Yeah, did The Broads three years running from 1999. Unfortunately that was before I had any decent photo or video gear, but I did have a go at videoing Marsh Harriers near Reedham with my friend's VHS camcorder. My first attempt at filming wildlife. I don't think I flatter myself when I say I'm much better at it now! Nice video Steve! 👍🤓👍

Hi Steve It was a long time coming but worth the wait 🙂 I guess, like me, that you had a huge number of photos to review and post-process from your trip to Slovenian Bears! …. and then you had a video to create! Your video brought back memories of my trip to Slovenian Bears in mid-May this year, not that I had forgotten my own amazing experience 🙂 You saw Brown Bears of different ages on 3 out of 4 days and I saw them on all 3 of my days so it is a score draw! You also saw and photographed a Badger at the reflection pool hide which I didn’t but I did see a Stone Marten (a first for me) in the darkness well beyond the pool. It sounds like you had a brilliant time and I trust that you were well looked after throughout your stay by the incredible team of Miha, Lenart and Hana. Richard

Hi Richard, yes it took ages to go through all my images and footage. it was a nice problem to have though. What an amazing experience, I pleased my video reminded you of your own trip. It was nice to see the badgers and hedgehogs but of course the bears are the main event. The hawfinches were a good bonus too. Thanks for commenting, all the best, Steve.

Great video - YT hasnt been showing me your videos recently for some reason, so I need to catch up As soon as you said you had a mating pair in flight, I knew it would be Black-tailed Skimmers! They seem to (occasionally) hover for photographers, I got a lucky shot a few years ago when a pair hovered in front of clear background. The subject detect has been a game changer for dragonflies in flight, I was told to try it on my OM1 and bird seems best, I guess the AI looks for heads in front of wings and works it out despite the fact they are insects. Was so good I made a 3rd video last year just to try it out!
@SteveHedgesPhotography Ай бұрын
@@ukwildlife Thanks very much really pleased you enjoyed it. KZbin can be like that, very annoying! Yes it makes life so much easier if they hover for a while. It just gives the AF a better chance to lock on and us photographers a better chance to get them in the viewfinder. You're right subject detect is a game changer. I found bird eye detect best too.
