Last autumn, as I was contemplating returning to blogging (three present participles in a row!), I was also contemplating moving The Brown Knowser to YouTube, to bring it from the world of blogs to being a vlog. I began to think about what I would capture on video and which camera I would use.
One afternoon, as I was driving home from work, I decided to stop in the Arboretum, just off Prince of Wales Drive, near the Central Experimental Farm. I had both my Nikon D7200 D-SLR and my Insta360 One X video camera. It was a mostly cloudy day, with the sun making only an occasional appearance, and the autumn leaves on the myriad trees were aglow in oranges, yellows, pinks, reds, and greens.
I wandered underneath the colourful foliage and roamed up and down the steep hill that led to the Rideau Canal. I put my video camera to work, and composed some short videos, which I shared to Instagram. You can see the videos here, and here, and here.
I also took a vast number of photos, but because I wasn't ready to return to blogging, I posted a few, also on Instagram, and shelved the rest. Earlier this week, I was considering posting the photos as a Wordless Wednesday, but because I felt that they needed some sort of an explanation, I've posted them today.
While I have started The Brown Knowser on YouTube, I'm not ready to move to pure video. But that can always change...
