I need your thoughts and advices

[Tikayt]

Took me a while before I decided to put those edits on NS, maybe fearing that some would just say how bad it is without developing their point, so please, haters stay out. M&A helped me, I helped some in M&A, I like this little section of NS where people are quite understanding and open minded.

So this more or less describes my summer, actually, my travels.

Note that I was with my girlfriend so I couldn't really take the time I wanted to make more shots, basically every shot I made are in the edits so I know the outcome could have been way better if I was 100% into it. IMO it lacks faces and expressions, creativity and maybe I could have got a better tripod...

Thanks for watching, and many thanks for letting me know what you think, I consider every critic and advice as a help.

of the 2 i much preferred the corsica one, just generally seemed more interesting to me.

i felt the portugal one seemed very slow, although the shots of different locations, they all followed essentially the same pattern of still or panning shot. i think it would have been nice to see some moving shots, i understand that you had minimal equipment, but even using your tripod to stabilise some walking shots through some of the streets might have given some much needed variation in my eyes.

Also i found that the music felt like it was picking up abit but the cut of the clips stayed at a slower pace, which i wasnt overly keen on.

i agree that it would have nice to have seen some more shots of the locals, Mediterranean/southern european towns always have some interesting locals (especially old people) if you wander enough.

i really liked the titles for the portugal one though, really that struck me as a good looking aspect of the edit.
