The channel also features behind the scenes videos and podcasts of the filmmakers/photographers and their adventures. Curated by professional wildlife cinematographer and photographer Doug Gardner.
actually I like the cheap plastic video tripods you can buy at walmart because they are verry light. I have owned and broken many but i still like them .I can strap it to my rear bike rack to pedal out into the woods.
Great video, although despite what is considered necessary for "being a wildlife filmmaker", I'd say based upon our "content" we have had on all the big channels over the years (not as many as yours Doug) one doesn't need a 50K camera (but def great glass whether that's a microscope lens or a big zoom) to make the grade. I think sometimes we can get hung up about gear (I'm not saying that about you, I'm just saying it) but forget about all of the field craft/biology/research/camera crew/patience needed etc. etc because even with a million bucks worth of gear if none of those boxes are ticked then one is only going to capture "home movies" at best.
there has always been climate change, what do you think the Ice Age was? It's just a way for governments to distract us so we don't pay attention to their shenanigans
Watched this video years ago...still great! Hope you come up with new videos one day. Shooting mirrorless yet? Would love to see you do another "treasure hunt" video. I think it was my all-time favorite!
Hi Doug I have the same Sigma lens paired with canon a c70. I’m looking at tripods and deciding between a sachtler activ8 and flotech 75 or a second hand video 20. Any thoughts on which would be smoother at 900mm?
These are all just reposts....I wish he would post new videos. I've seen this at least a dozen times. But, at least it's good enough to watch over again.
First off, thank you for your continued support, its greatly appreciated. Yes I am in the process of reposting all of the older Wild Photo Adventure series per the requests of our viewers, BUT I am also starting to upload new video content as time permits. I have already uploaded many new videos that are not repeats. Please watch the following video which will explain our intentions moving forward. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zWYFCOcdOgc.htmlsi=En2wVrnKj6ADUxYO
My parents retired and relocated from Long Island, New York to the Eastern shores of Virginia about a 50 minute drive south from where you filmed this video. He and my mom passed away in the last few years, I made the trip to the Eastern shores several times a year for many years while they were alive and now I make the trip once a year to pay my respect as they are in the cemetery in Cape Charles . During my trip down I spent some time at the National wildlife refuge to photograph the different birds and wildlife, this past year 2023, was the first time that I did not see any of the wild horses but the variety of birds was amazing, this year I plain on going some time in September, you really captured the spirit of the area well,just wonder if you stayed in the park or outside of the park while you filmed this video.
I love this channelllll!!!! My I ask how you get these shots so close to the ground? Are you spreading the Satchler legs to get the tripod close to the ground? Or do you use something like a saddlebag? I love my saddlebag on the ground but I cant get any shots with motion=/ Thank you so much for sharing all these amazing tips! Must have taken years to master!
Yes I either spread the tripod legs out wide and low or use "baby legs" to get ground level. Sand bags do not work for video! you either need to be on a tripod or gimbal for smooth movement.
Great stuff Doug with some superb tips for video, we kind of do it without thinking but I’ve certainly picked up some more tips for video, as mainly a stills shooter it’s been a great reminder for me. Thanks very much, been following you for as long as I can remember but have been out of touch with your work for a while so I’m sure I’ll catchup. Cheers Rich 👍
