A Peaceful Early Morning Walk at Leek Nature Reserve

۞ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Daveswalks
All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!

No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside. A nice gentle walk around Leek - Staffordshire, exploring through parks gardens and a few streets. My first walk at 6am, Almost no people at all, which is perfect with us all currently social distancing. And also my first walk with my GoPro 8. Stabilisation is great! It gets a bit shaky in one dark area and I think I need to lower the colour saturation a bit, but other than that I like it! Also, sorry for the frequent appearance my mic keeps making on the side, will have to try angle that away a bit more in the future..

My 18th of hopefully many video walks.

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!

I upload every Sunday 11.45am GMT (3.45am PST) (6.45am EST) (5.15pm IST) (9.15pm ACST)

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve 16 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to YouTube. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.
