Bedford Steam Rally 2016 - A Dave Holden Video

This was the first time I have attended the Bedford Steam And Country Fair and what a great show it was.
One of the largest preservation societies in the country The Bedford Steam Engine Preservation Society was celebrating 60 steaming years.Managing to dodge the precipitations either side of the weekend the unusually fine weather guaranteed a great turnout.
I was surprised at the scale of the event and would say it is probably the second largest show of its type in the country just behind the Great Dorset Steam Fair but with as many exhibits.
I will definitely be seeing you there next year
Video shot in 4K with Panasonic compact camera GX80
all hand held with cheap manual focus non-stabilised 20mm lens
