Okay, so I now have a working video camera again. It will come as no surprise then to hear that I’ve finally made my first proper upload to YouTube. However, all is not as it seems. I have an all singing, all dancing, spangly new camcorder and my first YouTube upload is a slideshow of still photographs taken at Leicester’s Welford Road Cemetery.
I’ve written about this place on previous incarnations of this blog. Welford Road Cemetery is Leicester’s answer to Highgate. It was one of the first of the new municipal cemeteries built in the 19th Century. I’ve had many a happy hour wandering the quiet paths of these few acres of land with my camera. The “video” I uploaded is a “photographic appreciation” of the place.
Well worth a visit if you’re in Leicester and appreciate this kind of thing.

You have quite an eye sir! Two in fact, unless I’m very much mistaken.
It’s great to see you being so arty, can’t wait to see what you produce with your new camcorder
Peace

I don’t know if I can be so “arty” with the camcorder. The main function of that for me is of course to capture The Small Bringer of Chaos as she grows up. I suppose the more I do with it the more I’ll get used to it, but somehow my imagination seems to work better with still images. Certainly I can’t see a video camera feeling so much “part of me” as a still camera does.
Anyway, as I keep saying – I look forward to getting the chance of pointing my lenses at you sometime soon :^)

Humm, alas YouTube made me pull the video a while back because I used a Doors track as the backing music. And yet there is still how much copyrighted material up on there which they seem quite happy to host? Ah well….
