Just finished my first wild life film during flood conditions. Here's the video link

I managed about two minutes.

That's 2 minutes more than most people I'll bet.

Less than a minute.

Might I suggest investing in a tripod as the constant shudder of the camera made me feel ill and my eyes strain.

I concur with that, I thought Mr Greenacre was filming whilst riding a unicycle.

I just don't understand what he's trying to do. He has ripped some decent professional photos off the web (probably without permission) and used them to front complete dross of blurred, out of focus and shaky images.

This video is 71 minutes long

I'll bet 90% should be edited out. Better to present 10 minutes of watchable video than over an hour of this schite.

Anybody volunteering to see the whole show?

Paul has history with his videos. Upsetting the pike fraternity with his poor handling skills...

And why speak in the third person all the time?

It's his poor camera handling skills that I am talking about.

OK, so everyone's got to start somewhere, but in this case, the 'somewhere' has to be buying a tripod and a deadcat, watching some other wildlife films, and then looking at what he's done to see if it resembles a wildlife film.

It seems really mean to pick holes in something someone has produced and is proud of but you really do need either a tripod or monopod.

...either that or lay off the Jack Daniels.

At least you've demonstrated the ability to get a few subjects within photography range. Don't be discouraged, you can most definitely improve your results. and well done for having an interest in the first place.

What's a 'deadcat' Mark?

Well, its a darned good start in my book, I hate the things!

I think though that it is the muffler you see around a microphone to cut out ambient noise especially from the wind . . . . . . .

Still prefer my version though having been brought up in a house that never had less than a dozen of the bluidy things!
