A Ramble from Montlake Along Lake Washington Blvd, Summer, 2022

This one is a bit of a good/bad situation. The good is that I think I have figured out most of my gear’s problems when it comes to recording 4k60fps. I usually do 4k30fps but I have always wanted to do more. I think I have figured most of it out and I present it here. The Bad is that my gimbal gave up the ghost after about a half-an-hour, so….

I start at the SR 520 Interchange where a new lightrail station is being built. The light is a bit orange and hazy due to nearly 20 big wildfires in the eastern part of King and Snohomish counties. From there, I move along Lake Washington Blvd, skirting the Arboretum and almost make it all the way to Madison St, which was my intended halfway point before the conk-out. I will finish this walk, but at this point, I cannot quite say when. But for now, enjoy!
