I know absolutely nothing about shooting and producing video but this looks fantastic to me Patrick...well done! You've captured the mood and spirit of what weddings should be and how they should feel then delivered that to the viewer.

If I ever get married again and decide to do it in Greece...you're hired. Of course if I do get married again it's because I came home with that new 600mm lens so I'm not sure I'd be able to afford your services.

Good to hear from you again,
Peter

Great to hear from you, Patrick! I hope the video business is a success for you both and that you are keeping well.

Welcome back. Thats a pretty impressive video. I hope the business works out, even with the difficult times your country is going through.

cheers guys! nice to hear from you again!

@C&A - well, as much as it would be fun shooting the bird shooter, you better mind the Missus!
@AoO - much appreciated, we are trying to dive in a market segment that already has a lot of competition, and good great competition for that matter
@afb - thanks mate! Greece is in ruins yet again, and it will be hard picking up the piece henceforth.

Indeed. Any ideas why they start off so intricately detailed then mature into a less elaborate plumage?

I think they are adopted.

Camouflage mate. They're vulnerable when they're young so they have plumage that hides them from predators.

Yesterday's dog walk was nice.

Yesterday's dog walk was nice.

That looks like a good running path also.

The last from the airport until I get back for twilight, I promise. Looking along the water feature across to the terminal. Again, completely overcast and the sky was recovered (somewhat) in Lightroom.

Nice, but you left the dog at home!

That looks like a good running path also.

If I was into that kind of masochism then I imagine it is as the ground is mostly composed of decades of compressed rotting vegetation, making it really soft and springy. There were plenty of runners and mountain bikers around.

Nice, but you left the dog at home!

He was stage left in the bushes somewhere

Possibly AFB but more likely:

Camouflage mate. They're vulnerable when they're young so they have plumage that hides them from predators.

I'm thinking camouflage is correct...maybe not to hide but to make them look less appetizing. They don't look very tasty to me.

I've just had two... on toast. Can't recommend them too highly...

Another one from the Bristol Balloon festival. I edited out some people and buildings as I found them distracting. Is that wrong?

Not at all... sometimes wish I could do that in real life!
