My family and I took a trip to Montreal in May of 2023 as a quick vacation escape to celebrate our 21st anniversary. We spent 3 brief days and 2 nights in this beautiful city. We live 2 hours to the south in Northern Vermont and Montreal is so close to where we live. We want to return frequently to explore this place further!
The purpose of our trip was personal and not professional but I wanted to capture some video footage while in town anyway. That means, there were many times when we were just walking around and enjoying the sights without any of my cameras with me. For this, I used GoPro Hero 10 Black and a DJI Mini 2 to capture most of the content in this video.
I'm practicing in a niche that I want to explore further--- creating travel videos! This is the 3rd video I've created in this genre in a VLOG type style. I already see so many ways for this video to improve. Feel free to share ideas with me in the comments below. Please be respectful and gracious with me in your comments.
