I hope you enjoy this one, another comes in around a week, but before that we return to my local lake in Germany.

Wonderful work Gunnar. I think this intro was important, so excellent choice to share it, at least from my point of view. Your pasion helps more people than you may think.

[@GunnarDresler]

The original idea was to make a video out of all my work again, but somehow I got stuck with this format, and I thought some inspiration or idea at the beginning can be always nice and as well catching for new viewers. So I will try to continue with these interesting intros for these small formats. Thank you, Pau :)

[@dzurisintube]

What a stunning intro. A great reminder to all about balance and the value of self-awareness. As always I deeply enjoyed the video and eagerly await seeing your next work.

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you :) I thought it to be a bit cheesy, but it feels real for sure. There will be at least two more videos that I am sure of :P

[@haroldhobbs1184]

Hi Gunnar I loved this video the way you showed your enthusiasm and you're emotions I truly loved it thank you

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you, Harold. I guess I just do not see the need nor do I have the energy to hide them anymore. On the other hand, the enthusiasm does not really need hiding at all :D Cheers, G

This is one kind of a video I really enjoy! The professional cutting, the adorable natureshots and the inspiring content - just perfect! 👍👍👍

[@GunnarDresler]

Vielen Dank, Rainer. Es überrascht mich ein wenig das mein Restmaterial eines meiner beliebtesten Videos der letzten Monate gerade wird :P Damit habe ich kaum gerechnet. Beste Grüße, Gunnar

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

Wow, the footage you captured is amazing. I am glad you were able to put these short stories together. My favorite was the beaver - I love the dark water of beaver ponds. Keep up the amazing work!

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you, Donna. I am glad you enjoyed it, I thought it was good to get those projects to the light of day. Since you like the beavers, would you be interested in the interview I am suggesting? Cheers :)

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

@@GunnarDresler definitely!

[@gladysklip268]

Lovely video, I've enjoyed watching it! You had such great projects in stunning locations. Wildlife that most photographers may never see. Cherish the moments and take life as it comes. It's too short to stress about it.

[@GunnarDresler]

Hei Gladys :) Yeah, some of these where not too far off the beaten track, which is kinda funny. Sometimes you just have to open your eyes. Another one of these videos is coming soon :)

[@IngolfurDavid]

Great stuff the Owl was amazing and the bever hope to see more soon

[@GunnarDresler]

Thanks, Ingolfur. Beaver and Owls are high on the list for this year, I will try to find some for sure :)

[@juanitakelly3082]

Yes, interview about beavers would be great! I read an interesting book about beavers a few years ago called Eager by Ben Goldfarb. Loved hearing the owl!

[@GunnarDresler]

Then we might consider that one in the future :) They are very interesting animals.

[@Denis_Gavritskov]

Visual part of your videos becomes more and more perfect every time! Your video is like a remedy in this hard times, and this format of short stories is such inspiring! Thank you for sharing your passion.

[@GunnarDresler]

Hey Denis. Good to hear from you, and thank you for the feedback! I hope things are changing for the better soon, we have to concentrate our efforts on the environment and not get lost in conflict these days. Glad you tuned in :) Cheers.

[@KreekyKat5983]

This format works really well and it is beautifully compiled etc.

[@GunnarDresler]

I often forget these projects or cross them off as rather no success, but they were definitely on the right path. Just needed some more time. There will be another episode soon, and as well in the future, I am sure. Thank you, Kath! :)

[@JeremyNeipp]

Dude this video is incredible!! That intro was so inspirational I love it 🔥

[@GunnarDresler]

Thanks you, Jeremy. Glad it worked out :)

[@LyndonsAdventures.]

Thank you for the inspirational video! My favorite parts were the woodpeckers and the close up of all the animals.

[@GunnarDresler]

Glad you enjoyed it! The next time I find a nest like that I will film it for weeks straight :P

[@SKgeostrat]

I like your videos Gunnar! Sometimes, the background music is slightly too loud, but your poetry in filmmaking is very nice. I would love to see some of the single images you must have made of the different animals, the cute badger, for example. Some times I feel you underestimate your own ability, but that is neither necessary, nor good for you! You have lots of talent! So believe in yourself!

[@GunnarDresler]

Hei Steinar. I very much appreciate you telling me about the music. I am in a process of having different speaker from time to time, so this information is gold for me mixing my videos. I hope to have a working system in place over the next couple of months that will give me a standard to work with. I am not completely sure what you mean with the single photos of the badger? This intro is basically a compilation of many adventures from the last two years, so if you want to see the badger photos I recommend my badger series. If you meant photos to the single short stories, then I must disappoint because there was not really a decent photo of the beaver nor the woodpeckers. You are right now, I am well in underestimating my skill and what I have learned in short time. I am not fully convinced of my photography, but I think very well of my videos. Thank you so much for the feedback :) Cheers.

[@bimmelhex3025]

Awesome video! Alway great to watch those visually masterpieces

[@GunnarDresler]

Thanks a lot, du Bimmel! :P

[@paulpantorilla6121]

Amazing work! Appreciate your videos. Helping me out while I recovering, and can’t on bigger photo adventures.

[@GunnarDresler]

I guess that is what I will do when the very short winter days come. I hope you get out soon! :)

[@captainsjourney]

Great job mate! Really Inspiring! Cheers from Portugal

[@GunnarDresler]

Glad to hear that! I cannot wait to be out again. Cheers, G

Awesome video, brother.

Much appreciated, thanks! :)

Always a joy watching a video from you... Keep up the good work, I am sure you will have breaktrough soon and the views and subscribers will increse because your work deserves it! Regards

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you very much :) I can only hope for that, but I would not count on it. Cheers and have a good week :)

[@romainplagnol882]

Great video and storytelling 🔥🔥

[@GunnarDresler]

Thank you, Romain :) Cheers, G

[@KGsPhotography]

Great format Gunnar, it would be such a waste to not show all those unused clips. Every time I watch your videos it inspires me to go out and do more. I have been looking to get a shotgun mic, which one do you use? Cheers Keith

[@GunnarDresler]

Hey Keith. I am very happy to hear that those videos inspire to go out more and that people enjoy this extra material. This stuff is laying around and sometimes it seems to be too good to just leave it. In the end I am saving up for a greater goal, but there is no reason against a sneak peak. The mic I am using is the Røde Videomicrophone pro plus, it is working well in a lot of cases, but is no super specialist. I have to get something else for aimed recordings like the eagle owl in the future! Cheers, G :)

[@rauberdaniel]

Great captures and beautiful animals! I bet spotting that owl in the quarry must have taken some time ;)

[@GunnarDresler]

It was actually an easy spot, but then finding it with the camera was hard since I lost it. Gladly I had Dario with his eyes on it for the whole time. We listened to it the evening before and did not see it at all, but the second time it worked well. If you listen closely you hear the female in the back. Glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@comeraczy2483]

@@GunnarDresler Duetting owls are really cool. It's awesome that you managed to record it! Have you considered a thermal monocular? They are eye wateringly expensive but there is a second hand market (and if you are brave enough to buy a broken one and fix it yourself it can be cheap). They are a very effective tool to find wildlife, even well-insulated birds like owls. Looking forward to seeing mor of your "projects that did not work out as planned". This episode is excellent.

[@GunnarDresler]

I guess I would not go that far, even though that sounds like making a lot of things easier. I guess I will read up and then try to find the right environment, sleep outside a lot and listen.

[@Max_Gindele]

What a nice video! I know this from my own. There are so many, little but nice projects, which are to small for an single video. It’s a great idea to present this project in some different videos. Good job 👍🏻 Keep up the good work Greetings from Germany 🙂

[@GunnarDresler]

I just considered it was worth sharing :) Thanks, Max.
