This video was taken with my Canon XL1s during a day of alternating sun and showers.

Fortunately, I stumbled across this short verse read by Roger Moore, preceeding some beautiful cello music.

This video was not posted due to any qualities of excellence, it is merely to share an experience of mine on Thursday 1st October 2008, when I met up with fellow Vimeoites Gerald and 4Moorhens2 at Tern Hill in Shropshire UK.

There is a companion video on the 4Moorhens2 Vimeo area that was taken with the Canon XHA1, this shows the 'straight' version of our encounter with this beautiful family of Swans.

So, this is the artistic video, which was inspired by this beautiful music from the Carnival of animals (The Swan), by Cellist Mischa Maiskya.

Here's a direct link to the 4Moorhens2 companion video vimeo.com/1893124

    Pleased to report that mum ("Pen") and the five youngsters were doing just fine today (Sunday.) Dad ("Cob") still seems be off on his travels some where.

    I like the "Saintly" intro to this one Keen...

    Giving your age away there chum, most people would say something along the lines of 'from Rose Bond with love'

    Till the next time Fourmoors.

    very nice Keen. The intro was spot-on and the effects were unusual but effective - nice job :)

    Great effects and most appropriate music.
  • Keen Johns 1 year ago
    Thanks John.

    In fact it was the music and intro by Roger that inspired a little more than a standard presentation.

    Thanks for calling and taking time to comment.

    Regards

    Keen
