. I go to see SH band British Lion when they play the good old Cart&Horse's in Maryland. Another good video by the way.

Well done mate. A few changes since I lived there. You could have mentioned David Beckham's childhood home, gone up to the hospital, Down to Bush Wood and the border with Wanstead and the Flats (given to the public by Queen Victoria on her Diamond Jubilee).Perhaps mentioned that Leytonstone is on the edge of Epping Forest? On a more frivolous note, mentioned the old pedestrian bridge over the High road, nicknamed "The Bridge of Sighs", so called because it had open ironwork sides and was quite revealing as skirts got shorter! It has long since been removed, possibly because women and girls stopped using it!

I worked on a few petrol stations along Leyton High Rd back in around 1981 , this brought back a few memories . Thanks for sharing .

[@Rickyivesofficial]

@@monty6545 have lived here since birth in the late 80s seen many changes around the area from 2 way traffic to single and all the old shops etc good to have the memories your welcome 🙏

[@monty6545]

@@Rickyivesofficial Back then they were Total petrol stations , we carried out repairs and maintenance on the pumps and pipework . We would have used one or two of the Cafe's along there too .

For b-roll, it's very nice. Awful to actually film yourself with whilst walking. However, the colour looks lovely, is this the colour straight from the camera preset?

[@Rickyivesofficial]

@@TravelinChina yes true the lens has no image stabilisation so having to use the digital image stabilisation in camera which crops the image slightly. Good for head talking videos this lens with its 1.4 f stop giving you chance to use in low light conditions. Not ideal for walking around vlogging I was thinking of trying out the 22mm canon mirror less pancake lens. Colours I’m using a flat colour profile with reduced saturation and contrasts and then editing slightly in premier pro to bring the colours back in 🙏

The engine shed *sigh* :( Fantastic gent he was. I used to be in awe going there as a kid.

[@Rickyivesofficial]

[@uthmanloonat4350]

Pollards on the corner of Burghley Road was a legendary shop

[@annabel652]

Hills corner shop and Marios hairdressers legends of the high road. Leos when it first opened was a main event after we lost sainsburys to a fire.

[@Rickyivesofficial]

@@annabel652 I remember Leo’s well used to go there often I think it became a food giant before matalan if I remember correctly? 2 way traffic in the high road etc lol. Good times 😅

[@zedchoud]

@@Rickyivesofficial There was a pedestrian bridge up top of high road to cross over.

Aperture priority doesn’t sort out the shakes. I live in Leytonstone ❤

[@Rickyivesofficial]

+@DawahDigital I been using manual mode for vlogging but I find it painful to keep adjusting filters etc to get the exposure and prefer it if it does that sort itself I might try shutter priority keeping it at 60 whilst my filming mode is 30 double the frame rate see how that works. Any recommendation?

[@DawahDigital]

@@Rickyivesofficial yeah the 180 degree rules is perfect for this. Try auto white balance - it may sort it out for ya.

Looks like Bagdad
