London Fireworks 2012 New Years Eve - From Hyde Park

Serpentine Rd, City of Westminster, London W2, UK

Happy New Year !,
In My First post of 2012 I offer you an alternative view of the New Years Eve London Firework display from the banks of the Serpentine in Hyde Park London from December 2011 - January 1st 2012, marking the start of 2012 and the year London hosts the Olympic Games.
We left for London at 9pm on 31st December and wouldn't be back till 2012 !.
After driving around central London scouting potential locations we settled on Hyde Park and the banks of of the serpentine giving a unique perspective on the nights proceedings.
As 12 o'clock approached and the last few minutes of 2011 became history the low level cloud was illuminated by a light show emanating from the London eye, we watched the seconds count down, then on the stroke of midnight and with a roar of approval from the now crowded serpentine bridge, the sky erupted in a display of colours with nods toward the Olympic rings and accompanied by a sound track of oooos and ahhhs !.
The display lasted for 11 minutes and my video features just a small part of the whole event. Happy New Year and keep visiting leigh984.blogspot.com

Early Morning at Bradgate Park

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

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.
