It is about the experience one is having outdoors. The camera is a portal towards paying attention to the moment at hand. We can see the world and its details more clearly. And be seeing more clearly we realize that we are seeing a reflection of the inner mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-66447980669379970552009-09-22T17:30:20.238+02:002009-09-22T17:30:20.238+02:00Hi Carol - well it was not that easy following the...Hi Carol - well it was not that easy following them in flight as I only had an axis tripod head (great for digiscoping, but not as fluid to move for video as a ball head) - and all that at between 25 and 50x magnification!<br /><br />Richard, you have some great videos. I have not visited your youtube channel in a good 5months or so but I spent some time there last night - nice!<br /><br />Gaelyn, I took 5000 photos in South Africa and deleted almost 4000. that still left me with way more than I can effectively look through ;-)<br /><br />Chris. Ah well, there has to be something for you to do in winter. Do you want to post-process some of mine? maybe for christmas ;-)Dale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-40718663880766513812009-09-22T15:59:25.253+02:002009-09-22T15:59:25.253+02:00Hi Dale,

We are accumulating pictures to post-treat, but at least I have an advantage, I can only do post-treatment in winter cause there is almost no light to take pictures... hi hi!!<br />Beautiful movie by the way!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-65355659072661918702009-09-22T03:18:18.904+02:002009-09-22T03:18:18.904+02:00So I thought it was the way to take 100s to 1000s ...So I thought it was the way to take 100s to 1000s of photos to get those few good ones. I am anal about labeling every picture I take, good or bad. You just have to do the part you love the most, and not worry about the rest. I always see great images here.
