Playing with GoPro’s TimeWarp Feature
TimeWarp does a kind of timelapse for motion, but smooths everything out. I still wanted a ride that took over an hour to be faster, so there’s some post-processing here to further speed up large sections to get a video under 90 seconds.

Binaural Walk
On Friday I went for my daily constitutional, and I recorded it in binaural sound. Play back the video above to hear a short version, with some photographic visualisation. You need to wear headphones! The binaural effect doesn’t work without them.

Driving Under Lockdown
As the roads are currently much emptier during the UK coronavirus lockdown, in general terms it’s actually somewhat safer out there. The air is clearer and there’s much less traffic. Of course only those who are doing work that can’t be done from home, and those either shopping or doing other critical chores are supposed…

Wester Ross
In what now seems like an age ago, although it was actually just a couple of weeks ago, I spent the week in Wester Ross, a part of the Scottish Highlands that I hadn’t really visited before. It’s that part of the western Highlands that includes Torridon, Gairloch and Ullapool. I was based in a…

Attaching a Peak Design Strap to a Sony RX100
I made the above video because I had been struggling to find a way to attach a Peak Design Leash strap to a Sony RX100 camera. I solved it using angling split rings, as they were the only rings small enough to go through the loops on the RX100 camera body. Yes – my RX100…

Just A Regular Cycle Ride Home
I turned on my bike camera this evening for the first time in ages, and a single ride pretty much captured everything in a single shot. Two separate cars turning across me either not indicating at all, or indicating half-way through the manoeuvre. A bus entering a box junction before it can ensure it can…

Experiments with Acrylic Ink and Water
The other day I was drinking a cup of tea in one of those cafés where they provide the hot water, tea bag and milk separately. I let the tea brew before stirring the milk in and was entranced by the smokey effect of the milk being stirred into the water. Then I went to…

Norfolk Coast
Shot last week in North Norfolk near Sheringham and its golf club. The railway is the North Norfolk Railway, and the music is Erupting Light by Hildur Guðnadóttir.

North Norfolk
I spent a few days in Norfolk over Easter, and along with a few bits of video I shot prior to that, I made this video. The drone footage was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro, while the remaining footage was shot with a DJI Osmo Pocket. The accompanying photos were shot using the same…

Photography Portfolio
For those who are interested, I’ve just rebuilt my photography portfolio, which incorporates a bit of video and screen printing too. The link at the top now takes you to an exciting new page, adambowie.photography which has a much neater design asthetic. Yes, I’m using one of those new(ish) domains. And it should be full…

DJI Osmo Pocket: A Slow Motion Test
Over Christmas I treated myself to a new camera – the newly released DJI Osmo Pocket. This thing is a wondrously small gimbal mounted camera, that I thought might be really interesting to carry with me on bike rides. This absolutely isn’t a proper review, since I’ve not had the device long enough. Instead, it’s…

Late Autumn
I thought I’d try to get my drone up for the dying days of autumn before the leaves have fully gone and the cold settles in. So late afternoon on Saturday I captured some footage over Trent Park. I was pretty satisifed with the results, and because I’m seeing Amiina on Sunday evening, I used…

Epping Autumn
A lovely autumn day meant I could both go for a cycle ride and take the drone out flying. The results are above.
