St Patrick’s Day Parade, Dublin & Top Photography Tip
Show Notes
In 2014 I went to Dublin for a city break around St Patrick’s Day, the parade through the city centre was dazzling and fun and full of colour and life, the complete opposite to this year. I am working through all of my photography archives, removing the bad images and selecting everything that is in focus and I found myself looking through and editing photos of that day in 2014 on St Patrick’s Day 2021.
Just a bit of fun and there’s some advice about photography right at the end, I hope you enjoy this video and look forward to better times.
Onto The Images
Conclusion
All of these images stood out to me, so I edited them in a particular style to create a cohesive project. The top tip is to keep all your photos that are in focus and go through your archives, re-editing your images to create different styles. You never know what you will be able to do with an image in 1, 5 or 10 years time and that image from years ago that you dismissed could become a great image for you in the future.

About the Film
Just a little information about the film and how I made it, as well as some links to equipment.
I edited the film using the Free Version of DaVinci Resolve. It’s an incredibly powerful piece of software that I am still trying to understand and will possibly write an article about in the future.
The tracks featured in today’s film were licensed via a subscription with Epidemic Sound. (By following that link, if you purchase a subscription then I will be gifted with a month free for referring you to their services)

Main Vlog Camera is a simple Panasonic G80 with the kit lens, its a great little mirrorless camera that I got for the sole purpose of creating YouTube videos. It’s capable of filming in 4k and seems to do everything that I want it to.
Rode Mic, I got this little microphone to boost the audio quality from the inbuilt microphone.
Action Camera, I use this to film myself when walking. It’s a simple DJI Pocket Osmo camera that has a motorised 3 axis gimbal head, which means that I stay in focus and static while the landscape around me moves. It’s also capable of filming in 4k and the audio quality is quite good.
Voice Recorder, to boost the audio quality when it’s windy or I’m using the action camera I use this handy little voice recorder with a lapellier microphone to record audio.
