You may have noticed I haven't posted on <a href="https://jduck1979.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">this BlogSpot/Blogger thing</a> lately, and there is a reason for that.<br />
<br />
It's mostly because I've moved back to my old wordpress blog on the paid webhosting due to monetisation issues on here (Adsense quit showing), so I'm using my old john-duck.co.uk wordpress blog modified to run on my other domain name jduck1979.co.uk<br />
<br />
I'll probably post here again occasionally (if I remember), but for new stuff <a href="http://blogs.jduck1979.co.uk/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for my main personal blog.<br />
<br />
There are others I tinker with too under assorted brand names I've had a crack at creating.<br />
<br />
I'm not doing that much blogging on them (but trying to), but been doing a load of work on the back-end to try build them up for the future.</div>

<br />
After an assortment of disruptions that mean't having to hold off on my editing and uploading, I've finally got round to uploading the things in January 2019.<br />
This first one went live on 14th January, and features the Inferno Dawn map, which was one of my favourites until the game was ruined a bit by the Panorama UI update that made the game look too happy-clappy for the sort of game it's mean't to be. <br />

<br />
This 2nd video went live today, and is set in another of my favourite maps, named 'Shoots'. From what I remember, the game didn't get off to the greatest of starts, but I eventually ended up getting one of my best scores for a while in the game somehow.<br />

Still not as good as the footage as I got back in 2016, as I couldn't get a decent position in the scrum assembled on the pier to watch up close, and had to basically stretch my arm up as high as I could with the camera pointed in roughly the right direction, not really being able to see the tilt viewscreen on the camera because it was in a position I couldn't really see it without burning out my retina's from staring in the direction of the Sun.

The first of my video clips from the 2018 Whitby Regatta has been released onto my YouTube channel, and it's of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GsqigYERpk" target="_blank">Raft Race</a>. Another low participation effort this year (2 Rafts), and the footage doesn't really pick up until after they cross the finishing line.<br />

<br />
Back on 6th July 2018 there was a "Captain Cook 250" event in Whitby with a replica of Captain Cook's ship recently <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Endeavour#Replica_vessels" target="_blank">acquired from Stockton</a>, and a couple of tall ships sailing into the harbour.<br />

<br />
It just about finished me off getting into position to get the footage, and after many delays I've finally got footage cobbled together into <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW3Zt60OpsA" target="_blank">something I could upload</a> to YouTube and (eventually) <a href="http://video.jduck1979.co.uk/" target="_blank">my other video channels</a> as appropriate.jduck1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/05290521247690463028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660276449777150800.post-26053645428614260672018-08-01T14:24:00.000-07:002018-08-01T14:24:56.608-07:00Whitby Snow 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Back in January 2013 I shot a video of a snow weather event in my local area, then stitched the clips together into a full video that I uploaded to YouTube, and it has sinced notched up over 10,000 views.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a long wait to see enough snow again round here to be able to film the sequel, but on 27th February 2018, it finally happened.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It's taken me a while to get round to editing the footage (31st July / 1st August), but now it's finally up (see above, or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XnNzRLOPUE" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to view it on my YouTube Channel).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeAZilRwwgs" target="_blank">the original snow vid</a> is still uploaded, as well as a less well viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k2o1cl55nU" target="_blank">prequel</a> to it from 2010.</span><br />

Lately I've been trying to remember when I last got to have a "Lemon Bun", somewhat a traditional staple of Northern English bakeries, and it's close cousin the "Lemon Finger Roll" (basically the same idea but more in the shape of a hot dog bun).<br />
<br />
Basically it's like a sweet Bread roll / Fruit Teacake with sultana's in it, and a big dollop of lemon flavoured white icing on top. Used to get them all the time from <a href="https://www.botham.co.uk/" target="_blank">Botham's bakery</a> in Whitby delivered to the <a href="http://ducks-ruswarp.co.uk/" target="_blank">family grocery store</a> (TV chef James Martin is also apparently a big fan of these too), while in other bakery chains dotted around Yorkshire (e.g. <a href="https://cooplands-bakery.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cooplands</a>?) I remember seeing more elongated versions, and I think same too over in Lancashire when I was a kid and my Grandparents took me over that way for Holidays around Blackpool / Morecambe / Lancaster / Lake District in Cumbria, etc.<br />
<br />
Starting this post has also got me thinking about other products from the same place I don't seem to often enough these days such as the Butter Bun + the <a href="https://www.botham.co.uk/bakery/chocolate-japs-bothams.html#SID=14" target="_blank">Chocolate Jap</a> (still get stuff delivered in from Botham's, but my Dad seems to go easy on the range to save wastage).<br />
<br />
The Butter bun is basically a sweet bread roll that's been slashed open, had a generous dollop of buttercream stuffed in it, then had a generous dusting of icing sugar.<br />
<br />
The Chocolate Jap, is like 2 biscuits that kind of remind me a little of a <a href="http://amzn.to/2sH0PW1" target="_blank">Farley's rusk</a> that've been sandwiched together with a generous coating of chocolate buttercream, then liberally covered in chocolate sprinkles.... they're really messy to get hold of, but taste so good.<br />

<br />
These range from things like Tech Reviews to DIY Electronics + Prank Shows, some of which are better than mainstream shows like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadle%27s_About" target="_blank" title="Beadle's About (TV Series - Youtube)">Beadle's About</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candid_Camera" target="_blank" title="Candid Camera (TV Series)">Candid Camera</a> managed to pull off.<br />
<br />
There seems to be more & more people wanting to have a crack at it (not just because you can earn money online by Youtubing), but not quite sure how to get started, so lets see what I can do to help..........<br />
<br />
The first thing you'll need is a camera. It doesn't have to be anything too special, but basically helps if you use pretty much any camera made in the last 7yrs or so that's capable of recording in 720p or 1080p High Definition (HD).<br />
<br />
A Digital SLR Camera (DSLR) or a "Bridge" camera is likely to be too big & heavy to lug around if vLogging (video blogging) on the move like Roman Atwood (and others) do on a regular basis, and you're best off with either a Digital Compact camera, or a small handheld video camera such as from the Sony Bloggie range, and their equivalents from other manufacturers such as Panasonic.<br />
<br />
A proper camcorder such as my Panasonic is acceptable and not too bad to carry around with you all day too (and the quality is quite stunning).<br />
<br />
My long time favourite for digital compact cameras is Fujifilm, but last time I looked it appeared they'd slimmed their range down to a selection of "Bridge" cameras + some very expensive compact system cameras with interchangable lenses. They've got exceedingly good colour reproduction qualities though.<br />

<br />
The next stage (assuming you've already set-up your youtube account), is to shoot some video.... that's easy enough, just point the camera at want you want to film, and press the record button, etc.
<br />
<br />
After that, you'll probably want to edit the video, and for that you'll need video editing software. Some of this you can get for free (e.g. Windows Movie Maker), other higher end software can end up costing you as much as the camera did. If you're a Mac user, you'll probably be using iMovie. For Windows users like myself, my current personal favourite is Corel VideoStudio Pro X5, which has been succeeded by a number of newer versions, it's up to VideoStudio Pro X8 now I think. You can buy it either as a standalone product, or bundled together with my favourite photo editing software Corel Paintshop Pro X*.<br />
<br />
Editing isn't really too complicated if you've never done it before, it's basically just a matter of dropping the video file onto the timeline at the bottom of the software, and adding the various bits & bobs like captions as and where needed.<br />
<br />
When you've finished editing, you'll need to save the finished video file, then wait for it to start rendering. This may take a while, and it helps if you've got a fair bit of RAM installed in your computer..... it'll do it, but very slowly if you've got the minimum 2GB of RAM needed to run Windows... and it's best to have at least 4GB of RAM installed, and perhaps even make use of Windows ReadyBoost.<br />
<br />
Once done, you can then start uploading the video to Youtube. This also takes what feels like forever. While that's in progress you can add a video title, keyword tags, opt to monetise the vid (if you've enabled that) + put a place tag on a map to show where you shot it (though you may want to give that a miss in some circumstances).<br />
<br />
And that's get you started Youtubing, I hope.

A very tall man with strange hair was seen in a tent in Whitby on Wednesday, which could only mean one thing........... new Amazon Prime show "The Grand Tour" was here filming with Jeremy Clarkson, James "Captain Slow" May + Richard "Hamster" Hammond.<br />

<br />
Basically most of them appear to be looking for a 6ft+ tall, Tattoo covered lager swilling moron who drives a BMW. This probably also explains why many women end up disappointed with men, as those characteristics they're looking for also match all the signs of someone who has a very microscopic penis.<br />
<br />
It's also why I've gotten kinda sick of their attitudes, and grown to like American women much better, as they show far more interest.<br />
