2nd February 2009 Walking through snow on Barnhill Walking through snow on Barnhill, a nature reserve between Kenton, Kingsbury and Wembley. We just had the heaviest snowfall for 18 years. 15cm under my feet in this video in places. For the London, UK area this is very much a novelty. Length: 2m33s
19th February 2009 Children of Bodom - Downfall - Live at The forum, London Children of Bodom playing 'Downfall' at the Forum on 19th February 2009. Yeah I know crap sound quality but my Canon Powershot A650IS is a still camera and wasn't designed for decent videos, especially in the dark at high volumes. The mic was well overwhelmed as was the CCD sensor when the brighter lights shone in the dark. Length: 5m46s
19th February 2009 Children of Bodom Live Forum London When Sound Mixer Died a Beery Death I was recording Bed of Razors by children of Bodom at The Forum, London when someone threw beer onto the sound mixer which promptly died and caused a premature end to the gig. Yeah I know crap sound quality but my Canon Powershot A650IS is a still camera and wasn't designed for decent videos. The mic was well overwhelmed as was the CCD sensor when the brighter lights shone in the dark. The moment the mixer dies is about 57 seconds in when the sounds are no longer badly distorted! Length: 2m21s
12th March 2009 Snippet of Nightwish - Poet and the Pendulum Live at Brixtom Academy This was a section of Poet and the Pendulum that features loads of pyros and light effects. At the very end the video ends when I ducked as all these streamers were launched and draped themselves all over me! Pyros start about 30 seconds in. Watch out for the streamers at the dnd, at which point I ducked as something whacked my hand. Sound quality is rubbish but that's down to the mic of a single shot digital camera with video added for gimmick for you. Length: 2m56s
17th May 2009 Guy Westgate Glider Aerobatics Display During Aerotow Guy Westgate performing a Glider Aerobatics display in his Swift at at Duxford Air Show. Two clips of the aerobatics while on aerotow. The tow plane is a Pawnee and the aircraft looping around the Swift is a SA180 Twister. Shame that BAE 146 fin got in the way at times but still pretty dramatic. I could have done with slightly less zoom too but wasn't about to fiddle with the camera once underway. Oh yeah mind the wind noise. It was blowing a hoolie at the time. From Duxford 2009 Length: ?m??s

19th August 2011 Soaring Over Cumulus Clouds On Friday 19th August 3pm BST I soared up inside a cloud over Overton, Hampshire, UK from base 3600ft QNH to just over 4600ft QNH in a sailplane glider. Once I emerged I had some fun spiralling down around a lovely cumulus before speeding up (hence the extra wind noise) to dive under another cloud to my East as I started heading back to Lasham Airfield where I launched from. The background tone is the vario. The lower the pitch the faster I am sinking. It was pretty bumpy up there hence the camera shake which was handheld on an extended arm.
