Saturday working of the Tinsley Yard stone train at Broughton Lane Jn. - 129Mby MP4 video
** This is a 1m video, so can be viewed to the full in the Flickr interface, the limit now being 10 minutes ...
Having shot a video of a passenger charter, 'The Luca Pezzulo Express', B.L.S Charter from Lancaster to Hull via Stocksbridge Works which, remarkably, came all the way up the Stocksbridge Branch to the Ellen Wood Sidings for this first ever time, on Saturday 24th July, see-

and having had a job holding both the EOS DSLR, focusing, pressing the shutter _and_ attempting to start a video, but selecting he wrong orientation at the last second, on my Samsung S7E whilst pointing it in the same direction, _all_ without dropping the phone and making a mess of the stills, produced only an average result. There was clearly a case for having the phone mounted atop the DSLR so all the above problems could be overcome and today, equipped with a 'hot-shoe' mobile phone holder, the results were much better and I had remembered NOT to attempt to shoot the video in portrait mode, which is what was done on July 24th. No reason to use portrait mode either, other than a concern for being able to keep hold of the phone much more easily in that orientation than in landscape mode but now, this is taken car of by the holder... its well made, small and light and cost 15 quid... much better than risking dropping the phone, over a fence and into goodness know what sort of accessible or not, environment!
So this is the first go at using the holder, and its not bad at all, the 1 minute passage of the Bardon Stone train from Tinsley Yard, heard before it comes into sight, and coming down the Broughton Lane Bank with GBRf class 66, 66775, F231, 'H.M.S. Argyll' on the 6M01, Tinsley Yard to Bardon Hill empties return via Sheffield Midland station; shame no trams came through whilst this was happening, though frequent, a 1 minute view isn't enough for that...
