Wind, Light & Wild Camping: Capturing Callow Hill, Shropshire (Pack #162!)
Ask any landscape photographer or filmmaker, and they'll often tell you the same thing: the really interesting weather often produces the very best light. Sure, calm, sunny days are lovely, but it's when the wind whips across the hills and clouds race across the sky that you get that incredible drama, those fleeting moments of stunning clarity, and light that truly sings. That was certainly the case when capturing Clip Pack #162 – Callow Hill Shropshire Hills Stock Footage. It was tough, it was windy, but the results? Absolutely superb.
This pack is the culmination of a few challenging days spent hiking and wild camping on Callow Hill, right in the heart of the beautiful Shropshire Hills. To do justice to the conditions and the landscape, I brought out the heavy hitters – a very expensive camera and prime lens combination designed to deliver exceptional image quality even when nature isn't fully cooperating. The goal was to capture Shropshire at its finest, wind and all, and this pack delivers exactly that across 67 meticulously captured clips (18m 30s, 7.38GB, 4K UHD).
Diving Deep into the Callow Hill Experience (Pack #162):
This isn't just a collection of scenic views; it's an immersive journey packed with detail:
The Majestic Landscape: Expect truly gorgeous Shropshire hills footage. Drone and tripod shots work together to showcase expansive rural scenes – rolling hills stretching into the distance, fields forming classic patchwork farmland patterns, country lanes winding through the landscape. The wind adds dynamism, with shots capturing long grass blowing dramatically, trees swaying, and ferns rustling. We've got summit views, cairns (including shots of me placing rocks, as is tradition!), epic vistas under majestic, fast-moving clouds, and that superb light breaking through. Perfect for establishing shots and evocative backgrounds.
Hiking & Details: Follow the journey on foot – hiking or "yomping" up hills, crossing bridges, navigating fences (spot the trapped sheep wool – an authentic countryside detail!). There are POV shots putting you right there on the trail, and close-ups capturing the textures of the landscape: vibrant yellow gorse, purple heather, hawthorn berries, even abstract details in puddles reflecting the dramatic sky. And that backlit foxglove shot? Simply amazing. As always, any shots featuring me exploring are fully model-released.
Wild Camping Life: Experience the reality and rewards of wild camping. Detailed sequences cover pitching the tent (including getting the fly sheet secured in the wind!), cosy inside-tent shots offering shelter from the elements, and the essential camp rituals. See me setting up camera gear for photography, capturing those magical moments. Watch as coffee gets brewed using a fantastic portable nano espresso maker, Pot Noodles get prepared, and proper steaks sizzle in the frying pan over a camping stove! The pack even includes atmospheric night shots outside the tent, capturing the moon hanging over the Shropshire hills.
This pack truly captures the feeling of being out there – the challenge of the wind, the beauty of the shifting light, and the simple pleasures of a remote camp.

Clip Pack #23 - Shropshire Hills winter landscape stock video footage...
Want to see the Shropshire Hills transformed by winter's grip? This pack (85 clips) contrasts dramatically with the windy but likely greener scenes of Pack #162. Captured during a wild camping trip on Caer Caradoc in January, it features snow-covered landscapes, rolling fog, and breathtaking time-lapses of cloud inversions. Drone footage soars over Caer Caradoc, the Long Mynd, The Lawley, and The Wrekin, capturing hills blanketed in snow under glowing pink-orange dawn skies. Ground shots show trekking through icy trails, frost-covered tents, and cooking in harsh winter conditions. The cloud inversion timelapses, showing fog rolling over valleys like a slow tide, are particularly spectacular. Essential for portraying the beauty and challenge of the British countryside in winter.
Clip Pack #245 - Long Mynd Fires - Hiking and Wild Camping... Stock Footage
This pack offers a unique and dramatic perspective on the Shropshire Hills, captured during a multi-day hike that coincided with large wildfires burning across the Long Mynd. The 83 clips juxtapose the stunning natural beauty of the area – rolling hills, wild ponies (some seen near the fire!), grazing sheep, gorgeous sunsets – with the stark reality of the environmental impact of the fire, showing plumes of smoke rising and flames spreading through heather and gorse. It also includes intimate wild camping scenes, featuring tent setup, cooking meatballs and noodles inside the tent, and POV moments from the trip. It’s powerful footage, suitable for environmental documentaries, news features, or projects exploring the complex relationship between nature and human impact, all set against the beautiful Shropshire landscape.
