Urban Reflections - Manchester City Centre (Easter Trilogy 1) - DJI MINI3 Pro 4K - April 2024

An early Bank Holiday morning and a sunny if windy day, made for a great opportunity to try and capture some of the new buildings in Manchester City Centre - and to perhaps capture some of the architecture and reflections...
Flying the MINI3 Pro allowed us to fly close to buildings and people, and with 2 of us there Lee was able to act as a spotter for me, allowing me to concentrate on capturing the footage...

[@TheMancDroneGuy]

@@albiondrones Oh I'll look forward to the finished work. Hope you have a nice day 👍🏼😊

[@Qwackers-video]

Lovely flight. The music matched the reflective mood of the shots. 👍🏻🦆

[@albiondrones]

Thanks Mark... Yeah, I was looking t how to process all the footage, and hit on the reflections as the first it, and this music just jumped out at me...

[@DroneShowLive]

Wow 😮 what an incredible opening scene 🎬 🎥🎼🎞️🎬👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@albiondrones]

Lol, if you liked that... wait until you see some of the other footage we got...

[@churchmouse2096]

Beautifully shot and edited with perfect soundtrack

[@albiondrones]

[@stevealbin8257]

Total respect! 😮 ❤

[@albiondrones]

Thank you... it was a good day flying :)

[@English_Dawn]

Thanks for the update, excellent flying, quality and music. Exceptional flying and subject going through going though step change.

[@albiondrones]

Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting, glad it was enjoyed :)

[@English_Dawn]

@@albiondrones You are welcome. 🙂👍 Really polished product. 👌

[@Roddersville]

Wonderful photography - weaving through the city…👍🏻

[@albiondrones]

Thank you, it was a fun shoot, if a tad breezy... Have another Manchester Views video out today, and perhaps another still to edit... I shall be returning to try and capture it by night and for a sunrise and sunset at some point...

[@Aztech_Drones_UK]

Excellent video love the reflections well done 👋

[@albiondrones]

Thank you, for watching and commenting, glad it was appreciated...

[@tojj29]

Brilliant stuff 👏👏👏👏👏

[@albiondrones]

Thanks, appreciate the watch and comment... need to go back when the wind is a little less...

[@TJ-wh3wo]

Very nice video.

[@albiondrones]

Thank you kindly :)

[@Arturito0350]

great footage and masterful maneuvers to make it look so nice ... a suggestion: there is some "moire" that could be corrected at post proc. or reducing sharpness

[@albiondrones]

Thank you kindly... I noticed the moire, but wasn't aware a correction could be applied, I shall look into how to do that, thanks for the prompt...

[@waddac2]

What another amazing video. Loved it 👍👍👌👌👍👍

[@albiondrones]

Thank you, glad it was enjoyed... Hopin to add another video from that trip this week :)

[@rsmickeymooproductions4877]

'By 'eck it's gorgeous'

[@albiondrones]

Lol, thanks... don't suppose 'gorgeous' was often an adjective used to describe Manchester :)

[@paulwild3676]

⁠@@albiondronesIt’s the quote from the Boddingtons ads in the 80s. You are probably too young to remember them.

[@albiondrones]

@@paulwild3676 Oooh, now you mention it, yes I do, and I did see them... thanks for giving my old brain a jog :)

[@DroneBiker]

Very nice video Sue. Nice mirroring effects and very special buildings. Very good vide Sue, Albion Quality. 👌👌👌

[@albiondrones]

Thanks Patrick, just a shame some of the footage is a bit bouncy due to the wind... Then again, I suppose we are the ones that are hypercritical of what we create, others wont notice it quite so much..

[@DroneBiker]

@@albiondrones I saw indeed a little bounce in some shots. But the wind is hell. Yesterday I tried to film some rapeseed flower fields but the mini struggled and had some bounce in some shots. Luckely I do have some goods ones too. But that bloody wind every day again and again 😞

[@albiondrones]

@@DroneBiker true, it is out of our control, however I have a feeling I shall be redoing the location when the weather is better...

[@ladyintheskyuk]

Incredible filming and flying Suzanne. Fabulous video ❤😊

[@albiondrones]

Many thanks Yvonne... Being ever the perfectionist I have niggles with a couple of bits, hence a new version was completed this morning - just cutting some of the wind bounce and adding some more footage - which is uploading now, perhaps I shall keep the new version for a later release, or for when I go on the Drone Show next week :)

[@albiondrones]

Pst - this is the reworked version, don't tell anyone... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJexiWxsfKd5aqs

[@English_Dawn]

@@albiondrones Mcr and Salford are going through historic exponential change with lots more to come so thanks for catalogging it. 🙂👍

[@albiondrones]

@@English_Dawn thanks for watching, and commenting...I have another more general 'Urban Views' coming tomorrow, and have plans to revisit Manchetser on a regular basis, far too good a subject to ignore...

[@johnnymac26]

Fabulous video suzanne

[@albiondrones]

Thank you Johnny Mac, I have more to come from that trip later in the week :)

[@piratidisogni6907]

Great job my friend big like 👏👍🤙

[@albiondrones]

Thanks... shame it was soo windy, there are a few bits of bouncy footage...
