A zoomed in close up on ducks in the Potomac River
I like to film locations near the Potomac River in Northern Virginia. For example, the waterfront is scenic. I like to see through the camera the rippling water and the distant lands. An advantage to filming near the Potomac River is the peacefulness.
Additionally nearby amenities can create for a good clip. I like to shoot the trail and capture the image of modern day America, as seen from a bipod stabilizing the camera. Showcasing the liveliness of people and the civilization is fun. Also, Real Estate can be easier to show the uniformity of a tract.
Next I proceed to walk and explore the expanse while keeping ready the camera for an opportunity. This could be a well kept neighborhood, such as Belle View. Then the area is traversed to see the Real Estate, amenities, geography, and so on. The more shots captured, the better luck at a video with replay value.
Combining a series of short clips into a short video is relaxing. In hindsight, say years later, it can be amazing to see what once was and what is the current view of the land, as of today. Rewatching a video can help to understand what might have been missed on the first walk through. A published video is nice to watch.
