Hi guys, to keep things going here is a bit of music played by some personal friends that have been doing the pub & club rounds for years & years. This is from 2012.

Cheers Eric although it might look easy to film but maxed out on the telephoto and hand held at my age isn't easy anymore.

It's all part of the rock n roll show and possibly he may do it because he couldn't portray it anyway else. We all act differently when we are in fancy dress if you think about it. All the guys in the band are serious about their music and all hold down other jobs. I have got to know them and they are really decent blokes with families regardless of how they perform and come across on stage.
The guy on the left is the "Keith Richard" of the band !

I used 3, a camcorder a GoPro and an audio recorder. Unfortunately the SD card in the GoPro (that I used in a fixed position) gave up during the filming of this gig by the band and it was only when I went to download the footage that it showed an SD card error that curtailed the editing so it could have been better. This has never happened before even running it for an hour at a time at 40c ambient heat with the camera getting even hotter. I only use large genuine Sandisk cards and not cheapo "knock off" ones.
I use the fixed position track on the bottom timeline and the camcorder track that I wander about with zooming in on the interesting parts above it. I record the soundtrack on a Zoom audio recorder in WAV form sometimes off the bands mixing desk and sync all the 3 tracks together using the audio waveform patterns . I can then cut bits out or alter anything on the visual side how I want it to look. I finally render it using only the WAV audio.
I have used 4 cameras in the past but it takes ages to edit so I try and limit it to 2, also things sometimes get a bit hectic at some of the "gigs" and things get knocked over that are on a tripod  or moved slightly missing what I was hoping to film!
As I only travel with hand luggage I can't take too much stuff with me on the plane, however in the past I have left a camcorder in our property so as I happen to have 5 I might do that again.
As far as the "Fashion Police" statement is  concerned I don't get it either and I can't believe that people actually buy new clothing that looks old and has holes in it !!

She certainly was Eric, it's a pity that there wasn't much ambient light there as the lens was wide open so that I could get a better shutter speed and was on autofocus as she was moving about. The Sony camcorder that I was using has a terribly slow autofocus system compared to my Panasonic ones but does gain in other parts. As I don't take any cases on board the aeroplanes these days I am limited to hand luggage along with my laptop otherwise I would take at least a couple of cameras.

Well boys I liked both videos and as usual wildlife & bushes & trees form 75% of the films that none of us should ignore and just glad that we still have them in this crazy world we find ourselves in, with Dr Strangelove not that many miles away !!
We are still down in Spain for a while and with the way things are going I have no idea when we will get back. We have already had our return flights cancelled next month and hopefully we don't get fined for being over our 90 day limit !
I have been editing several films for our village in Kent that I took over the Jubilee festival just before we were lucky to get on a delayed flight and arrived at our place in Mojacar on the 6th June at 1.30 am !
I haven't had much time to make any decent films down here although I did pop up the main village at the weekend on Saturday night to video a bit of the Moors &Christians festival that has been postponed for the last 2 years. I have filmed a couple of bands that I wouldn't put on here as I don't think it would suit you as they are a bit "grungy" and not too brilliant !
I took quite a bit of film at the night festival but have only put a small amount on this vid to show you what goes on down here in our little bit of paradise, by the way it's nice n warm at the moment with most days clocking up to 40c but low humidity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1T-WPwMi08&t

We are on the edge of a desert and the humidity is not excessive but can get high at night, I will have a check in a couple of weeks as I have an electronic barometer in the bedroom.

Thank you very much, yes all ages down here like a good time and a decent group but obviously music is subjective to us all, also some are very good and some are (lets say) "not so good" !!, however most of the groups in our area are made up of older musicians that have been playing since schooldays and improved with age that suits the retirees including us. In fact a lot of the groups have members that in their youth played with named bands from the 60s/70s and can still do the business in their retirement as when they moved over here they brought there old gear with them. There is a mixture of nationalities that play together but mainly Spanish/English and the band in the film are all Spanish apart from the bass player who is English. The singer can sing opera as you can tell by his voice and he makes a good job as he is not singing in his native tongue.
I do have a very steady hands that I am thankful for however I was using my Sony FDR AX53 on that occasion filming in XAVC S HD and rendered it in a widescreen format. Although it's a heavier camcorder than my Panasonics and isn't quite as fully adjustable I have learnt to "drive it" better since I bought it. Incidentally I filmed this at 9pm and there wasn't that much ambient light in the venue and no other lighting switched on as the main group that was playing afterwards on the stage above and behind them had all the lights set up for them ! so most of the time the lens was at F3.4 as I wanted to use a high frame rate as I was moving about. I also recorded the audio from a separate recorder to keep the sound the same throughout and synced it afterwards in post.
On Sunday night I will try and film another group in a crowded bar on the beach opposite our abode that has a singer who is English who also can also sing opera, however it might be a bit of a struggle to make a decent video as it does get crowded so I will see what I can do !

Well instead of putting on a slow calming video for us OAPs I do actually film a lot of music groups down here in Spain. This is one I shot on Saturday night in Bedar a village about 10 miles inland from our place and it is just a normal occurrence as the Spanish love any excuse to be loud and have a drink and a dance
The bass player is the only English member and asked me if I could make a quick video for them.                     
See how long you can put up with it !

I thought it would be "up your street! well done. We are in Spain at the moment and I have "double trouble" as I managed to bring two women with me !

Talking of wild garlic, this does show that you can eat it as my wife shows, although I would wash it first !!!!

Yes we have been there many times, in another life I raced cars very successfully from 1968-2012 and won 0ver 250 races in the UK/Belgium/Ireland/Germany/ Holland plus 2 British championships, and Castle Combe race circuit was one of the tracks that we used. As the village is just down the road from the circuit we would go and explore it as we were there for the whole weekend.
