    Experiments with Acrylic Ink and Water

    The other day I was drinking a cup of tea in one of those cafés where they provide the hot water, tea bag and milk separately. I let the tea brew before stirring the milk in and was entranced by the smokey effect of the milk being stirred into the water. Then I went to…

  • Norfolk Coast

    Norfolk Coast

    Shot last week in North Norfolk near Sheringham and its golf club. The railway is the North Norfolk Railway, and the music is Erupting Light by Hildur Guðnadóttir.

    North Norfolk

    I spent a few days in Norfolk over Easter, and along with a few bits of video I shot prior to that, I made this video. The drone footage was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro, while the remaining footage was shot with a DJI Osmo Pocket. The accompanying photos were shot using the same…

    Photography Portfolio

    For those who are interested, I’ve just rebuilt my photography portfolio, which incorporates a bit of video and screen printing too. The link at the top now takes you to an exciting new page, adambowie.photography which has a much neater design asthetic. Yes, I’m using one of those new(ish) domains. And it should be full…

  • DJI Osmo Pocket: A Slow Motion Test

    Over Christmas I treated myself to a new camera – the newly released DJI Osmo Pocket. This thing is a wondrously small gimbal mounted camera, that I thought might be really interesting to carry with me on bike rides. This absolutely isn’t a proper review, since I’ve not had the device long enough. Instead, it’s…

  • Late Autumn

    I thought I’d try to get my drone up for the dying days of autumn before the leaves have fully gone and the cold settles in. So late afternoon on Saturday I captured some footage over Trent Park.  I was pretty satisifed with the results, and because I’m seeing Amiina on Sunday evening, I used…

  • Epping Autumn

    A lovely autumn day meant I could both go for a cycle ride and take the drone out flying. The results are above.

  • Cycle to Work

    This is a quick video I shot the other day of my ride to work. Shot with a cheap GoPro Hero 4 Session, I’ve run it through Microsoft’s Hyperlapse application. I’m not sure that app gets an awful lot of love, despite being really useful for making this kind of video. The stabilisation is immense,…

  • Empty Essex

    Empty Essex from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. Empty Essex is the name of ride in Jack Thurston’s excellent Lost Lanes book (NB. The first one. There have been two others since, for Wales and the West Country). The route starts in Southminster in Essex, heading out to Bradwell-on-Sea and past the St Peter-on-the-Wall chapel on…

  • Dimanche à Vélo

    Dimanche à vélo from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. From last Sunday, trying out a different way to mount my Garmin Virb Ultra 30. I’m not completely convinced that I wouldn’t be better off with a high end GoPro rather than this, although it does let you add data overlays to video very easily. Inevitably, the…

  • Ride to Cambridge

    Saturday was a nice day for a ride. Cambridge Ride from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. And via Relive, here is the route I took. Relive ‘Ride to Cambridge’
