Thanks 🔥

Thanks. I used a standard camera and a drone (details in the Description). The Ruskin Island shots were filmed from a boat.

Thanks. Noted

Thanks!

There is an Information Desk at the front of Saturday Good Market. They will give you all the info you need.

The present entrance for vehicles going to the beach is near the roundabout. Earlier the entrance was through Chaitya Road near the rear end of the Ritzbury. Push bikes, motor cycles and three wheelers are not allowed in.

@@srilankavideos6105 Thank you....

Sorry, the KINGSBURY, not the Ritzbury! This is not the first time I have made this confusion!

@@srilankavideos6105 thanks for the update !

Thanks. The smooth panning/tilt movements were not achieved manually. For the first and second pan/tilt shots I used a DJI Ronin gimbal set to a very slow panning/tilt speed with the gimbal mounted on a tripod. The second pan shot was filmed with the camera fitted with a telephoto lens mounted on a special panning device (Syrp Genie Mini ii), which in turn was mounted on the tripod. Though I didn’t do it in this case, the Genie Mini ii should be mounted on a video/ball head to allow tilting. I don’t think it’s possible to achieve this level of sustained smoothness by panning manually with a video head however steady your hands may be.

@@srilankavideos6105 Thanks for the answer! If you watch National Geographic films or any sports broadcast, most of the panning there was and is being filmed with mechanical video heads. Electronic devices appeared quite recently, and before that, for decades, everything was filmed exclusively with mechanical stabilizers, tripods, sliders.

@@snyatoe If you are filming a sports event or animals in motion I don’t think there is any alternative to manual panning and tilting with a mechanical device such as a video head.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Glad you appreciate it. I did put in a lot of time and labour to make this video, which, however, has not yet been rewarded by the number of views. 😢

@@srilankavideos6105 Sometimes good videos are missed my most viewers. I am sure the views will grow in time to come. You have put in lot of effort to create it. From where did you get all the details. Just curious ...

@@mytravelsthroughthelens My sources included: 1. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. 2. Their media division, with whom I corresponded. 3. Some other websites. 4. War Graves register. 5. Information gathered from my personal inspection of the cemetery (e.g., the number of headstones in each plot). The photographs used not relating to the Jawatte cemetery were all in the public domain.

@@srilankavideos6105 Thank you so much for your detailed reply.! I plan to visit the jawatte cemetery and also the other ones in Kandy and in Borella

Then you have good taste in music. It's a classical piece called "The Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner. I hope one day to do a longer (and slower) version of the drive.

Thanks, Deva.
