My father was born in Voe, loved it when he used to take me home for holidays. A young boy couldn't have ask for anything else or a better place to be.
Pannekoek I just came back to this video three years later and I’m happy to say I’ve been back. Ten years after we left we went back to Shetland and visited. It’s still breathtakingly beautiful and my heart belongs there. Hopefully you have or will see it one day! All in love 🦋🌿
Thank you for the kind words, Facebooks "Shetland on camera" , "Shetland Orca Sightings" and "Shetland Aurora Hunter" are great pages to get a feel for what's going on and where :)
Stunning video Nick I cycled toured the Outer Hebrides this year and now looking for a new project and was looking at the Shetland Islands which is why I came across your video. It looks pretty stunning. Thanks for Sharing
My Pleasure, Shetland has so much to offer if you put the time into researching places. Look up "Shetland on Camera" and "Shetland Orca Sightings" on Facebook, they're full of amazing photos/videos of interesting places to visit and best of luck in your travels!
Going To Shetlands late july for time to look up ancestors. Found out a year ago my origins are from there, and your videos are making me even keener to get over there. Thanks so much for wonderful sights for people on otherside of world.
Barry Watt thanks! If I can help at all with locations etc please just message me. Look up “Shetland Orca sightings” on Facebook to better your chances of seeing any whales while you are here. Another 2 pages on Facebook are “Shetland on camera” & “Shetland birds & wildlife”. Enjoy!
Is it because I put an S on the end of Shetland my mistake (that was an apology, for my ignorance and am sure I would have been told when I get there). Because if that is all you have to complain about its very petty. But I'm sure this is only the place to like or dislike Nick's wonderful documentaries.
Barry Watt it's a funny thing about calling it the "shetlands" I wouldn't lose sleep over it.. People up here will just politely correct you, technically it is the Shetland Islands but its only natural people abbreviate it to "the Shetlands"
got a wife and three kids and they want warm weather and sunshine ... Had a hard time convincing them to go to Scotland last year. This is even further north. Lucky me ... ;-)
TvanBoven I feel your pain mate....I'm a Dad too. If you ever manage the trip send me a message and I'll be sure to help you get the most out your visit.
Nice one Rich., well moody; I could feel the Sun on my neck towards the end. Send me a ticket when your first production comes out, Bob's mate John... that's the one, all hair and no teeth!
We are lucky to have numerous pods visit us but generally speaking there are 2 or 3 main pods ( the 64's, 65's and 27's) Checkout @shetlandorcasightings on Facebook for more detailed info 👍
Nick McCaffrey could you tell us please, a couple of words about a church on 7:50 min. On which island is situated, is it under some Christian congregation care?10 years ago I spent a time in Orkneys; I feel that North Islands - Shetlands is my destination. Thanking for this video I wait for next one ...[subscriber no 103 :)]
Robert Snopkiewicz Hi Robert, thanks for the sub! I'll be sure to get some more footage up as soon as the wind calms down.....the building is on the mainland past the town of Brae near Hillswick/Eshaness. Happy to send you a picture of it on a map if you email/message me. To my knowledge it's not used frequently but I could be wrong, I just thought it looked brilliant. Hopefully we see more Orca this summer, check out "Shetland Orca sightings" on Facebook for updates on any whale/dolphin activity if you do visit to maximise your chances of seeing the wildlife. People are good at updating the site in real time when something exciting is around 😉
Thanks very much :D The guns are located on the Isle of Vementry, its close to Aith or across the sound from Muckle Roe. Happy to show you where on a map if you message me an email address. I'm gathering footage for this year's clip and things are shaping up to be pretty awesome!
No bother, I post a lot on Facebook under my own name or under my company name (Southspear media). Always happy to help, I've found the stuff I have here because of the help of others so the circle comes around and all that ;)
I get the impression Shetland to UK is the same as Newfoundland is to Canada. They both are isolated from the mainland. have their own atmosphere that's separate from the rest of the country. I have never been to Shetland but I loved Newfoundland
I suppose there are similarities then! I can say you would love the place if the weather plays ball. Shetland is a well separated from the mainland of the UK and there is little around us. The industry is really based on fishing and there are some oil developments but on the whole, you'll struggle to find cleaner water and/or air. The wildlife can be amazing and there are lots of interesting things stopping by on their annual migrations so we get to see all sorts of cool things! The landscape is a little like Norway but it is pretty unique with some of the biggest sea cave systems around (not brave enough to fly through them yet).
Well, I´m watching Shetland Season 4 on DVD at the moment. It is funny how many places I can recognise. I hope someday my family and I can travel there for a nice vacation!
Sic luceat lux Well if you ever do travel and need some tips just message me ;) I have a version 2 on my page and I'm working on a 3rd just now. I have loads of stuff you might enjoy ☺
Oxna Papa a lot was used by island medics, my credit is "Southspear Media" I have a second business page on RUclips having since got all my commercial stuff together. If you look at my second video you'll see lots of other clips used too 😉 Thanks for noticing!
I love your videos of this tranquil looking place , I can only imagine what life is like there . I fell in love with Shetland while watching the mini-series on P.B.S. If I ever found myself there I would probably not want to leave , your videos will have to do . I thank you for some of the most beautiful scenery . Greetings from Boston
Thank you for the kind comments and appreciation of my home. Have a look at these three facebook pages for some more beautiful images & wildlife: facebook.com/groups/shetlandbirdsandwildlife/ facebook.com/groups/208681265933879/ facebook.com/groups/shetlandorcasightings/ I have many more videos uploaded too ;)
Hello Nick. My wife and I visited Shetland (from 30 deg south) last month to see the seabird colonies. We will be back again in the future. Just fantastic. As is your video. Very nicely put together, excellent photography and a nice choice of music. I went looking for that music but have been unsuccessful. Are you able to let us know where to find it, or who is the author?
Hi there, thanks very much for your comments! I've got a lot to learn yet but I am spoilt for things to film/photograph up here. I'm gathering footage for this year's version but the Orca's are dragging their heels a bit this year..... The first track is "The gold lining" and the second is "Murmur". Both are by a band called "Broke for free" and can be downloaded for free from freemusicarchive.org/ I had other ideas for music but you're limited with copyright claims on RUclips so I went with these and I am fairly happy with the result. If I knew I could break even I would pay money to use copyrighted music but sadly this is going to be a hobby for a while yet! Don't leave it too long before you're back!
Hi Nick. Thank you for the very prompt reply! I do video work with wildlife (one of the reasons for visiting Shetland) so am always looking for good music. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I love your aerial shots. I have recently acquired a drone but have a lot to learn. Your video is a great inspiration. Will be back to Shetland ASAP (without drone!), possibly next summer.
Keep your eyes on: "Shetland Orca sightings" - facebook.com/groups/shetlandorcasightings/ and "Shetland Birds and Wildlife" - facebook.com/groups/shetlandbirdsandwildlife/ on Facebook for updates on where anything interesting might be hiding, that way you'll get the most of your time when you visit. I'll do my best to point you in the right direction too ;)
As a Swede I feel deeply acquainted with the culture and language (all these Nordic place names are so lovely) It's a pity that Shetland and Orkney don't belong to the Nordic countries.
Yeh, unfortunately it's yet another dreadful corruption from the Ordinance Survey map makers. An official Shetland Islands Tourism map I have has it spelt as Oyja and all my life and everyone I know calls/pronounces it Oyja. It comes from Old Norse "Oyja,an island adjacent to a flat fertile stretch of land along water " :)
Yep, it's a case of "use it or lose it" so don't be afraid to use it!. When you look at the name "Oyja" that's what you say but Uyea is just stupid and nothing like it.
Did a DNA test for shits & giggles Apparently, my DNA is from Shetland & discovered my great Granddad & Granny where from Shetland Gonna have to visit next time I am in Scotland Funny thing my dog is a Shetland sheep dog Choose shadow before I even knew LOL!!!
How many flights in total to make this Vid? how many charges, how many Batteries? which Drone DJI PRO? whats your range? some very saleable Shots here, I worked in Sullem Voe in 1978 it was hell for £300 a week
Woah..I dont think I've been hit with so many questions in one comment before :) How many flights in total to make this Vid? - Thats about a summers worth of flying. thats not all the footage captured over Summer, just the stuff I used for the video. I cant say what it breaks down to in actual flights. I keep flight logs now but much of that footage was shot prior to getting my commercial permissions.... but probably a lot! how many charges, how many Batteries? - No idea (see above). which Drone DJI PRO? - Most of that footage was shot with a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. Now I use a combination of Inspire 2 & x5s camera, Phantom 4 Pro and a Mavic 2 (hasselblad). I probably use the Mavic 2 more than anything else its just so portable and the camera is very, very good for the size of the package. whats your range? Law states never beyond line of sight of 500m horizontally (whichever comes first). However the DJI gear will comfortably exceed 3.5km (apparently)...really your ability to fly back with the battery you have remaining is your limiting factor, not transmission/reception if you have clear LOS. And thanks, I sell a lot of footage now....It pays for new gear and batteries!

@@Overnity Very poignant! A good friend once told me "Just keep doing what your doing and do what feels right". I was sound advice, that proves itself over and over again. I find the stuff I like filming is the stuff people are most interested in...not the stuff I thought people wanted to see. I'm very lucky to be surrounded by lots of great people up here and without them I wouldn't have seen half of what I've managed so my good fortune has a lot to do with good people. I'm my own worst critic when it comes to my own work, but it keeps me getting out and trying to improve so its not a bad thing! Very much appreciate the kind words and believe me when I say my gear gets worked very hard but I do what I can to look after it and I always respect it :)
I'm not sure I understand the question? There are two main ways to get to Shetland. You can get a Ferry from Aberdeen (mainland Scotland) or fly from Inverness, Glasgow or Aberdeen. I believe you may be able to fly direct from Bergen (Norway too).
I learnt nothing about Shitland from this video except for the Orcas. Where do people live, is there a town, lifestyle, food, weather exct.. Good drone footage though.
Harlock2day ruclips.net/video/Su5weSQH1DY/видео.html You're looking in the wrong place if you want people to answer your questions buddy but the linked video or Google may be able to help.
Nick McCaffrey thanks, I have checked, beautiful place, haunting a bit but beautiful nonetheless. Can I ask you what drone you've used. I have bought one for €200 euro and it didn't even fly once. 🙄 😀
Harlock2day I'd say your very unlucky to have spent that much and have no joy with flights. I swear by DJI's stuff (phantoms, mavic Pro, spark mavic air) you can't really go wrong especially if you get the DJI refresh too. This was shot primarily with my phantom 4 pro but I have a mavic Pro too. You'll get a good deal on a phantom 3 Pro on ebay (I'd pay around £30p to £400)but buying second hand comes with its risks especially if you don't know what to look out for. I'd recommend the Mavic Air if you were looking at a new drone to get into the hobby, but you'll be around £700 (UK pound sterling).
Nick McCaffrey thanks Nick, I had been doing films and shorts up to say 12 years ago so now I want to get back into it and it's all digital. I bought a cheap drone to learn how to use it and get into it thinking that when I buy a proper one I'll pass the cheap one to my son to play with. Yes DJI sounds best, I think mine was from a company called Tiger but I wouldn't swear on it. It is fully kitted with screen and remote control but I think I clipped one the the wings and it's not starting again. Delicate things.😀
My father was born in Voe, loved it when he used to take me home for holidays. A young boy couldn't have ask for anything else or a better place to be.
I visited Shetland as a ten year old, now almost 40 years ago. I have vivid memories of the land a people we saw and hope to return someday.
I hope you do come back, it feels selfish to keep it all to myself 😊
I used to live in Shetland and I miss it so much

I get the impression Shetland to UK is the same as Newfoundland is to Canada. They both are isolated from the mainland. have their own atmosphere that's separate from the rest of the country. I have never been to Shetland but I loved Newfoundland
I suppose there are similarities then! I can say you would love the place if the weather plays ball. Shetland is a well separated from the mainland of the UK and there is little around us. The industry is really based on fishing and there are some oil developments but on the whole, you'll struggle to find cleaner water and/or air. The wildlife can be amazing and there are lots of interesting things stopping by on their annual migrations so we get to see all sorts of cool things! The landscape is a little like Norway but it is pretty unique with some of the biggest sea cave systems around (not brave enough to fly through them yet).

You'll get a good deal on a phantom 3 Pro on ebay (I'd pay around £30p to £400)but buying second hand comes with its risks especially if you don't know what to look out for. I'd recommend the Mavic Air if you were looking at a new drone to get into the hobby, but you'll be around £700 (UK pound sterling).
Nick McCaffrey thanks Nick, I had been doing films and shorts up to say 12 years ago so now I want to get back into it and it's all digital. I bought a cheap drone to learn how to use it and get into it thinking that when I buy a proper one I'll pass the cheap one to my son to play with. Yes DJI sounds best, I think mine was from a company called Tiger but I wouldn't swear on it. It is fully kitted with screen and remote control but I think I clipped one the the wings and it's not starting again. Delicate things.😀

Too many gosh darn whales for one video.
It's kinda funny Shetland is the name of this island because of the word "shet".
