PERMISSION FOR AERIAL WORK
I am delighted to report that the CAA has approved and renewed my Permission for Commercial Operation for a third year through to September 2018. My CAA ID number is 1281. I am looking forward to receiving requests for visual promotion work from new and existing clients. Please view my work and read my testimonials and if you are impressed please get in touch for a no-obligation estimate. It may well be a lot cheaper than you think!
ROANHEAD TIMELAPSE - 15TH AUGUST 2017
I have just changed the cover video on my Aerial Artwork page to something a bit more representative of what I do!
ROSS BAY RETREAT
ROSS BAY RETREAT
Here is a new version of my video created 20 months ago for Ross Bay Retreat (rossbayretreat.com) in Dumfries & Galloway. We really enjoyed our holiday there too and if you like the idea of staying in a holiday cottage that looks directly out onto the sea then I would certainly encourage you to have a look at their website.
In the intervening months I feel I have learnt so much more about video editing and filmmaking. Although I am proud of the original I do think that this new version is an improvement on it for a number of technical and aesthetic reasons. Please have a look and see what you think.

Garden Rabbit Hole Motion Time-lapse

I have to admit, this was a whole lot of mad fun to put together. This was done in my garden as a test, but if anyone has any ideas for locations or subject matter I might explore with this technique then please let me know!
SANDY GAP 360° SUNSET TIMELAPSE
360° SUNSET TIMELAPSE VIDEO AT SANDY GAP, WALNEY 27/02/17
As this was a first attempt it has taken a long time to create. Now I know the stages to go through to get a result it should be much quicker in the future. This is only 10 seconds long but if you are quick you can use your mouse to move all around the view. On a mobile device you can move the device itself around!
I love the way the clouds seem to be going in different directions.
The quality is low because the pixels are spread around the whole view rather than just the view ahead. I would love a higher resolution camera but they are currently very expensive!

This footage has been used within my commercial video work but I wanted to share this short clip because it was such an amazing view on a special morning as the mist over Ullswater was clearing.

Birkrigg Bracken Clearance
BIRKRIGG BRACKEN CLEARANCE
An army of dedicated volunteers braved the elements to help clear more bracken on Birkrigg Common yesterday (Tuesday 27th September) from the site of a bronze age enclosure. Organised by Louise Martin, the Cultural Heritage Officer at Morecambe Bay Partnership, the hardworking participants were then deservedly rewarded with coffee and cake at the Cash House Cafe and Bistro at Ford Park. The long version of the video can be viewed at https://youtu.be/b0Y1JMmiFQg

Here are some of my aerial photographs that I have posted in recent weeks on Twitter
Birkrigg Common Bracken Clearance
MORECAMBE BAY PARTNERSHIP BRACKEN CLEARANCE
On Thursday 25th August an enthusiastic group of volunteers travelled to Birkrigg Common to clear bracken from the site of a Bronze Age enclosure. I had been asked to take aerial photographs and undertake an aerial survey of the site but was also able to document the activity in aerial and time-lapse video.
