Summer Nature Video Highlights
This summer I've spent a bit of time shooting high-definition video. I am a rank beginner and learning as I go, but it's been an incredibly fun new hobby.
So here is a handful of five-second snippets from the hours of video I've shot (most of which is undeniably deletable). I am saving a few choice clips for later sharing here and elsewhere, though it's tempting to let it all out at once.
I think my dream job would be to be the person who gets to film those "Charles Kuralt nature moments." No voice over, no on-screen graphics—just the imagery and natural sounds of some amazing phenomena: birds, animals, plants, or landscape. I remember his segments so clearly from the CBS Sunday Morning television show.
I hope you like my little montage of clips. There's lots more to come. Thanks for watching.
Is it just me, or do those rapids appear to be flowing up?
ReplyDeleteGreat footage. Wish we had high def for the murmuration we saw on Cape Cod.
I love what you've filmed so far. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteLynda in Michigan.
L-O-G, yes I made the clip run backwards, just to see if anyone would notice. Sho nuff, someone did!
ReplyDeletelittleorangeguy....I was thinking that exact same thing, but didn't want to say anything...
ReplyDeleteGlad you said it!
IN any case, I LOVED the video clips, Bill, and can't wait to see more.
Wow! That is so cool. I was wondering how your Pileated Nest and blind was working out.
ReplyDeleteHey! The waterfall is flowing uphill!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the falls going backwards.
ReplyDeleteGood wagon wheel effect.
This is delicious, B. I'm as impressed by the swelling chorus of bug music as much as the visuals. It's amazing what insect song adds to an experience.
ReplyDeleteI saw the falls running backwards and instantly chalked it up to... well, you.
My favorite was the butterflies pumping their wings in unison. Looking forward to more!
