Reflections... and celebration
Reflections after completing an intense NAS Academy 7-day video challenge.
I don’t really know why I felt so introspective at the end of the challenge. I think I have been so invested in this challenge and the people I met there, that when it wrapped up I felt a bit of a loss. Doing the video helped me exorcise the feelings. I just hope it’s as meaningful to others as it is to me.
Thanks for watching!

Our well ran dry. $13,000 later...

In 2022, the dug well in our Nova Scotia home ran dry. We needed to get a new one drilled quickly because the well served the entire household. Let me show you the story of our week-long drilling adventure. Special note: this is my first video made with DaVinci Resolve. (www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) Just learning, so please excuse any rough edges. I'll be working to make su...
A swollen Lower Branch of the LaHave River
Просмотров 352 года назад
The river behind our home (the Lower Branch of the LaHave River) gets swollen and fast when there's lots of rain. Fortunately there's a big elevation change between the house and the river, so we don't have to worry about flooding. derekcadzow.com
Drone: Flights 2 and 3

The second and third flights with my new drone went well. This time I used an ND filter (that fell off during flight) and a bit of post production on exposure and color.

Secrets of the Silver Spool

It was like meeting an old acquaintance you hadn’t seen in a long time: someone who reminds you of a different time and place and brings a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. It was among my late mother’s last possessions and I recognized it as soon as I saw it - derekcadzow.com/secrets-of-the-silver-spool/ Music (rights purchased for use in this video): Title: This is Dramatic Piano A...

Nice! 👍
Thanks Naomi... it's been getting a lot of positive comments -- also on my Atlantic Destinations channel.
@@DerekCadzow Yay!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Awesome but sad at the same time. Miss you guys big time!!
Brian, we miss Nova Scotia and having you come and visit too!
can remember the hot summer there was a water shortage and the cafe and pub charged 6d for a glass of water it was great time we all camped up a small hill by a grave yard .i remember going back home to paisley to get some money from the bank tsb and go back in a few hours. no bank cards then.
A byegone era ❤❤
Brilliant vid , brought back a lot of memories, in 1970 I would have been 7 yr old , now 60 , remember arriving in the Kepple boat to the harbour and my mum playing bingo in the fairground at the back of the gardens, good memories and winning the sand castle competition at the far beach , going round the back of the island to the beach and having toffee apples , Mapes bikes still hiring out the bikes with that same old smell, fishing off the boat from the harbour towards the little Cumbria , stopping at Nardini’s before crossing the water, now living in the Cotswolds but I brought my kids up to the lovely wee island , all the best 👍
Thanks for the comment! I’m right there with you Mitchell - lots of happy memories. I was last there in 1998 and it was still such a treat!
I was also there, seems like only a short time ago !!!!!!
Loved the video, can remember going my holidays to Millport in 1974 , got across on the Waverley, we used to hire out bikes and cycle round the island past the big indian face, there was a marine museum as you came back into Millport with a octopus in it, we’d walk across to the cafe at Fintrry bay, also used to go to the Garrison on the sea front , it had amusements and a real flee pit cinema there, I can remember seeing Frankie Howard’s “Up Pompeii” there , real joyous happy days none of my family were in this video but they still felt like my own folk, thanks for rekindling the memories 😊
I was looking to see if that giant ice cream cone was there in 1970!!!
Don't remember it... where is it?
Always outside the cafe along the frontage.Looked pretty battered in the mid-90's, was still there in 2012.@@DerekCadzow
Millport bound tomorrow 👍
Lucky you... I'm envious. :)
The origins of my home track, just gorgeous
Happy that you folks have kept the track beautiful and operational (and expanded it -- I'd love to drive it today!). Check out this blog post for stories and pictures of the very first race on the track in September of 1977: derekcadzow.com/finally-racing-on-our-own-track/
I have thurly enjoyed this video, l have been to Milport lot's of times, it's a great we lsland , also you can hire a bicycle & cycle round the Island, then you can go up to the top of the lsland & have a great view across the sea, ... But thanks to the person who made this great video, l say well done 👍.
Thanks John... my grandfather (who shot the movie) would thank you very much for your kind words and agree with you that Millport is a special place (and so would I!).
Good steady filming. What camera did he use? A Bolex or? Where and how did you get it digitized - it looks great - if you can see the grain in the film it's a good digitize...
DLWELD, that's a good question. This was 52 years ago now and my grandfather has been gone a long time. I had it done by a commercial digitization service in the US. A friend of mine has had good results with this machine, but I haven't tried it myself: www.amazon.ca/dp/B08LQXV7VV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&fbclid=IwAR3EouDk7VUPXPqyf9_D7bFZoLrcL9XgfZ2CKbHzWU8bluXvjwiv2q73X5w
Great footage! Me and my own family (all of us) went to Millport and cycled around the island, great memories.
Gee every one was slim back then.
Haha.. .not so much any more :)
Beautiful place 😍 one if my gran and papas favorites ❤ I'm booking this fir tge family now ❤
We used to go there constantly from Glasgow when I was wee in the late '50s and early '60s - great place and lots of early memories. Your Gran and Papa had good taste... :)
Started going 65 years ago and still there often. Remember the 70s there very well indeed. Nice wee film.
Thanks! My Grandfather would appreciate it! :)
I'm a 62yr old 'paralyzed in the legs' gentleman. Who has received his DJI Mini SE last month, and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself by flying it... 😊🙏
It's great, isn't it? So glad you discovered it and are enjoying it too. Be sure to join up "Old farts with drones" group on FB! :)
I shall surely do so, thanks Derek 👍.
Time Obliterates All Things . The proud handsome young father in this film is now a white haired old man bent with age . Perhaps passed away ? The carefree young Mum perhaps in a care home - all memories of this day wiped clean from her memory. Life is Cruel . Live every day as though it was the last . 🙏🙏🙏
A very realistic speculation given the amount of time that has passed. In fact, although the grandparents are long gone, the carefree young Mum is aging but spry and alert. The handsome young father is still with us but in a nursing home. The kids are all doing well and thriving. Life can be cruel, but it can also be full of beautiful moments as long as, as you say, we live every day fully and stay in the moment. Thanks for your comment. :)
@ Derek No , thank YOU for your reply. It's a great unanswered question : is anything worse than happy times remembered when the future holds only loss and pain ? Beautiful footage anyway and will now be around for ever ?!! Something the camera user could never have imagined at the time. Sorry to hear about the young father but pass on my prayers to your (?) Mum.
Fantastic thanks for posting.
You're welcome!
it seems like an enjoyable yet fascinating day out in nature! 🙌🏽
Thanks Hana. Next time I hope to have the drone with me to try shots from up high and hope I don’t crash into a tree!
Nice!
Thanks!
Stunning footage!!! Such a gorgeous area!!
Thanks Mike. It's a do or die kind of flying practice (followed by a sink or swim...!!)
@@DerekCadzow Awesome!! Subscribed!!
I still keep my 1st "real" drone flight up on my channel. Very glad to see you had the presence of mind to use a static stand off camera. This video is something you will look back on and say, "Wow, nice! But I do nicer now!" And once again, love the edit & soundtrack.
Thanks! I wanted to see the drone fly not just what the drone saw (in case my first flight didn't last too long.. :) )
IT'S ALIIIVE! Loved it! A friend of mine also like to fly in a similar way; close-in to the trees/brush. He had his DJI Spark all of 3 days and DID put it into the water. His lived, too. 72 hours of drying under a heat lamp helped.
Thanks BMack... I'm just glad I got it back in one piece! I'm glad your friend's Spark survived too. I've been leery of water ever since...
You're making great progress on the new homestead :-)
Thanks Steve -- more to come!
Thank you for your videos and your website. I found a lot of helpful info. We are planning to move to Nova Scotia in 3 weeks from the US! Wish us luck!
Best of luck Girvin. Let us know when you get here and we can visit!
Can you still get rain mates?
Hi Jennifer - what’s a rain mate?
@@DerekCadzow lol at 1.25 on video there are two older ladies on the pier and one is wearing a rainmate on her head. It was a folded piece of plastic with tiers you could wear over a hat or your hair to keep the rain off. They were commonly worn.
@@jenniferwilliams4447 thanks for the explanation... I remember those (in fact, the two ladies you mention are my grandmothers). I remember my Mom wore them as well. I just never knew what they were called. Now I know... :)
Beautiful bird view footage! Thank you for sharing this nice video!
Thank you Mitsu. Like you, I am just starting and learning each time I fly. I like the videos on your page -- very nicely shot!
awwww the good old days when it was still fun
Yeah, I get it....
Just found Limmy's video -- now I know what you're all talking about... and exactly what he's talking about too. :)
That’s funny to see now that I’m living there part time!
I bet... I can barely believe that this little movie is 50 years old...!!
@@DerekCadzow it’s really hard to believe:)
What's it like I an thinking of moving there
Go, Team, GO!!! You are rocking it!
Is there not one wee boy missing? Oh, ya, 1970.... 👶
oh, you were there.... :) In fact, we'd just found out from your Mum that day.
@@DerekCadzow seriously?!? That’s so sweet. So I was May ‘71 so this must have been post Sept ‘70?
@@johncurrie8719 Hmm, really? No, this was about June or July '70... maybe I'd heard it from my Mum slightly after the holiday then... because it wasn't as late as Sept. Sorry, I always thought that was the way it happened... :/

7?
So this is what limmy was talking about... Beautiful
Is that Limmy on the bike?
The fellow with the brown jacket on the bike?
Congrats!! It's beautiful. What fun you will have fixing it up!! Look forward to visiting.
We're looking forward to your visit!
Looks great! And apparently will look greater! Congratulations 🎉
One hopes... :)
Its not changed much . Brilliant wee film .
Thanks donny -- brilliant might be a stretch, but thanks :) Shot by my Grandfather George Cadzow in 1970.
ah back when Ottawa was a fun town. Great job on the clip Derek. I wish I had stills or movie film from the stock car races at Lansdown Park here in Ottawa.
I think my pics and negatives would be the first thing I'd take out of the house if it was on fire. Jackie would be second... :)
Beautifully done, Derek. Phil
Thanks Phil!
