Videos about mountains, waterfalls, and one day, hopefully, volcanoes.
Hello, my name is Jaroslav, but I often use Jarda.

I like mountains from my childhood as we walked with our mom every summer in High Tatras in Slovakia. After years of photography, I discovered drones and I fallen in love with cinematography. When possible, I will go to mountains with my drones and cameras, trying to catch memories of light.

I visited 50+ countries, and many volcanos, but I still haven't seen the lava flow...

On social networks my nickname is often MedaBeda, which is Yogi Bear in Czech language.

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

So, one week later, I returned to the Viamala area on the last possible day to film the Viamala Gorge, and this time it worked out well! ✨ So, here is the 27th episode of the Grand Tour of Switzerland! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­

Wish you a wonderful day!

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I've just uploaded the 26th episode of the Grand Tour of Switzerland series. This time, it was an uphill trip to a small village of Obermutten with gorgeous views. They have a really special church, made completely from the wood from nearby larches.

Hope you will enjoy it!

With many greetings,

Jaroslav

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I returned yesterday from two weeks long trip, visiting one of the bucket list destinations : Greenland.
We traveled on the sailing boat in Eastern Greenland, in the area of Ammassalik, with arctic experts from Go West Sailing. And it was absolutely breathtaking... Remote fisherman villages 🎣, mountains πŸ”οΈ, glaciers 🧊 and whales 🐳.

I've collected almost 600 GB of material, so it will take some time to process it, but wanted to share at least few pictures.

The barrels and old cars are from an abandoned US military base from WWII, which was used as a refueling stop for the flights between US and Europe. And the gun was as a last resort defense against polar bears, which we (un)fortunately haven't seen...

With many greetings,

Jaroslav

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Just few weeks ago I've returned from an amazing trip to Lofoten Islands in Norway. The bucket list item was to see once Lofoten in summer, and hopefully with midnight sun. And I'm so glad that it all worked out! πŸ€

The longer videos from Lofoten trip will come later, but I wanted to share with you the experience of midnight summer... All shots in the following video were done after midnight and the sun was still magically hanging there 😎

And the thumbnail photo is almost exactly at the midnight local time at one of the iconic bridges in Fredvang, Lofoten.

For geography fans here is the exact map location: maps.app.goo.gl/F2XYhd8ym8YzgoL98

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
Sometimes you find magical places not so far from your home... Just an hour's drive from ZΓΌrich is KlΓΆntalersee with turquoise water and steep mountains above it. And on the weekdays, you can continue on the small road, which is open only for bicycles on the weekends, towards the Pragelpass.

I hope you will enjoy the video! Wish you a wonderful Sunday!

Have a wonderful evening! ✨

Hi folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I made a mistake in my last video, and in several places, I called the waterfall Geissbach instead of the correct Giessbach πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Big thanks go to β€ͺ@SylviaMichelPhotography‬ , a truly local expert, for bringing it to my attention that the waterfall is not called Goat waterfall πŸπŸ˜‚

Also, as the footage for the video is primarily from October 2023, surprisingly, Sylvia told me that the Grand Tour of Switzerland Photo Spot is not standing there anymore... 😒

But it is still an absolutely stunning place, and I hope you will enjoy the video...

With many greetings,

Hello, hello! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Today I'd like to kindly ask you, pls, about your preferences. Which types of video format do you enjoy the most?

Hello, hello, folks! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I posted yesterday my first ever HDR video... I was always curious how is it done, and it is surprisingly not difficult, it just need the project to be edited and color graded in the wide color gamut. I've picked up Rec 2020 HLG (Hyper Local Gamma) as it seems the easiest one to work with. Surprisingly, it takes YouTube extra several hours to process HDR. It first publishs 4K version and few hours later it creates HDR version.

The colors are little bit too saturated, but it was just a first experiment πŸŽ¨πŸ˜€.
Hope you will enjoy this trailer from the upcoming video about Iceland.

With many greetings,

Jaroslav

Hello, hello! βœ¨πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I know, for a long time, I did not post a new video, but this weekend, finally, I will have a new episode of the Grand Tour of Switzerland series. This time, we will visit the Engadin Valley when larch trees are turning gold and get closer to Piz Bernina, the only 4000+ meters high mountain in the region.


And several other videos are coming soon as well.
Thanks so much for all your support and patience! ✨

With many greetings,

Jaroslav
