Spotlight : Mountain Of Legends - The Untersberg



Spotlight : In the second of this regular feature I`m highlighting my video The Untersberg - Mountain Of Legends, I filmed this video as part of my day trip to Salzburg (see my post Salzburg In A Day ).
The mountain straddles the border between Berchtesgaden, Germany and Salzburg, Austria and has a cable car running up to its peak.
On boarding the cable car we were instantly plunged into a complete white-out fearing that the trip had been a waste of time we where thankfully proved very wrong as the clouds parted to reveal a sight unsurpassed in its beauty, words cannot do justice to one of the most moving natural vistas I`ve ever experienced the Alps stretched out before me truly took my breath away (that or the freezing temperatures !), then as if trying to mask their beauty the clouds returned to veil the awesome scene. I did my best to capture the majesty of the area in the video above but nothing truly prepares you for this Legendary mountain its magnificence and I thoroughly recommend a visit.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
