Clearly I have too much time on my hands, but here’s a playlist of all my allotment videos that have made it onto YouTube. I’m sure that there are a few more out there that didn’t make it there, as there are a few big gaps in the chronology. If you have nothing better to do for over two and a half hours, feel free to watch!

Allotment Video Update 6th July 2013
The allotment so far this year has been about a very wet winter (which saw the demise of my early onion sets), and then very cold nights and late frosts. I think we’ve had cold nights well into June, which has made it really difficult to get plants established, and there hasn’t really been much to show, until now at least.

I used Pummelvision to convert my instagram feed into a short video. I seem to take a lot of dog photo’s!

One of the groups I belong to on Vimeo is the Weekend Project. Basically on a Friday (once or twice a month), I get sent an email with a challenge. If I have the time and the inspiration I take on the challenge and create a video. This weekends challenge can be found here.
In simple terms this is joining together a succession of still images to make a video. I took over 400 images on a Canon 500D to make my entry. I haven’t used them all because, believe it or not it was hard to get the whole thing under the 3 minute time limit (mine comes in at 2mins59secs!).
Although this is a competition, and I would love to win, there are some very talented videographers on Vimeo so the chances are slim, but you do have to be in it to win it, as they say. I use these challenges more to improve my skills, and learn new techniques and I’ve learnt a lot from this weekends challenge. I was using a relatively new camera, that I’m not that familiar with, plus this has stretched my editing skills (or perhaps just the editing software).
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy. I’m rather proud of the end result.

Allotment Update 11th April 2010
Trying to catch up with work on the allotment after not being able to do much with a bad back. Wrong time of the year to have to neglect things, just as temperatures rise and everything (especially the weeds) starts to grow.
