Hello
I’ve not been doing much projects recently due to a heavy work load at the ministry which included a lot of photography/filming away from home. I still haven’t processed my Osprey project from mid July but looking over the Raw files there are some that I’m looking forward to blogging !
A sneak preview of this beautiful bird from Scotland is below.
I travelled to Mid Wales at the beginning of July to photography low fly military jets.
The campsite I stayed at was in a valley next to a river near to the town of Dolgellau stunning spot !
As I’d arrived at the pitch I could hear a lot of noise from the river bank, it was a pair of Juvenile Dippers being fed by its adults.
I spent the first two days up in the hills shooting the jets then couldn’t resist the pull of the river and decided to concentrate on the dippers for the last day, what an experience I had with them !
The dippers were using a small section of the river so it wasn’t long before they came back after I’d installed my equipment, It was my first time using a new bit of kit for the wide shots a Samsung U20 it helped not to disturb the birds by changing lenses, you can read up on it here at DVGizmo who contacted me to explain the setup I used.
I’ve uploaded a clip to you tube of the dippers feeding and preening, if you look closely at 1:18 you can just see the top of my 500mm I forgot to crop out on the edit oops
I did have a little friend with me between sessions that kept me company
Hoping to edit and process the Osprey shoot shortly!
Thanks for looking P
