The Planet Earth videographers are genuinely the best of the best in the entire world as far as I'm concerned. The series rises SO far above ANYTHING else done in the nature space, it's not even fair. It is ASTONISHING the footage they get, and how crystal clear and crisp it all is. They deserve ALL the awards. Some of the shots especially at the penguin island place from series 2, and the manta rays jumping out of the ocean with the sunset in the background in this newest 3rd series are genuinely some of the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen in my entire life. It's truly mesmerizing.

[@MrBananun]

Absolutely agreed. It's also fantastic how the BBC doesn't do profit or ads/product placement. This is the power of non-capitalism.

As a kid you never really appreciated the efforts it takes to film these documentaries, but now as a 23 year old, i gotta say props to the whole Planet Earth team (photographers, videographers, etc, etc). I can't even imagine how it'd be to film in these environments... but it's probably both fun and most likely pretty damn exhausting, and also dangerous in some situations!

[@joevanderhoff9715]

Thank you for sharing this. As a teacher in Vietnam, I often ask my students about their future career choices. I will definitely introduce my students to the amazing work that you do. This is a meaningful job that requires perseverance and a high level of knowledge. I hope that in the future, some of my students will be inspired to pursue a career as a BBC wildlife cameraman.

[@AuGAlaN]

wow i didn't expect they'd be so comfortable around wild wolves and vice versa around humans

[@WhyWorldWet]

Or the film crew to be comfortable being in the water filming the frogs, when theres gators around, lol…

[@shestewa6581]

I honestly think there’s something atavistic between humans and some canine species that gives a mutual understanding and respect. They didn’t see the humans as prey or predator (especially because they’d never seen humans before), but more like “Oh who are you?” Human domestication of wolves started tens of thousands of years ago and there was likely a lot of commensualism before that to get to that point. It’s not a surprise to me that both our species and many Canis species have some biological heritage of co-evolution that makes us easy aroind one another. Dog domestication didn’t just happen in one place and time, most likely, but everywhere, and it’s likely that that plays a part in how we react to them and they react to us.

[@d4mdcykey]

Endless thanks to all the people that make this series possible, the levels of expertise and dedication is beyond inspiring.

[@simonmcglary]

Those camera crews must have an incredible knowledge of technology and nature at the same time! Masses of patience as well and no issues with being incredibly uncomfortable while waiting.

[@terramater]

The work that wildlife camera teams are doing is incredible. We registered our team, doing an amazing job of filming a Nile crocodile, but of course, for that, they had to dive and swim nearby. Such a brave and fantastic work!

[@naibafYT]

You never disappoint. Thank you for helping us understand how amazing and valuable our earth is.

[@AgusSJati]

The archer fishes are highly adaptable. You can easily find many of them around human settlements, especially those that were built above water (typical local settlements in coastal areas). They learned that humans throw food waste into the water, and they will race to get to where the food will land even before it touches the water's surface. It's amazing that they can precisely judge this as if they were physicists. Of course, they still occasionally practice their archery skills.

[@venicawood3894]

Indeed. Interesting that they used adapted Canon EF lenses

[@richardkujur]

True, but when I zoomed in few places. They seems to turn their AF on. I wonder how does Canon EFs perform with Sony Auto focus.

[@mikeyhughessays]

@@richardkujur good question. Maybe this weekend I will test it with the Sigma adapter and let you know what I find

[@richardkujur]

@@mikeyhughessaysThanks bud! Since you own CF glasses, I wonder what made you shift to A7Siii. I shoot documentaries for TV and 90% of time I rock my good old 24-70.

[@mikeyhughessays]

@@richardkujur I tried the latest Canon EF 35 1.4 and 70-200 2.8 and autofocus didn’t work at all. However, autofocus with my Sigma EF lenses worked flawlessly as far as I could tell. That stands to reason since I used the Sigma MC-11 adapter. I have the EF mount lenses to use with my C70 and R5C. I bought the a7siii so that I could see if Sony lives up to the hype. Relatively pleased with it so far

Sir David never takes credit for the crew whether they are local guides or the camera crews. There is always a final segment where he shows the hardships, the wondrous faces of the crew and the resultant achievements, just part of the beauty of Sir David Attenborough.

Nature is pretty chill , it’s on when food is needed then it seems to get wild however nature animals are very peaceful usually

Gelungenes Video sehr interessant. Gruss Jürgen 🤠

[@andydufresne8034]

What they should have done to attract the wolves was bring a barbecue grill up there and have a cookout. Campfires are probably where wild wolves originally became friendly with humans. RIP to the bull, frogs, and crickets who died in the making of this movie. I've always had a hard time with all the death in Planet Earth, but it reminds me how precious, brief, and hard life truly is and how lucky we are to be so sheltered from Nature, though we can never fully escape the elements or predators no matter how civilized we get.
