I'm sure you aren't. It'll probably surprise you what you've actually achieved if you looked back over the year.

I think I've covered everything ...... unless of course I've missed the most obvious ....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
So now I know.... I think you have read my mind Rik, and been able to put my thoughts into words. Although we are all different our aim is very similar to achieve our ambitions.
A superb video again which illustrates what can be done.

That is what I mean to say but don't have the vocabulary. Brilliant.

Most enjoyable Rik, interesting comparison and well edited to show the changes.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Very cleverly put together. The old and new videos were woven together so seamlessly.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
I've watched it a couple of times but not really thought about the ages of the shots until I read this comment from Greg, and then something dawned on me!
I had noticed that the viaduct looks a bit bare when it first appears but then in the shot subsequently it looks much more weathered, which I sort of dismissed as a trick of the light. Having looked again I can see that there are actually several years between the shots, with loads of moss growth on the rocks at either end!
Brilliantly edited, Rik.

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
This is an example of what a garden railway should be I think. There are some other members who have equally fantastic lines and for me they are all superb and I wish I just had the room to have anyone of the members lines in our new garden. I love watching videos of these lines and although I can't replicate them I do pinch ideas from them. Hope that is okay guy's
On the video Rik you are getting to be really brilliant at making them. I watched this latest one without my ear's in (hearing aids for those who don't know what ear's are) The sound level of the music was just right, because I could hear your commentary quite clearly and I was engrossed in the scenery so much it took me awhile to spot any changes in the years. You are that good at mixing and slicing the scenes. Thank you Rik for another superb video, I could watch them all day, but I don't think Anne would be best pleased spending 8 hours or more watching them... She is brilliant by the way and doesn't have any hangs ups with me with the time I spend with garden railways.
By the way Rik, what equipment do you use for videoing your films. The quality is excellently produced. I do have a Nikon camera and my iPhone does take some decent videos. I did have a JVC video camera a few backs, but alas it packed up....

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Hi Rod
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed this latest one.
I use a fairly ancient Panasonic video camera - it was the cheapest I could find with a mike socket. This was because I was filming my visits to narrow gauge railways around the UK and wanted to overcome wind noise. I sewed myself a fluffy sleeve for my mike which is apparently called a dead kitten
With Covid I had to curtail my Ng railway visits and also the ones I've not visited so far are much further away and so will take a few days to visit (eg the North East, Scotland and Ireland).

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks for all your feedback, chaps.
I really enjoyed this one myself - comparing old and new is a great way of reminding myself that I have been doing things to improve the railway over the years. I've got another retrospective video in the pipeline which, hopefully, will be premiered next week

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Another masterpiece in filming, editing and narrating. Your voice sounds so warm and casual, disguising the vast amount of preparation and construction work it has taken to create your miniature world. Thoroughly enjoyable video, again, even without popcorn!

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Thanks Peter. I hadn't realised it was seven years since I originally shot a similar video. It was interesting for me to see how some sections of the line have changed in that time.
