Neo-Flaneur Attempt #3 – Scottish Sunset

Join Stu and I on a wander along the amazingly beautiful coast of western Scotland at sunset.

You can move the camera around any time you like to choose your own view. Be sure to set the video quality as high as your system can handle too. I think this is my favorite one yet. Enjoy!

NOTES:

Highlights from Budapest with Hans

An Outtake

Here’s a little outtake from my trip to Scotland when I was playing around with early 360 videos. Be warned, the wind noise does get a bit much on top of the hill, but the view is nice and the audio recovers when heading back down. This is why we test! 😀

A Scottish Boat Trip

Daily Photo – A Scottish Boat Trip

I took this while on a boat with the amazing Stu after another delightful day exploring Scotland. I can’t wait to go back. It’s a very special place to me.

Facebook no.1

Daily Photo – Facebook no.1

Continuing the roundup of top posts across my social media, here’s the top of the pile from Facebook and that platform delivers something more along the lines of what I expected, a shot from Scotland. It’s not one of my top 5 that I most like, but hey, that’s ok. I guess people really like fairytale like castles from the far northeast coast. 🙂

Number 3

Daily Photo – Number 3

I thought it’d be fun to go through what turned out to be my top content on social media for the year and that continues today. Mainly I’ll focus on Instagram but I’ll drop in a few others towards the end as when they get traction (e.g. Flickr) the stats go crazy. So, here’s number 3 in my most viewed posts of 2023… does that make them the BEST? Not so sure, but for whatever reason they connected with people, or the algorithm!

This was one of the first images I took in Scotland (finally I made it to Scotland, and it was WONDERFUL)… certainly it was the first I processed and shared and the reach was pretty massive. It was also confusing as I’d made a pretty low effort post, no hashtags, no location tags, nothing. Just a pic and a bit of text and BAM loads of interaction across socials.

Cats + algorithm = success. In this case AI cats of the world, or what it feels the stereotypical cat would be.
Merry Christmas by the way!

Where the Waters Meet

Daily Photo – Where the Waters Meet

This is the rather awesome freshwater Loch Coruisk (right) on Skye which drains into the saltwater Loch na Cuilce via what must be one of the shortest rivers around, Scavaig River, at only a few hundred meters long.

Back a Bit

Daily Photo – Back a Bit

Here’s an alternate version of a shot from last week, this time a bit wider and a bit further back. So many options with a quadcopter and each interesting in their own right.
