Pedro Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 and made a video: At the end, while there is a bit of an @XTreme moment happening, Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" was actually playing in my Spotify in my helmet I visited that convent twice in two weeks, once with great weather and no camera battery, and this time with camera filming but the weather like you see here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Brilliant Pedro.......but I sure as hell wouldn't have ridden in those conditions! I could have done the bike washing bit though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debated internally if I should, still wet streets before making it to Sofia's garage, and the bike was hardly properly clean. Still more presentable than the muddy mess it was before washing, though. Went on a tour of Ericeira's cobbled streets and blue and white houses just for you but ran out of battery on the camera just exiting the washing station. I might invest in a more modern GoPro with stabilization and better batteries if I get into this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, might just go for a little ride around town if the weather is good in the weekend, while the circulation is open in the mornings. Make an "urban" video, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Looks like it was a nice ride, rain and all. I am missing my bike very much, should be back in action next week. Riding along beside the windmills looked really cool. I could never get tired of that countryside. Beautiful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bitter bad news is getting people to watch vids is like pulling teeth...most of us dont seem to spare much time on the net when it comes to watching vids. On the flip side if a vid is watchable people will, so there ya go, butt, in the end... 99.9 % of all your hard work will seem un rewarded. For message board stuff a few minutes can be a long time, its a cruel world in the movie biz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Excellent. Good views and editing too. Camera on the crash bar was my favourite. Shame about the rain, bet the views from the convent would have been great. I did skip through a couple of mins but that was because the misses kept yapping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really looking for success, more a bit of fun and a pass time. But I agree, they are too long and boring with no speech included. I am not really into talking to a camera, nor having anything more complicated than a single camera, otherwise it’ll cut too much into the simplicity of a ride. So, I’ll cut them shorter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 You can make them longer, if people watch, you can be a mini Spielberg for all i know, i met the guy in the 90's, he wasnt anything special. Sure had a hot wife, and his kids were all pretty too, wierd what money gets you... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us are perfect riders, we all fuck up on a bike doing something that tests us, got to get back on that horse. Im glad to hear she is ok. Sucks about the bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same, I edit for hours as I seem to enjoy it for a few reasons. Will I ever be an Itchy Boots, no.... BUT if I could survive on my photography and videos I would do it in a heart beat. Make the videos that make you happy and refinements will come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea behind that. But, don't think Itchy boots has anything over you in film making. I get annoyed with her after 5 seconds of speech, while your voice is a welcome addition to Youtube. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Well done Pedro, that's a pretty good effort imo. You could pehaps get off and talk to the camera when you're at the points of interest like the convent ? The bonus was the nice view of your arse when you stood up on the pegs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
