I understand, I've been making some videos that are specifically experiential but I've ended up editing them to clarify the experience of being in a natural setting and to try and do as good job as possible of communicating effectively with the viewer.
There's a running clock on the lower right side of the frame in youtube, you can hit the pause button at a specific point in the video and note where it is in the clock readout. For instance in your Reading Avenue Hike 1, you show the chestnut at 8:12/9:34. (8:12 being the point in the total 9:34 minute video where you reach the chestnut). Analyzing the video it appears that what you've got there is a Swamp Chestnut Oak, if you do a freeze frame at minute 8:57 you'll see what I mean. My first thought was Chestnut Oak and it could be that as well but the leaves look a little more oblong than generally seen in Chestnut Oak. Also at 8:38 the bark looks much more like chestnut oak family then a chestnut which is fairly smooth at that size. -AJ Barry Caselli wrote: > Well the main point of the video is to be on a walk with me, except > via video instead of in person.
