[Ads209]

[andymooseman]

@Ads209 Believe me, it was damn cold making this video as well :)

[Bluewolf2028]

very nice

[andymooseman]

@Bluewolf2028 Thanks :)

The snow makes all the other colours look so vibrant.

[andymooseman]

I know what you mean & agree with you :)

[bundleHastings]

Thanks for uploading these. You have a good eye for a photo Andy

[andymooseman]

Thank you.

As you know, we live in a very photogenic town.

[OvErTrAiNiNg007]

This is actually amazing video!!

[andymooseman]

Thanks, i'm pleased you thought so.

[lindasko]

Oh, Andy, that was BEAUTIFUL!!!

I've never seen a video of this type from you (if you've posted them, I've missed them - I'm not all that consistent on YT). That was just lovely!

[andymooseman]

Thanks.

I have done photo videos before, usually of the beach etc.

Andy:

Nice work - brings back from childhood memories. Pls do the online world a favor and film Winchelsea and Rye - two of UK's loveliest towns - under the snow.

Best regards

[andymooseman]

Thanks.

I have filmed both Rye & Winchelsea before, but not in the snow i'm afraid. I agree that they are both lovely towns though.

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

You've got some real stunning shots in there. Amazing what a coating of snow can do to the landscape. Beautiful stuff!

[andymooseman]

Thanks & you're so right about the effect a few inches of snow can have. It totally transforms a town, or landscape.

ANDY!!! I love this! Beautiful work, my friend. So incredibly inspiring. Honestly, you need to do your own photo BOOK! Loved your name written in the snow at the end. Very fitting!

So glad to be going on this photographic journey with you. :)

[andymooseman]

Thanks Gary, i appreciate your words.

Getting all of these great comments, the magazine cover etc, are certainly inspiring to me as well.

Can you believe i actually left that magazine cover shot out of this video? Doh!

I'm coming round to that book idea. if only as a gift for friends & family. My parents were very impressed with the calendar.

I think for a few of us here, our photos are inspiring each other to do better, in the same way that our videos used to :)

[PappyStu]

For some reason after the past two very brutal winters we are having a VERY mild one so far.... GO FIGURE

kewl pics buddy

[andymooseman]

Thanks Pappy.

...And we seem to have gone the other way. After several warmer winters, the past couple have seen more snow than we've had for years.

As you said, "go figure"

[Pippilly]

Fabulous sharp photographs Andy. I really liked the one at 1:10

Almost looks like it was black and white and you colorized the boats. I liked your name in the snow ; )

[andymooseman]

Thanks Pip.

All i ever do to my photo's is, crop them if needed, sharpen them up a little & possibly enhance the colour slightly. nothing more. i don't like "playing" with them. I prefer them to be as natural as possible.

I couldn't resist writing my name in the snow. After all, the snow seems to bring out the child in us all doesn't it? :)

[popebenadict16]

funicular

[andymooseman]

LOL Great comment Stuart :)

[GreatGig1]

Beautiful! I always love seeing the snow, but I don't like digging out of it...lol

[andymooseman]

I agree. And i also don't like it when it starts to thaw, as it has done here now & turns all slushy!

[1DRock37167]

It does make everything look very pretty:-)

[andymooseman]

It sure does Daryl.

[ebiannah]

Penguin slide! With snow.  So rocks!!!!

[andymooseman]

It was certainly perfect weather for penguins.

[alastairdevaux]

Stunning pictures Andy, plus the piano suits to a T

[andymooseman]

Thanks.

I've used that same music for a similar video before. i was going to try & find something new. But, that fitted so well, i decided against it.

[Perroquet51]

Gorgeous photos, Andy. I especially loved the beach photo at :35 and all of the boat and ship photos.

[andymooseman]

Thanks Marc. You're the second person who has picked out that pic at 0:35 :)

[Ranblv]

Now that is a full calendar!

[andymooseman]

As i said to Curt. I have already thought of a couple that i can submit to next years Vloggerhood claendar :)

[JackDickolson]

Really good photos!

[andymooseman]

Thank you :)

[jrsnyderjr]

quite different than the usual look of Hastings!

[andymooseman]

Exactly & that's why i went out of my way to walk there & take some photo's.

I know everywhere looks different in the snow. But, i just knew that would look a bit special & i was right :)

[petuniabelle650]

Just beautiful. I'd like to have the scene at :035 as my desktop background! Does the bottom of the sign with Blackbeard on it say "He who gets shot?" LOL

I think you could make a calendar all on your own, Andy.  I love the signature at the end. I kept wondering what the sea gulls think of the snow. :)

[andymooseman]

is that the photo of the pier with the pebbles in front?

Send me your email address & i'll happily send it to you. Thanks for asking.

You're right about the Blackbeard sign btw.

As for the seagulls. they seemed quite subdued during the snow. Maybe they don't like it? :)

[OhCurt]

More evidence that there needs to be another calendar for next year too.

[andymooseman]

Thanks for the vote of confidence Curt.

Funnily enough i was only thinking earlier that i might keep a couple of these in mind for next years calendar :)

[twish1999]

great photos Andy!

[andymooseman]

Thanks Twish :)

[RobElliottMusic]

Aw! you could have made the 'Andy' in the snow yellow at least. ha!  always a challenge!

Great photo's sir. Keep warm :)

[andymooseman]

LOL I'm not sure my aim is that good Rob.

I'm also not sure i'd want to expose my extremities in that cold weather either. Ouch!

[MrRandomWritings]

I remeber when I lived in Blackpool it was very rare to see snow on the beach - or at all really.

[andymooseman]

Snow on the beach is pretty rare. Which is why i waste no opportunity to go & film it.

[BarryAldridge]

These are wonderful photos Andy.

I love the music too.

[andymooseman]

Thanks Barry, glad you like them.

I've used this piece of music before & think it fits this type of video perfectly. Mr Macleod is a very talented & useful man.
