Video

Thank you!

@@WildlifeWithCookie you flirt

@@WildlifewithRich thank you sir, I’ll add that to the list of future videos for sure

Always love a nosey at what people are filming on haha

@@jayargo2109 if you’re going in the morning, I would absolutely recommend maximising the brighter lens so the 2.8 if you’re going in the afternoon then you can afford to use a longer lens and sacrifice some of the aperture however it all comes down to is whether you want to maximise the resolution of your camera but using a longer focal length to get the tighter shot or whether you’re happy to crop afterwards and get the tighter shop that way using a shorter focal length, I hope that makes sense

@@DrewWebbWild Thanks for the quick reply Drew Yes , I'm actually doing am and pm sessions, and the 40-150 was the kit I will use for the early morning slot I'll hopefully use the longer lens at some point that day too Your reply and the video have given me a kind of idea just how far the birds themselves are from the hide How far away would you say please drew ? Once again Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

@@jayargo2109 the pond is about 25 m in length and so they can dive anywhere from a couple of feet in front of you to the 25 m away however I’ve been a few times now and each time has happened in the centre of the pond which is about 10 to 15 m from the hide so really not far at all you get very close

@@DrewWebbWild Excellent Thanks Drew, I really do appreciate the info Hopefully, I'll remember to come back here and let you know how I get on 👍🏻

@@paulmcwilliams8641 that sounds like a great adventure I’ll have to check it out thank you

Not at all what the video was about. My film was about the fact that the undeniable fact conditions, climate and habitat are changing and as such our island wildlife is diversifying and we (fans of wildlife) now get to observe the natural introduction and integration of totally different species. But thanks for trying to share an irrelevant political agenda.

Well, I mean they didn’t swim across the Atlantic…

Thank you! I have more coming soon! To be honest I just don't understand the algorithm yet I'm hoping to continue to build on the videos and make them more frequently and so maybe that will help :) good luck with your channel I look forward to seeing your work!

They certainly are!

I didn’t see one until I made this film so you’re not on your own.

Or is it CZcams compression?

Thank for watching, The reason for this is the frame rate and shutter speed of the camera. it was shot at 100 fps and using the 180 rule the shutter speed would have been approximately 1/200sec. to achieve the cinematic smooth motion this would then be slowed down to 4x slower than real life but I made the decision to mix slow motion with normal speed so as not to overuse slow motion. I think with any slow motion footage there always needs to be a consideration about story and in this one I liked the mix of the two speeds but it does give that jittering affect with any fast moving subject. Good eye for spotting it!

Ah okay

Someday I will it’s just such an amazing place.

Thank you for taking the time to watch it :)

Hi Robert, We visited many places across the Yorkshire dales in this short film but all of them are within 20minutes of Hawes.

Thanks mate! Next vid colab?

Without any doubt in my mind this will always be his fault 😂

Thanks

Certainly was!

Thanks for taking the time to watch it glad you liked it! Lots more to come 😊

Thanks Andy, it was a tough one we had to think out of the box a little bit when we realised we hadn’t shot enough “talking to camera” but I think I like the post event interview styles

Unfortunately, the presence of grey squirrels is completely related to human activity. They were imported to the UK as pets and then furthermore released into parks in London and across the country.

thanks Keith! really appreciate you taking the time to view it.

its been such a rapid decline :( but the good news is they are coming back!

@@DrewWebbWild I hope so, I have nothing against the grey ones but I miss my little red squirrels garden buddies

@@maxhammer4067 it’s a moral conflict because the greys are only here because humans brought them here and they are just doing what they do but there obviously isn’t room for both species without compromise

@@DrewWebbWild Why did humans bring them here,

I believe initially they were introduced to England as pets/zoo collections and over time they became naturalised. @@maxhammer4067

Thank you I’ll try to find a way to amend that info

Hi Tom! First of all thank you for watching! The 100 to 400 would actually be perfect as I found that the 600 was a little bit tight when the birds were closer to the hide and it will give you more space. You might have to crop in in post if you want to get a real super close up, and it happens to divert the other end of the pond, but the one hundred to 400 should actually be the perfect focal are you booked in to go?

Thank Ian that’s awesome that you feel inspired to go out, have you got a particular species you’re going to look for?

Yes I am looking for Kingfishers, I have loads of static but now need to up my game to get some in flight@@DrewWebbWild

Thank you, that’s a really thoughtful comment. It’s been a long road for me to get here and I’m still learning every time I go out. Photography is such a great art form and has a really supportive community if I can help you on your journey in any way let me know.

@@DrewWebbWild Absolutely is! You already are helping, by inspiring me to go out to shoot more and that I don't need to take expensive trips abroad for quality photography (I live in Essex). I'll be sticking around Drew. Keep having fun!

Thanks rob! I’m currently on the beach in the snow filming seals for the next one :)

Thanks for taking the time to watch it :)

Thanks Dylan! Think I finally found my style as feedback is great so far.

@@DrewWebbWild well you did an incredible job and I look forward to future videos! Best of luck with your channel. Can’t wait to see the next!

The biggest of pond chickens

They are just the best aren’t they :):)

Thanks Rich! It was a really good trip to be fair the squirrels did all the work of making the video good haha

Thanks bud enjoying your NZ content when your back in the uk will have to do a colab!

thank you for taking the time to watch it Roger! I really appreciate the support.

Good spot! We drove through there we stayed in a farmhouse over by Wensleydale :)

@DrewWebbWild very familiar road, I live not too far away, great on the bike! I am curious if it's possible you could send me the exact location of the squirrels and waterfall? May take a look tomorrow with my girlfriend and our cameras :)

@@northernrider780 the squirrels were at the red squirrel sanctuary in snaizeholm if you pop into the visitor centre in hawes they will give you a map. There’s a couple of waterfalls is there one you preferred?

@DrewWebbWild ahhh I didnt realise it was a sanctuary, my girlfriend would love it there.. Sorry I should have said, the one at the end where you test the ND filters please.

@@northernrider780 Directly behind the Green Dragon Inn is Hardraw Force. It is England`s largest single drop waterfall with an impressive 100 foot drop. Hardraw, Leyburn DL8 3LZ

It would be a dream to live so close to the Smokys! Totally fell in love with that place.

@@DrewWebbWild you may already know but in Eastern NC the black bears are huge and it’s where the red wolves are being reintroduced.

@@leanngreene1650 I’ll have to check that out thank you! Any recommendations for particular places to see?

It’s a conversation starter for sure!
