I suppose you're all wondering why I'm putting up another Best of 2013 video. Well to put it quite simply after I uploaded the last one, I realised there was so much more that I wanted to put in. So I scrapped the four shots per month idea, got editing, and came up with this. Split up into two parts, this is my review of 2013, I'd stick the kettle on if I were you.

2013 certainly was an interesting year for me, let's see what 2014 brings! Thank you to all of you who watched, commented, liked, favourited and subscribed in 2013, the year I finally reached 1,000 subscribers, I number I never thought I'd reach when I started over six years ago!

Further information on the included shots can be found on their individual videos, where they can also be watched in full. As in an effort to keep the video length down, I tried to keep the shots as brief as possible.

All filmed on a Panasonic HS900, using either Pro Sound L92AA or Panasonic VWVM2SE microphones.

Enjoy.
