A short 30 second edit of my flight on 19th July 2021 at approximately 3PM, at the beautiful St. Just in Roseland Church, on the Roseland Peninsula near to St. Mawes, Cornwall, filmed with my DJI Mavic Air 2S
I was shooting a wedding in the conservation village of Bothwell yesterday and the old parish church was just across the road. One of Scotland’s oldest churches, added to a previous Norman structure, it was built in 1398. Bothwell Parish Church, Bothwell - Mini 2 - 8.50pm, 24th July 2021
Ok maybe I’m pushing this a little as it isn’t a Church but more of a Chapel. Still thought it may be worth a share. It’s location is at Ingleton cemetery which is situated just below Ingleborough, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
As it is a Sunday the judging panel here at McMac Productions is running with a skeleton staff who have conferred long and hard on the Church/chapel debate. In this instance we are being lenient and allowing it, partly because it is a cracking image.
