Month: August 2015

  • Broadcasting Cricket

    There are two stories worth talking about in the world of broadcast cricket – a subject I’m only marginally less interested in than in broadcasting football. (See this recent piece for example.) First of all, Jonathan Agnew interviewed the ECB’s Chief Executive Tom Harrison last Thursday during lunch in the final Ashes Test. There is…

  • How Should Spotify Pay For Its Music?

    Yesterday I got into a bit of a discussion with James Cridland on Facebook about the rights and wrongs of how services like Spotify distribute their revenues. And I thought it was worth sharing and expanding on some of my thoughts on the matter. This comes off the back of a Medium piece from Sharky…

  • A Sheringham Timelapse

    Sheringham Timelapse from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. Here’s a timelapse shot in North Norfolk before Christmas around sunset on two consecutive days. Obviously I really needed to spend more time capturing material, but I thought it was worth putting this together. (In case it’s not obvious from some recent blogposts, I’m spending some productive time…

  • Light

    While I was in Ghent, I visited the Lightism exhibition, and took some photos. And here is the whole set (link):

  • Ghent

    Earlier in the year I visited Ghent and took some photos… And because it looks like Flickr has updated how you can embed albums, here’s the whole set (link here too):

  • Releasing a Soundtrack Album

    This is a small frustration, and quite possibly it’s specific to me, but why are record labels so tardy in releasing soundtrack albums. Everyone knows that for most films, the opening weekend is key. The largest number of people tend to see a film on its opening weekend, and in many instances, the film gets…

  • Folk by the Oak 2015

    I think the relaxed atmosphere and great music makes Folk by the Oak in the grounds of Hatfield House my favourite festival. And with both The Unthanks and Bellowhead on the bill this year, it was unmissable. Here are a few photos I took of this year’s event, with more over on Flickr.

  • Trent Park – Drone Footage

    Trent Park from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. I’ve been playing with my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced a little more. Things that I need to spend more time include optimising the video output for Vimeo (I’m using Premiere Pro CC’s “Vimeo 1080” setting here, but I’m not happy with it, and Vimeo says that I can…

  • Experiments in Slow Motion

    Experiments in Slow Motion from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. I’ve been meaning to playing a little more with the slow motion capabilities of my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact a little more. I’ve just put together this from video shot earlier in the year. Actually summer would be a much better time to be out playing…

  • Wells

    Taken a few months ago now.

  • Mistress America

    I think it must be a surfeit of summer super hero films, but I’ve not been to the cinema much recently. However a new Greta Gerwig film is always something to look forward to, so I decided to head out to see Mistress America. I thought it’d be nice to see it locally so I…

  • RideLondon

    A couple of weekends ago was the now annual RideLondon cycling festival in London. There are several strands to it, including: – FreeCycle – 10 miles of closed roads around central London for families in particular to pedal around – The Brompton World Championships – The RideLondon Grand Prix – Women’s professional circuit race –…
