Returning to the roots of my childhood, the quaint and picturesque village of Mordiford in Herefordshire, presented an opportunity to blend personal history with professional passion. Yesterday's visit wasn't just a trip down memory lane; it was a special filming session set against the dramatic and awe-inspiring backdrop of the River Lugg in full flood. Mordiford, the village that nurtured my early years and schooled me in the ways of the world, was about to be seen from an entirely new perspective – through the advanced technology of drones.
Utilising a variety of drones, including the agile FPV (First Person View) models, I embarked on a mission to capture the essence of Mordiford's stunning countryside. The countryside that holds not just a piece of my heart, but a canvas of natural beauty awaiting to be showcased from the sky. Each drone flight brought to life the vibrant greens of the landscape, the serene flow of the River Lugg, and the rustic charm of the village in ways that ground-level photography simply cannot match.
A significant highlight of the day was the opportunity to film the stables, a site currently under renovation. This particular site, with its rich history and ongoing transformation, symbolised the bridging of past and future, a theme that resonates deeply with my personal journey from a young village boy to a professional drone operator.
This blog post is an invitation to view Mordiford as never before – through my eyes and through the lens of my drones. The footage captured is more than just a collection of aerial shots; it's a homage to the village of my childhood, a showcase of the advancements in drone technology, and a testament to the breathtaking beauty of Herefordshire's countryside.
Stay tuned for the upcoming footage that promises not just to awe and inspire, but to bring a piece of Mordiford's soul into the homes and hearts of viewers everywhere. From the majestic flow of the River Lugg to the intimate nooks of village life, this is Mordiford through a drone's eye – a blend of heritage, natural beauty, and cutting-edge drone cinematography by Dronemaster Productions.
