Morning YouTube, well I say morning I think it's just after lunch time so after 12 noon
so technically afternoon but it's still nice and bright and crisp out here and
enjoying a little walk and seeing what kind of photographs I can capture.
I've got the Panasonic FZ82 simply because I've not used it for a while
so I thought I'd pick that up and uh we'll see what kind of photographs I can find
in this Winter wonderland. It's a bit frosty still in certain parts where the sun hasn't got to yet.
and as I say we'll see what kind of photographs I can capture,
I'll see if there's any points of interest on the way but yeah. see you in a bit.
so I don't know if you can see behind me the road's absolutely flooded, just a muddy
footpath at the moment, no hard standing so I'm gonna have to either call it a day or see
if I can pick through that but it does actually make a nice portrait composition with the tree
and the reflection of the sky in the puddles so might take a shot and see how that comes out.
Here we go another challenge to get around hopefully I don't think that's gonna be frozen.
Something satisfying about the noise of breaking ice though. That crunch...
...and the squelch
yes definitely wellies weather
I'm sure this is probably a short walk when you're not having to pick your way through all of the
ice and puddles but we'll press on and see what we can find.
So after clambering through all of that I guarantee there's a pair of
wellingtons on next week's shopping list now. Right onwards and upwards.
So I'm pleased to report I've got some nice firm tarmac to walk on
which might not be as good for my knees but certainly stopped my feet from getting wet,
so yeah let's plod on let's see what else turns up
This tarmac might be better to walk on but I just nearly broke my neck on some black ice.
anyway better concentrate on walking, where I'm walking than vlogging so I'll see you in a bit
A lot of you probably wonder why I use the FZ82,
but I think it's perfect for situations like this, we're in lockdown, you can't bring a tripod
so there's no point in bringing loads of different lenses out with your tripod and all the other kit
so a little bridge camera like this ideal for this type of situation.
You can just take it with you sling it around your neck no need for a kit bag with all the stuff in
and just come out, click away take a few shots and then just enjoy yourself. Enjoy the walk, enjoy
being out and enjoy your photography. I think it's better than being put off saying you know
what I can't take my gear, I'm not going out at all. So get out take the camera doesn't matter if
it's compact, it could be your phone, just get out enjoy yourself, enjoy the walk out, the fresh air
and uh we're gonna be indoors plenty enough with this lockdown so we might as well enjoy ourselves.
That's my little thought. So just walk past a little fishing lake
and I don't know if you can see where is he there, out on the tyres there there's a cormorant.
I'm sure he's probably having a fantastic time uh picking off all the fish.
So uh yeah, I thought I'd see if I can grab some shots with the FZ82,
it does go up to 1200mm equivalent, and we'll see if we get some photos. Typically look he's
got his wings out now but by the time I get around to turn the camera back on and
pointing at his direction he's given up with that, never mind we'll see what I can get.
So I've pretty much reached the end of my vlog there's not much exciting
sort of scenery to look at from here on. So I shall leave you here
and leave you with the images. I hope you've enjoyed this little walk out and uh I certainly
have it's been good exercise about one hour so all contributes to your overall health and well-being
so thanks for watching and see you again next time, bye for now.
