A day trip to Portavadie.

This video is about a day out at Portavadie Marina, in Scotland.
This is a new KZread channel, and after I publish some earlier travel documentaries and sample photography, from 2016 to 2024, I intend to then offer something a little different in the sailing community. More details soon.
I'm going to be 70 in a few weeks,and I intend to share my knowledge and humour on some of my professional experiences. A quiet retirement at home is not for me, I need to be busy.
My background is in photography and video, although you would never be able to tell that from this video! lol
I've put this on KZread, primarily for my family and friends, but if you also enjoy it, that's good too. Travel stuff from the last few years will get "aired" soon with progress on my sailing journey added monthly.
I'm looking for sponsorship and can offer free web hosting, photography, music production, or accountancy services in return.
Please subscribe (which is free), and if you would like to become a patreon, more details will be available on that in the next video. That one will be about Port El Kantatou, in Tunisia.
Thanks for reading this.

    Skye is my car's name. lol 😂 The video portion was shott using my Samsung S24 Uktra at 2k. I also had my Sony A7R IV with me and three lenses on for stills. The lenses used were the Sony G Master 85mm F1.4, Sigma 40mm F1.4 and the Sigma 105mm F1.4, which I ended up not using due to its wait. The 40mm is no lightweight, but I love that focal length. Like I said, though, this is a new channel, and the video quality will go up by the time I get to my new video format. More on that soon. This video was edited in Lighcut (on the road). I normally use Da Vinci Resolve for my pro work, more on that soon. The next 8 or 69 videos are all going to be a bit of a mixed bag, but hopefully, those of you who've looked in wi) enjoy them anyway. They're mostly POV videos, and a lot of crazy things, but a real sailing/travel channel will emerge eventually! 🤣⛵️ This will give you all time to adjust to the Scots brogue. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 One thing you can be confident of, is there's going to be a LOT of photography. Both with my phones and my cameras. I use a Fujifilm H1 and manual lenses on holiday, sometimes when I'm just out in my car. This is augmented with a DJI Poxket 1, which I still like today even though we're now at version 3 at the time of writing this. I also use a Sony A7R IV with several Sony G Master lenses, Sigma lenses and vintage manual lenses. More on using all of the gear, sailing, travel photoshoots, Web Hosting and other fun stuff to come. Please subscribe and leave a like if you enjoy any of the crazy videos I'll be putting on here in the next few months. Lots of useful tips thrown in amongst the humour. Pictures galore and much, much more! Hope to bring you more soon. ⛵️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📸🏖👌☕️
