Nice collection of shots. Focusing must have been difficult on some of those fying shots. It looks like vimeo encoding broke up a bit on the high motion scenes but I bet the originals looked great.

Mark Williams, yes, the original stuff looks (for the most part) pristine. Too bad Vimeo has to re-compress everything.

Dale, they were over cranked.

Very pleasant to watch, Mark. So much diversity above and below eye-level. You must have miles of eye-level footage as well.

What was the first big bird of prey? The second, immediately after it, was a bald eagle for sure.

Mark, I really enjoyed that. Nice touch to be able to compose your own music.

Thanks Alan, in Eric Satie's autobiography he went on for a while about how all the pieces he'd composed were actually just different parts of the same piece, all connected you know, not just unrelated bits and pieces. Anyway I thought that made a lot of sense, and have since thought about my own projects in the same way. So, if a piece of music develops around the same time as a short I assume that they're connected, which obviously they are, whether or not it's obvious to me. Not that it always works...

Great looking stuff Marc. Just bought an EX1r to do nature footage and what you are doing is very encouraging!
