Lenses used were the Panasonic 14-45, 45-175, and Olympus 60mm macro as well as 75-300. Other equipment used was a Benro S-6 tripod, Tascam DR-40 audio recorder, and Rhino Slider V1 carbon. Edited with Edius 5.51 after footage was downsized to 1080. Music “Emotions” by Akashic Records. Music license acquired from Jamendo invoice #JAM-WEB-2016-0020xxx.

Lovely Mark,
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bryce, much appreciated.

Wonderful Video Mark,

I love the footage and the music goes very nicely together, the start and the end are very nicely thought of , loved it.

Much appreciated Vishal.

That was top notch work. Definitely "full-screen worthy" in my opinion.

Andrew

Lovely footage, and well thought out. I'll watch this one again.

Thank you Mark. I think you just inspired me to get out of the city for at least a day this week. My time in the wilderness is so limited these days. Every time I look at something like this it inspires me to change priorities. Great job!

Steve

Thanks, Andrew, Steve and Steven. I am glad that you liked it.

Hi Mark , lovely footage, well cut together with appropriate music. Enjoyed watching. Hope you don't mind me adding a small suggestion? At the start cutting from the black back ground title to the map if you start to fade your music in a few seconds before the cut it will make a big difference ,it will smooth out the transition from the title to the film. Mick

Thanks Mick, I will experiment with your suggestion.
