DJI Mavic2 Pro, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Russia [4K]

It is my first time to take aerial video in Europe and I am glad to start from Russia. It is a beautiful country. Interference in Moscow is strong and there are too many sensitive places so I did not fly much. St Petersburg is a lot better. There are a lot of great attractions and they are not far from each other. To avoid causing concern to other people I started the shooting at 5am in the morning. It is summer time so the sun rise is before 4am. The sun light is just perfect. (The list of attractions is given below)

The background music “Exaelitus” is composed by Yoko Kanno and was sung by Origa, a Russian singer who has worked closely with Yoko in Japan. Some of the signature work are the songs for “Ghost In The Shell” anime series. Unfortunately Origa has passed away a few years ago. I would like to dedicate this video to her.

估唔到首次在歐洲航拍的地方竟是俄羅斯，為安全計選擇在大清早時份5點低調拍攝，人流稀少，這裡夏季4點前已日出，所以雖然早但陽光啱啱好，莫斯科干擾幾大，又多敏感地帶，所拍不多；而聖彼得堡就幾好飛，景點又多而且集中，全程共拍左60G片算是自己旅拍最多記錄。

背樂Exaelitus係去俄羅斯前已揀定，由菅野洋子作曲，主唱係俄國女唱作家Origa，相信如果是「攻殻機動隊」的粉絲一定認識這個組合，可惜Origa在幾年前病逝，揀選這個做背樂算係對Origa的一個致敬。
