Here is part one of my full video, the whole shoot I was focusing on composition utilising the massive hills placing them next to the small people. I shot at 4k B-raw this was because I knew I wanted to practice my colour correction, this is the best resolution to shoot at when you try and colour correct especially as I knew I was wanting to push the highlights. I was enjoying filming on this day as I haven’t really just taken my camera out and shot for a while, this is something I used to do and have simply forgotten how much I like.

Taking all your camera equipment up to the top of mountains is never easy, I always over pack and I definitely did this day taking extra bits to give myself more confidence when shooting. When I shoot there are bits of kit I always take e.g. extra cables, extra cards and extra batteries. Another thing I took this shoot was a drone (that I didn’t use!), this is one of the most frustrating things about filming in the fells.

Here is the second part of my Langdale Horseshoe film in this segment I decided to shoot some light flares to see what different actions did when filming. I love the idea of light flares, they can definitely add to the scene if they are placed and executed properly. In this segment you can see I was trying to capture darker aiming to create a more dramatic feel, this along with the refection I feel depicted the middle section of this walk really well.

Walking the Langdale Horseshoe was excellent and has inspired me to start fell running more, a sport I have a love hate relationship with but I aim to run more. With this in mind I think filming in the fells is going to be something I do weekly (weather dependant) simply because I really want to progress in the outdoor filmmaking world.

Here is the last part I am posting in this blog and honestly this is my favourite section. Shooting this part with all the beautiful scapes was so much fun, the time of day only enhanced the beauty of this place I adore the Lake District but this section made me really appreciate the place I live. Walking up Bow Fell was steep and icy but this only added to the excitement. Along with this I met up with two friends running at the top a testament to how much I love living up here everyone having the same mindset and getting out there and doing things. A motto I want to live by “I am a man for doing, not saying” by Joss Naylor simple yet effective, I need to start doing things and not just saying things.
