Lovely shot. I've never heard of that place.

Magnificent shot DA.    That is a lovely Abbey and surrounding gardens.  

Nice. Not much abbey left from this perspective. Probably converted one building and got rid of the rest…

Looks nice, probably wouldn't mind living there.

It's quite a popular spot for people walking,     that shot got featured today on the Maldon Town IG page which was quite nice.

Thanks DT,    It got picked up by the towns IG channel for a feature this morning.

Some one does,  but as its a listed building it's very limiting to what you can do with the place.

Congrats. You're getting quite a regular contributor on there now

Ive had quite a few features over the past three years,   and Ive got one more shot I think might be featured but I'll save that for a few days as I doubt Id get picked two consecutive days.

They must know you quite well by now, I would have thought.

You're most welcome DA.  Good to hear it was picked up by the town's IG channel.    More kudos for you.

Yes, all the historic and conservational rules. They aren't in place for nothing.

Yes,  Ive had a couple recently and I've got one more planned for later in the week.

Indeed but some would seriously put me off,   like having to maintain the wall paper as is,   so if it ever needed to be replaced you'd have to have replica paper made.

I can see how that could prove to be very impractical. Having second thoughts, I could get fed up with that, too.

In some cases you can’t even change the colour of a room or exterior.

Goes to show you how much your work gets appreciated.

I just went out for a flight as the tide was coming in,    The job I was planning was some weeding and I just need to give my back a break from that for a bit.    I was just heading out over the creek when a chap stopped and said "are you the drone guy on YouTube".  I explained there was a few,  ( I suspect he was referring to the guy thats a but irresponsible as he was quite blunt).  I explained there were a few but yes I do post a few bits there.   He asked the channel so I told him,  then he was impressed with drone and had lots of questions,    funny how you can think the worst when someone approaches.

Expecting the worse has become human nature it seems.  Good that you were able to "educate" him a bit on drones.

He left quite excited about the whole thing,   I suspect I was just expecting the worse and took his bluntness as a sign,   the odd thing is Im sure ive seen him around before but I cant quite put a finger on it.

Maybe you just created the motivation for him to go buy a drone.

Possibly,    he said he'd been umming and erring about it for 15 years.  

Stunning shot, glad the spectator turned out to be ok

Wow, that is a long time to be mulling it over.  

Very nice capture!

I explained they had changed a lot in that time.    He came past the following day and stopped for another chat.   He had forgotten the IG address so I gave him a card.  I only have one left now so I must make some more.

Good way to drive more people to your IG site and cards are easy to print.

Ive been lucky and had a few lately picked up.

Indeed,  and people seem to forget the IG name too easily.  I gave SHMBOd the job today to print off a couple more sheets of cards which I'll cut up later.

That is nice indeed.
I now have my third channel monetized.
So the big bucks are coming in

Congrats Monty.   I saw your latest jam video this morning with the speaking and thought it was coming on nicely.

I'm starting to save for a Nikon Z6ii (or something similar) to replace my D750.
So with the current 3 channels together, I should have enough by 2030

Now that's a real team effort.  She prints and you cut.  I like it.

I have see that Nikon as been a bit innovative with their latest cameras which is nice to see.    Although Im very happy with my Canon 5dmk4 and Canon 70d IR cameras.

It got better,    whilst I was setting up the spit for the spit roast yesterday she did some cutting too.

YEah, I like the D750 for everything, but video lacks stabilization. So I want to upgrade mainly for that.
