Once again the forecast was
not too conducive for sea kayaking as we know it: the wind was to blow up to 30
knots!
I didn’t have any specific
destination in mind and no major crossing to tackle, so I resorted to have some
fun with my kayak sail again.
What could have been a
rather tedious slog paddling in a stiff breeze turned out to be a fun filled
afternoon of zipping up and down the gentle wind waves.
I only wished that the
tidal flow would have opposed the wind direction, to create a bit bumpier
conditions :-)

Supernice video effects!
ReplyDeleteHopefully next blog update explains how that was done.
ReplyDeleteTrained seagull?
I would but I forgot to document it.
DeleteIt's much simpler than you think: real-time Google Earth satellite imagery algorithm composite video :-)
Just like a magic trick I don't want to reveal how it's done or it looses its, ahem... magic?
but the seagull is a good idea, except for the poop
I've figured out how anyway.
DeleteWorked out what was going on and verified it with Google :)
Gets great results on a kayak, I can see it catching on amongst kayak movie makers.
should I assume "seagull training" becoming a trend? until RSPCA gets drift of it....
DeleteExcellent video Gnarlydog! congratulations! a big hug from the other side of the world, Venezuela

Very cool video! I still don't get how you got the camera to do as you wished. Telepathy? I'll have to have a chat with mine!
ReplyDeleteyou got me there BF: it is the "power" of my head, but not as you think :-)
DeleteBrilliant!:o)
ReplyDeleteI love your playground and your angles, they are mysterious...and i wonder how how:) hehe:))
ReplyDeleteTake care!

Nice one Gnarly - armchair sea-kayaking from the North West UK and yes the virtual camera perspective is grrrrreat ! On the cusp of buying a code zero FEKS only the uk weather is a turn off right now at single figure temperatures
ReplyDeleteOK. Just how did you get those video effects? Camera mounted on propeller beanie?

the propeller beanie was actually used, but to inflate my sail :-)
DeleteAs above amazed by the video effects. Beats the usual camera position showing part of the bow or the paddlers back.
