No, I'm an amateur dronographer/Videographer. If you're interest is in the Dorset countryside, may I suggest you take a look at my other channel.... JP Dronography? There's lots of Dorset content there. Thanks for your comment.
I understand. There are two camps here. There's the rail enthusiasts like us. We know and love our trains. We really enjoy a locomotive sound working hard up a steep bank. What a wonderful sound. Then there's the tourist non-rail enthusiast that loves the countryside and the cows. Not particularly aware of the mode of transport they are riding on, but hey! what a lovely view! They have no interest in whether the engine that's pulling them is a class 5 or whatever. Those people switch off to enthusiast films. They want cinematography. They need to be carried through the production with music. BBC, ITV, Channel 4, you name it, do the same thing. In my opinion, although important, enthusiasts are not enough for viewing figures. Both camps support preserved railways. In COVID-19 we needed to up the precarious situation to both camps. Appeal to the enthusiasts and you only appeal to the enthusiasts. Appeal to the wider population, and you'll appeal to some of the enthusiasts as well. A wider audience. That's why, when you're trying to save a railway, that's got to come first. Then the specific interests of others come next. That is what has been done here. Appeal to the masses first. Hope that puts it into some sort of perspective. We didn't have much time to act to help save the SR in COVID-19 Rest assured, that when/if things return to normal, our priority for filming galas etc would be the enthusiast, and for that target audience the music would be dropped.

Are you a professional dronographer or do you do it as a hobby? Beautiful footage of our Dorset countryside (trains are quite nice too!)

Brilliant video, as it should have been from first posting, without that dreadful over-dubbed Muzak!
