Fresh from my oven – The Wedding of Kervin and Brinda…
.
Now this took a long time to bake.
.
You see a couple of weeks prior to his wedding in November last year, my couz Kervin asked me if I could film it with a drone for him and I immediately agreed… on the eve of his wedding however, while chatting at a gathering at his place, I told him that I would give the raw drone footage to his videographer so that they can include it in their wedding film… and much to my surprise, he told me that I would be the only videographer at the venue as he had only hired photographers and not videographers
.
It was late at night, and he was getting married the very next day…
.
I got home that night and charged every camera and drone batteries I had and decided I would try to do my best to give him a proper wedding film. I couldn’t hire an aid for that day either as everything was going to be my gift to him, so I went in with tripods.
.
Imagine juggling with two drones and 3 cameras – two on tripods and one handheld. so I had some cameras fixed and running, while I was operating the drone, I had to run around and move the cameras and fiddle with the settings every now and then. My main camera even went face down once because there was quite a lot of wind and a very kind guy caught it the second time it was blown away – fortunately there was no damage. There really was quite a bit of wind that day. The organizers even lost a flat TV that day (you can see it down on the ground for the opening shot) it was hectic. I finally resolved myself to hold the camera in hand for the rest of the event and lay it at my feet to operate the drone. In the end I had to make do with whatever I had managed to gather. Furthermore, I had to leave early and didn’t stay for his reception as it was a Friday and Sabbath was starting at Sunset but I got enough footage of the actual wedding ceremony.
.
And since the cameras were running during much of the wedding, it means I had loads of footage to review. I did tell my couz that I was very busy and couldn’t tend to his film right away and that he would have to chase me until such a time as I am available to do his thing.
.
And it turns out, I was actually very very busy over the past 5 months. lots of fights to take care of, draining much of my time, lots of unforeseen circumstances but last week I came up with a sharp pain in the back. I think the way I lifted my cat when he was at an arms length caused a strain in some muscle in my back and I could hardly lift my right hand without excruciating pain in the left shoulder cap for about 3 days… I am getting as much bed rest as I can at the moment…
.
So I had to pause every physical activity, and even typing on my laptop for a while… I tried however to edit on my tablet and that seemed to work… my seating arrangement for working on my tablet was more comfy… so I loaded up all the videos from November 24th and got to work… Friday during the day and Saturday after Sabbath from 19h until 09h this morning – and was happy with the result…
.
Unfortunately, for some reason YouTube blocked the video because of the Wedding March I had used which was performed by an orchestra and was copyrighted… which surprised me because Mendelssohn, the author died more than a 150 years ago and usually copyright expires 50 years after the author’s death… but anyway… I was too tired to do anything about it… I was waiting for the thing to upload and was getting excited to send the video to my couz, he didn’t know I was working on it… he had pinged me in January and in March and I apologized for being overwhelmed at both moments as I bid him to wait a bit more… and he was quite understanding… So I was very eager to send him the thing as a surprise… I filed a dispute to YouTube for fair use and youtube told me it would take 48 hours to be unblocked… so I went to sleep…
.
This afternoon however as I woke up, during the intense thunderstorm, I didn’t want to turn my laptop and screen on for long … so I was like… lemme turn everything off and go back to my ipad again – that gave me an opportunity to rework the video file and change the sound track to something uncopyrighted… Took me a few hours of work and I was finally able to send the link to my cousin… as youTube didn’t fuss with the new track…
.
The only regret is I couldn’t get to the see faces of my couz and his wife as they watched the video… that would have been gratifying … anyway… I guess I’ll content myself with sharing my work on my profile and reading your comments instead ;-)
.
Cheers ;-)

I had bought it from the UK and had it shipped to Mauritius... where btw you can't use the 5G capabilities of the phone, because Google 'has not released this functionality in my country' which is bloody ridiculous...
.
Anyway, I had to pay a little fortune to ship it out of our little island and do the procedure to 'send for repairs' so as not to pay VAT again at the customs when it comes back to me again...
.
That meant going to several offices, finding the best carrier to ship it a few days wasted investigating the options and I finally paid to have it shipped to the company i bought it from which liased with Google...
.
Google replaced the device and 20 days after sending the phone to them, I got the new one back... with just 1 battery cycle on it... Great I thought... Well, no. From day one it had EXACTLY the same problem as the device i had sent.
.
Now the company i bought it from, tells me i have no other choice but to pay again and send it back... saying that they have fulfilled their warranty obligations... So I'm supposed to take money from my pocket again - waste so much time again doing the procedure for shipment... then wait 20 more days, during which i will be deprived of my device, for what? To get yet another device from Google with the same problem yet again?!?!
.
This makes no sense to me.
.
Google should man up and compensate their customers who trusted them to get a good device, TWICE.. and not let the customer lost money to cover their mistakes... this is ridiculous!

.
So i played a couple of times yesterday even though i was plagued with allergies - which meant i had a blocked nose... so i couldn't sing very well and therefore didn't feel like recording me playing... but today even though I'm still suffering from a week long headache, I did have a clear nasal passage, which meant I could have another go at it and finally record it...
.
This was my second try today.... I had two more tries, but I started sweating - having turned the aircon off so that its constant hum does not to mess with the recording - and that meant less finger precision to create the chords... I'm already very imprecise... so I think this second try below was the best of what I got today...
.
I suppose I should probably try to do better next time 😉
.
Bref, this is a song I love singing in the shower... and I've always wanted to film me playing and singing it... and this evening i looked up the chords which were fairly easy AND I actually shaved just so i could film this... lol and then my lil cuz called and we had a long chat and I realised that it was soon going to be too late to play the guitar (ah the things we can't do when we live in a flat), so I did a couple of takes and just chose the last one...
.
Not too bad for a first try... what do you guys think? I may have botched the beginning and the end though... like i said, I haven't got a clue about strumming patterns yet... just going with whatever feels okay, lol...
.
This Sabbath, i invite you to join me in Prayer for little Eliza, 15 years old, who has been battling cancer for many months now... She has completed several sessions of chemotherapy in Reunion Island and is now halfway through painful sessions of radio therapy in France and has several more weeks of it before she can come back home in Mauritius...
.
Let us pray for Our Father's Mercy upon her, asking Him to fully rid her of the cancer and restore her health permanently ...
.
Highest Praises, Honour and Glory be unto our Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Sea and All that in them is, unto His son Yeshua HaMashiach and unto His Holy Spirit.
.
So be it,
Forever~

Hallellu-Yah

PIRE - a 15h27, arrivé a Port Louis, un des occupants de ma voiture arrive a capturer le chauffeur au téléphone alors qu'il conduisait sur l'autoroute.
.
Une policière du poste de police de Moka, ou j'ai enregistré une plainte, me dit qu'il s'aggissait d'un van de l'ADSU menant une opération, avec des accusés a bord...
.
Ce qui rend ce Road Rage, encore plus inacceptable... Je fais donc appel au Commissaire de la Mauritius Police Force, afin que des sanctions soient prises afin que ceux qui sont sensés nous protéger, n'occasionnent pas eux-mêmes des accidents sur la route de par leur propres frustrations. Je pense que nous avons assez de morts sur la route... Et nous avons memes des victimes parmi les policiers.
.
Cet incident aurait PU OCCASIONNER UN CARAMBOLAGE AVEC PERTE DE VIES HUMAINES!
.
Et j'espère aussi qu'il n'y aura aucune vengeance envers moi pour avoir dénoncé cet acte malveillant et illégal qui aurait pu occasionner un accident ... deux actes en fait - n'oublions pas l'utilisation du téléphone portable au volant...
.
La loi est pour tout le monde. Les policiers ne sont pas au dessus de la loi. J'espère que le commissaire de police prendra les mesures appropriées et j'espère aussi qu'il reviendra vers moi pour me tenir au courant des actions qui ont été prises. J'espère que ma plainte ne soit pas enfermée advitam-éternam au fond d'un tiroir.

It was short notice and time was even more limited due to the frequent torrential rain that we had, but I still managed to come up with this, just in the nick of time for the launch ceremony...
.
I cannot think of a better way to celebrate these achievements ;-)

This video is what was lost on my drone's SD card... now you tell me if it was worth paying Rs4189 to recover it ;-)
.
The video edit is BEST ENJOYED on HDR devices... it might look a bit darker, with a lesser blend of colours on normal screens... this is the first time I'm capturing a video in HDR with a drone...
.
The Almighty blessed me with such images on my very first meaningful capture with my newly purchased second hand drone... Praise Him with Great Praise...
.
I was just driving at the foot of the mountains, I couldn't see the sun from where i was, but the skies on either sides of the mountain looked pretty good... so I found a place to park and fired up the drone... Also, as you've guessed it, this is a sunset played in reverse ;-) for obvious reasons...
.
The video is in 21:9 format, also known as widescreen... Turn your phone sideways to enjoy it in full screen... I'm playing it on an HDR 21:9 ultrawide 34" screen - imagine the joy...
.
Of course this video wouldn't convey the feels if it weren't for Dulce Pontes's captivating voice singing "Your Love" on music by Ennio Morricone, for "Once upon a time in the west" that came out in 1968 ;-)

Music: Cover of "Emmenez-moi" from Charles Aznavour by Reuben Pillay
🇫🇷 Musique: "Emmenez-moi" de Charles Aznavour Interprétée par Reuben Pillay
.
Author's note:
I felt this song was very appropriate for the little lighthouse on top of Ile Plate, really feels like it's "Au bout du monde" ... that, along with the words "Iles du Nord" from the song as well... and besides, I was actually singing this song on the Catamaran on the way to the islands... So i guess it was meant to be ;-)
🇫🇷 J'ai le sentiment que cette chanson est très appropriée, car le petit phare en haut de l'ile Plate donne vraiment l'impression d'être "Au bout du monde", ajoutons a cela le fait que les "iles du nord" soient mentionées également dans la chanson... et de toute façon, je me suis retrouvé a la chanter, sur le catamaran, en route vers les iles... du coup, l'utilisation de cette musique me semble très appropriée.
.
Did you notice how Flat island actually looks like an animal, may be an ancient prehistoric, very large animal, that is just lying down flat on the ground, looking towards Mauritius?
🇫🇷 Avez vous remarqué comment l'ile plate, ressemble a un animal, peut-etre un ancient animal préhistorique, très large, qui se couche a plat, regardant vers L'ile Maurice?
.
I Hope this video really takes you to the Land of Wonders, if it doesn't (and even if it does), do visit the website - it surely will, virtually!
🇫🇷 J'espère que cette video vous emmène vraiment au pays des merveilles,si ce n'est pas le cas, (et mème si ça l'est), visitez le site web, vous y serez vraiment - virtuellement!

So I fixed the issue with the new mic this morning - It now works flawlessly... so I re-recorded it ;-) Now it sounds a bit more clean ;-)
.
This was not meant to be posted as such, there is one video that's coming up shortly that will feature this song as background ...
.
I am hoping this is a first 'clean' cover out of many more to come ...
.
Cheers,

This is one of my Favourite old french songs, by Charles Aznavour... I wanted to use the original song as background music on my next video, but then figured i should attempt to sing it myself...
.
Usually I record my audios with either my Ipad Pro M1 or my Pixel 7 Pro phone... but this time i decided to get myself what I thought would be a better microphone, so this past week I bought myself the the Maono Au-A04, a USB condensor Mic...
.
However when I am recording with it, there seems to be some 'grincements' (squeaking?) when I raise my voice.... I originally thought the audio was clipping, so I played with the audio input levels. I'm recording using the Audacity program and there seems to be only one control: the level slider... So I've decreased that to 60% then 40% and finally saw myself going all the way down to 10%... but the problem was still there...
.
This however does not happen with my Pixel 7 Pro.... In the video below, the first recording is fromthe phone and there is no 'grincements'... I'm actually quite happy with it... However as from the 03:33 minute mark, the second video is recorded using the Maono mic at 10% and not very close to me, and you can immediately see the sound is less good...
.
Now both of these voice recordings were recorded at the same time... my phone at the rear, and the maono in front, and only the voice was recorded... I overlaid the Karaoke music in the edit afterwards... so no music was recorded.
.
Is there any way to make it better? I looked into the windows sound parameters but there doesn't seem to be any additional setting i can fiddle with...
.
I'm thinking may be my mistake here was to think i could use this microphone for singing... since it's clearly written 'podcasting' on the box 😅 ... i didn't pay attention to this while purchasing... may be it doesn't have a high range between lows and highs? IDK.... So what do you advise?

I was coming back from a lengthy flight, had just enough juice left in the battery to do a quick pass through the local gate before turning around for hand catching.

Calin time from a couple of nights ago... it's a race between Fifi and Loulou as to which one of them will get the calins... because they don't suffer each other's presence on my lap... it should be one by one... Fifi got it last night, Loulou went on the other sofa, sulking...
.
So we're watching tv while I'm petting her and suddenly she froze... Fifi.exe stopped responding... Mom had the time to go get one of my phones from my room and she was still looking catatonic...
.
She got me my Xiaomi, and I told her to get the Pixel Pro instead to get better quality... so I filmed this while mom got the second phone instead... but she snapped out of it before I could film it with the second phone...
.
I sure hope there isn't smth wrong with her... she did that again tonight - may be she's just feeling sleepy or smth... cause she's peachy during the day, jumping everywhere, making a mess, and hissing when you give her little slap on the poum after she's made a mess...
.
I wish i had enough dough so i could spend the rest of my life capturing footage like that from all over the island...
.
Music is from LotR 😉
.
Make sure you load the 4k version - Give YouTube some time to process it - and do rotate your phone - those who have HDR screens, it should look a tad better - first time saving in HDR10.
.
This is the first of many trials to come 😉

They took off from the western coast of Australia on the 11th of May and reached Mauritius on the 19th of July… This video documents their arrival in Mauritius. The first portion of the video starts with some footage gathered in very windy conditions, between the Gunner’s Coin Island and the northernmost point of Mauritius Island, Cap Malheureux…
.
It wasn’t until 4 hours later that they actually made it into the bay of Grand Bay, more precisely, at the Grand Bay Yacht Club (GBYC), where their families and friends were eagerly waiting for them… Since the sea was very rough and the currents strong, the Mauritian authorities dispatched a Coast Guard vessel to accompany them, from a distance, on the last leg of their journey… Arrangements were also made to have Health Officials and Passport and Customs officers to wait for them at the GBYC to process their entry into the island.
.
Thanks to my well-connected friend Sakina, I was put in contact with a journalist in Australia and was thrilled to volunteer to cover their arrival to our Island… This video is therefore my meager contribution to the cause… Enjoy and share – and don’t forget to visit Mauritius Virtually on my website ;-)

So yesterday (first image was posted on facebook) I showed you one way to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, using a star trail integration of some 2000 images taken a couple of nights ago... well here's another way, using the same images 😉
.
Turn on your speakers as well and make sure to check out this very talented artist on YouTube... her name's on screen 😉

And as usual, for my birthday, I am working on a little gift for you all, which was duly paused during the past 24h to make way for the Sabbath according to the 4th commandment... and I've just resumed working on it... I shall reveal it to you all in the afternoon on the 11th, God willing...
.
In any case, my prayer to the One True God, for myself this new year of my life is quite in line with the words of this worship song playing along on this video... I had actually prepared this video a couple of months back and have been eagerly waiting for this day to share it with you all...
.
Have a wonderful week ahead peeps and see you during day time for the big reveal ;-)

The Almighty KNOWS how to make me happy... turns out I got a new device today, and I had just started to test its timelapse mode... au pied levé comme ça literallement quelques minutes avant que le contrail ne commence...
.
L'appareil etait bien orientée et a tout capté :3 Thank you Father! Completely unexpected... It's like it happened just for me :3
.
So here is the resulting timelapse along with some other photos and videos taken with my Xiaomi phone...
.
And btw, Contrails are just "CONdensation trails" ... read more about this here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail
.
Cheers,

I've never really enjoyed watching sports on TV ... but if there's one thing i can't get enough of, it's Kitten Wrestling... these two bundles of joy here are full of energy and will delight you with their epic moves.
.
This was filmed over the past couple of days in the last light of day... this is the daily scene here... the activity they enjoy most during their 4h of outside play time - if I'm sitting there with them - is most definitely wrestling... If I'm not there it's another story, they'll explore a bit unhindered... and then come and sit by the window... some times i find fifi sitting in the safety of her cage, even if the door is wide open...
.
But when I'm there, it's like they do not need to keep watch, they'll allow themselves to play freely, cause Daddy is watching... and that's when I get to capture these sheer moments of fun...
.
I reckon such playful games are anchored in their primal instincts... They are roughly 3 months old now, but they've been playing like that since I got them at 6 weeks or so... I guess such instincts allows kittens to develop all their skills they will one day need to hunt their prey and defend themselves from predators... and make no mistake, even it they are seen to bite, it's all 'pretend'... if ever one presses too hard the other one will make a little sound and he will stop...
.
This here is the reason I never wanted to separate them... I had rescued 3 of them, sadly little Riri passed away from Pneumonia, despite all the good efforts of my friend the vet... but even when there were 3 of them, after posting pictures of them right here I did receive a few calls for adoption, but most of the people reaching out wanted only Loulou... I guess cause he really is a pretty kitten... nobody wanted the other two... and I didn't want to deprive them of each other... they had just lost their mom, at least they had each other...
.
Which is why i kept them and now, I cannot see myself parting from them... they're family now...
.
So yeah, you guessed right, since this is Episode One, I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of opportunity to make more of those ;-) So Stay tuned ;-)

Today was my 17th flight and I must say I am getting better at controlling it... ... so I surprised myself by doing something that up to now, I only dared to do within the safety of simulators... of course I've done that plenty of times virtually... never in real life...
.
Or rather, never through such small apertures... I've gone beneath a bridge before - oh yeah I haven't published that one... Soon may be ;-)
.
So here's the very first needle double-threading followed by a smooth turn to showcase the needle and ending with a celebratory dance ;-) All in Manual/Acro mode, of course...
