Video of a plane just after take off from Santorini airport
Yes, a plane taking off. I was sat there at sunrise when this plane flew over, leaving the Greek Island of Santorini for who knows where?
I have seen lots of planes take off and land, but it still amazes me that they can actually get off the ground!

Video of my sunrise photo taken in Altea with moving clouds
Another of those still images with movement which I love, created using Plotaverse on my iPad Pro. Using this clever app I added movement to the sky.
This picture was captured using my Canon 6D and Canon 70-200mm lens on the beach at Cap Negret looking towards Calp.

Three videos taken in the countryside near Witchampton in Dorset
Three videos taken the other day on the way home after a client meeting.
Driving home, I was drawn to a line of trees on the skyline, but could not find the view I wanted. You can see the line of trees on the horizon in the middle. These videos are taken from the other side of where I saw them initially.
These videos were captured using my iPhone 7 Plus and DJI Osmo Mobile.
I am still trialling this combo for video production - the walking down the road video shows the kind of effect and smoothness I am after.
If I can manage to produce commercial quality video walkthroughs using this gear combo I will be highly delighted. In the meantime I am enjoying practising when I am out and about.

Video of morning clouds at sunrise in Santorini by Rick McEvoy Photography Travel Photographer
I am way behind with the editing of my photos of Santorini.
Other stuff has got in the way. So here is a video of the scene one morning at sunrise of the spooky but spectacular clouds down below as i went in search of something interetesting in the lovely town of Imerovigli.
In the words of Blue Peter - here’s one I prepared earlier! Youngsters - look this up or ask the olds.
This is the view that greeted me that first fantastic morning in Santorini.
I am going to get on with the photos that I am editing - to date I have produced 36 images, and have less than one hundred to to go. One slight problem here is that looking at some of the edits I have produced I feel that there are potentially better image captures of some of these scenes, so regrettably I am going to go back and make the process even longer!!! I am setting myself the very adventurous goal of completing all my Santorini photos by Thursday 28th February. February 2018 that is.
I might wait for the latest update to Lightroom which is rumoured to be on its way which will help with problems of the speed of the software - the problem is I do not know when this will happen - all I know is that this is apparently imminent.
Hmmm.
No - I will persist with Lightroom and see how I get on.
At the same time I am going to start my research into stock photography - these are separate activities which are done at separately allocated times of the day so one will not imapct on the other. Indeed getting my plan for stock photography up and running should give my image processing a bit of a nudge in the right direction.
Sorry if this post is a bit rambling and all over the place - I have lots of different things going on at the moment, so much so that I need to take a little backward step and get myself organised again.
That is the job for tomorrow - get everything back in order. And sort out the plan going forward.

The Acropolis or Rhodes by Rick McEvoy Travel Photographer
The final edit of the picture of the Acropolis at Rhodes at sunrise - plus my equipment set up and a short video
This is the final edit of the picture of the Acropolis of Rhodes.
Image capture details.
- Exposure - 3.2 seconds
- Aperture - F8
- ISO 400
THe picture was taken on my Canon 6D with Canon 24-105mm lens secured on my Manfrotto Pixi tripod. This was pretty much all the photography gear I took on this trip, which sat nicely in the bottom of my Peak Design Everyday Backpack, which also took my non photography hand luggage.
This is the set-up for this image, taken with my iPhone 7 Plus.
Canon 6d on my Manfrotto Pixi tripod
As you can see this is quite a simplistic set up, and with just this kit I managed to get a tack sharp image using an exposure of 3.2 seconds.
This is a great example of knowing your photography gear - I was confident that with this minimalist setup a sharp image using such a long exposure was perfectly achieveable.
And here is the scene in a short video showing the moving water as well as a bird flying by.

Sandbanks 180 degree view from Shore Road looking to Brownsea
Sandbanks IPhone video
Well this is meant to be a 15 second video of Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset. But this just appears to be a still of the start!! I took a short video from Shore Road looking along the road then panning right to take in Brownsea Island.
Not easy with an IPhone with a broken screen!!
one to resolve with Squarespace.
Pop back to my blog to see how my move into videography work progresses!
