PHOTOGRAPHING DIPPERS in the SNOW with the CANON 1DX MKII

[@sophiebestwick7589]

Great video Richard! Was great to get out on a shoot together! See you soon for more dipper photos hopefully!

[@mywildlifeimages]

Thank you and definitely! Can’t wait to watch your first vlog 😊

[@MattGouldphotography]

@@mywildlifeimages Oooooo looking forward to this! :D

@Jus Smith I know, sadly she is quite camera shy but has no reason to be! Keep an eye on her channel for upcoming videos 👍

[@tedjames8658]

Wow! That's amazing Rich!!

[@isobelharper]

Lovely! Such gorgeous little birds

[@anniepritchard7920]

looked cold!!! but beautiful! and lovely little birds

[@jaichndrn]

So lovely, Awesome moment beautifully captured.

[@davidshawe8982]

Really lovely dipper footage.

[@nancythompson6146]

Beautiful video of such a lovely little bird. It looked very cold!

[@nathanwatsonphotography]

Great video, looks freezing cold. Thanks for sharing.

[@do-not-reply461]

Sending thanks for a life further enriched by your work. I spent about an hour this past Wednesday photographing and filming a tiny little black bird as it dove into the freezing, cold Virgin River that weaves through Zion National Forest in Utah. A couple months ago, prior to finding your channel, I would likely have walked past without a second look at this somewhat nondescript bird. I'm at the beginning of my birding and photography journeys. However, having seen your videos, I took the time to watch and film as it foraged in the river. With my return to internet connectivity, I confirmed the bird to be an American dipper. Thanks again for your posts. Sending postive vibrations from SoCal.

Mate so good - excellent video. what an experience

[@delilahhewlett8468]

Such a lovely video Richard

[@frederickmcdonald6636]

Absolutely love your commitment to the art of wildlife photography - there's a certain kind of 'crazee' that is needed for those of us who brave the elements to get a photo, ie: good kind of crazy! Kudos to you and your friend for being out and about on such an awesome day - stupendous video. Take care and be safe out there....

[@northernembersoutdoors1045]

A beautiful video, I've been looking forward to catching up on this one. You really captured the Dippers so well. If you're in Scotland at some point and looking for a new place there is a place called Sma Glen. It's a really nice place, a very old bridge is there and a good walk following the river, dippers are there. In fact I was watching some from the car, there's like a small layby type carpark next to the river. I saw what I thought was a suspended nest, just above the water, and chicks. It was weird because suddenly I started to worry, the nest wasn't that far above the water and I worried about too much rain and the river rising, silly really but wildlife is so precious every bird or animal counts. I'm calmed myself with the fact that they know what they are doing. Anyway, fantastic video, footage and looking forward to something coming out soon, thanks.

[@aquaticcolledgefishing]

Stunning footage and great vlog 👌

[@Derbyshire_bird_tours]

Lovely video Richard. Living in Derbyshire I get to see lots of Dipper but never tire of filming them. Cheers.

[@philbooth319]

Another enjoyable watch Richard and some lovely shots captured. Definitely gonna make a visit there myself. Speak soon. Phil

[@martinmoseley128]

Sat at home with Covid. Just found your channel. Great videos. Enjoying catching up on them all. Loved this one and the kites. Wonderful. Totally agree with you about the therapeutic benefits of Wildlife photography.

[@mywildlifeimages]

Thank you very much Martin. Sorry to hear about you having covid, hope you’re feeling well 😊👍

[@bradjones9281]

Another cracking video mate

[@rosieharper861]

[@gilbertfulton9822]

Ahh I remember this location. Brilliant again Richard.

[@TJPhotography]

Great video, The dipper is my favorite bird too, and its our national bird in Norway :)

[@janetturner7489]

Awesome footage Richard. Its been decades since seeing dippers and that was in Derbyshire too. Have a great Christmas and taking care.

[@wildlifewitholly]

Loved it! Very nice to watch on a Monday morning before work, although I wish I was heading out with the camera now haha

[@neonbirding2680]

Abolute epic video of birds in their environment, and great lighting too. Excellent work.

[@jadejones236]

Beautiful video, so nice to see the snow!

[@stephenelderphoto]

I thoroughly enjoyed this Richard. Fantastic footage of the dipper and I just enjoyed all aspects of this vlog. This is now one of my favourite channels, so thanks ⭐️

[@mywildlifeimages]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot 🙏☺️

[@MattGouldphotography]

Lovely video fella! Some beautiful shots and footage. I think the creature it caught was a caddisfly larvae :). Keep them coming

[@SkylarkFields]

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for such a great video!

[@GiuseppeGessa]

Nice footage Richard!! Unfortunately here there aren't dippers, so I think I'll have to come in your area for some pictures 😅

[@indianajanes1182]

Kudos To Your Efforts & Talent.

[@mywildlifeimages]

Thank you 🙏

[@cliffpartridge9218]

YES more dippers, just what I needed on a Monday evening. I'll put the kettle on haha!

[@DaniTurPhoto]

Wonderful video man! Enjoyed every second of it 👏😉

[@waynearchibald3920]

I actually prefer going out in bad weather than bright shiny days! Especially snow...nice video man!

[@bestpix100]

Great footage and pics, you certainly worked hard for the images. Thanks so much for your time and effort

[@Andyhelliwellphotography]

wow amazing i love dippers i have some in my local woods here up in lancashire

[@mywildlifeimages]

They’re awesome aren’t they! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it 😊

[@lauriehorton3475]

What a morning! Awesome to see you getting these images Rich, they are superb with the snowy conditions. You must have been soaking lying half in the water too 😅 great work as always mate 👏🏻

[@PinfoldPhotographic]

Lovely video! A dipper is one of the species I am yet to photograph myself! Might head up there next year 😊

[@stevewharton1236]

Excellent video Richard I've not seen your work before but enjoyed the content. Looking forward to viewing your back catalogue. I photograph Dippers in the Peak District too but not sure on the location you were at?

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Awsome conditions mate! Love that little dipper. One of my favorite birds. We got them here in Sweden aswell. :)

[@peterloose9013]

Saw and photographed dippers along there in the summer.

[@mywildlifeimages]

Nice one Peter! It’s a fantastic location 😊

[@mozzasnaps]

Another inspiring video with some lovely footage. I was out trying to photograph/film them near Bakewell that day. Must get myself a tripod, but I did have a waterproof coat! ;)

[@mywildlifeimages]

Ahhh so just down the road then! I know, I was gutted when I got on location and realised I left my waterproofs in Devon 😂

[@mywildlifeimages]

Also thank you 🙏

[@Rob.1340]

👍📷😎

[@steveallen5738]

Off up that way hopefully Weds . Not got any shots of a dipper before so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@mywildlifeimages]

Best of luck, I hope you get some images!

[@nautversteegen3271]

Nice video!!! For wdf photography the 6d m I or de 1 dx

[@mywildlifeimages]

Thank you! I have never used the 6d so it wouldn’t be fair for me to say which one but I’ve heard they’re both very good cameras 👍

[@AlexVisualMoments96]

hi hope well awesome video im alex not pro but very passionate severely sight impaired/blind photographer going to be on episode of winter watch soon so keep an eye out about my visual impairment how it affects but also show how i go about doing my passion but also get it out tere show whatever ability is can do whatever want to achieve or do whatever u r into, would just like to ask opinion on the 1dxii for wildlife and what lens u use reason is as i use nikon z7 mirrorless with 24-200 i did have the sugma contemporary 150-600 nikon but got rid of it due to weight and then hired a 500mm pf but wasnt close enough had to crop so but pixelated so ok though so have been recommended to look at the olympus range or lumix range

[@mywildlifeimages]

Hi Alex, Thank you for your comment. I look forward to Winterwatch even more now. I love the 1dxmkii for wildlife photography as it fast and solid however it is quite heavy and the shutter pretty loud. The Olympus range looks great and some of my favourite photographers use Olympus, like Tesni Ward, so certainly worth considering. I love the gear I used but it is far from light I'm afraid. If you have any more questions I'm happy to help, just send me an email at [e-mail] All the best Rich
