Symington may refer to:
Symington Family Estates is a wine company and Port wine house in Portugal, which owns and operates several vineyards and wineries and owns several brands of Port, Madeira wine and Douro DOC wines, including some of the oldest and most well-known Port and Madeira brands. With their extensive vineyard holdings and many Port brands, the Symingtons are often described as being a "Port empire".
The companies owned by Symington Family Estates and individual family members together own 27 quintas (estates) in the Alto Douro region, and additionally lease one and operate one as a joint venture. These 25 quintas together have 940 hectares (2,300 acres) of vineyards. Over 70% of the Port wine sold by Symington-owned brands is produced from grapes from these vineyards. Together with these land holdings, the Symingtons are the largest vineyard ownership group in the Douro.
The Symington family are members of the association Primum Familiae Vini.
The company was founded by Andrew James Symington who arrived in Oporto from Scotland in 1882, and initially joined Graham's. In 1891 he married Beatrice Atkinson, who was descended from several generations of port wine shippers and producers, the oldest known of which was Walter Maynard, who is known to have shipped port wine already in 1652.
The Phoenix Lights (also identified as "Lights over Phoenix") was an alleged UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997.
Lights of varying descriptions were reported by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson.
There were allegedly two distinct events involved in the incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to pass over the state, and a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area. The United States Air Force later identified the second group of lights as flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft that were on training exercises at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona.
Witnesses claim to have observed a huge V-shaped (several football field sized), coherently-moving dark UFO (stars would disappear behind the object and reappear as it passed by), producing no sound, and containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident. As governor he ridiculed the idea of alien origin, but several years later he called the lights he saw "otherworldly" after admitting he saw a similar UFO.

David Symington's Ronaldo-esque free-kick against Doncaster 20-11-2012
It is amazing how wines are made in this region of the world. These are "lagares" where the grapes are destemmed, pumped into these huge lake like things, everyone walks over them, extracting the best must. Then they break the seal or sombrero- hat with a long stick and collect the juice. What a great experience!

Eccleshall is a peaceful rural town in Staffordshire. James and I grew up near there. We used to joke about it having a hidden criminal underworld and gang-land killings. This is what happens when two 31 year old idiots take a childhood joke to it's logical conclusion. Not to be taken seriously!

This is just a mix of some footage I recently shot to test exporting with the PANAVISION 2.35:1 format.

LLCOOLGAME is a game. The world needs to know about LLCOOLGAME..... We invented the game in 2010 in Spain. What started off as throwing citrus fruit around, finished off as a 5 day tournament with teams, rules, special moves and resulted in 4 people going home with ear infections. We would like to see more people playing LLCOOLGAME, * LLCOOLGAME's name is a shortened way of saying 'Lemon-Lime -Cool-Game'. It has the added benefit of sounding a little like the name of a muscular rap-ballad schmoozer from New York. ** YOU WILL NEED A SWIMMING POOL, however the game is pretty flexible and can be adapted to fit most sizes/shapes of pool. *** TEAM MEMBERS. You don't need to have 4 people for a game. LLCOOLGAME works with various numbers of players. The minimum number is 2 players (one p...
Some timelapse footage taken while I was working at the 2012 Olympic Games
This is my first time using a Panasonic GH2, so I took my family away for a few days to enjoy North East Victoria and the scenery there. I brought the GH2 last week with the 14-42mm kit lens. I filmed in 1080i and 720p using auto ISO and various other camera settings. I am still just learning how to work with a DSLR as I have always filmed on the Canon XHA1 in the past. No ND filter was used as I only just brought a variable filter after coming back from our holiday. Hope you like it and please do give some feed back as it is always welcome.
