Default Re: Large Poplar

Thanks guys

Not bad for a pomme baastard aye!!

Full credit to Nick (TW member) and Paddy for being so organised on the ground, lots of stuff coming down without a break. This was Nicks job BTW.

The gloomy weather makes the vid a little dark on the web which is a shame. Sure enough, the heavens opened not long after the trunk hit the floor, just as well we got stuck in from the word go!

RE: the main trunk. The idea was to position the camera as close to the landing zone as possible. The trunk finished only 1 foot short of this, so it worked out just right. I didn't pace it out or use any tricks, just intuition. Sometimes you just know!

Cheers

Reg
