Mike Linleys a nice bloke. I've been tutored by him on a couple of courses and his experience, stories and skills are top notch.
Should be good ! |

I have recieved the DVD and had a quick look. I does go from the very to basic end upwards but I have already picked up a couple of very good tips.
It lasts way over 2hrs and I have only had a quick look to date. I will give a more comprhensve report later next week. Regards Mick |

Well that saves me time and money, thank you, Mick.
I have more than enough dvds to plough through for tips without adding ones I don't need. It is tedious to find massive amounts of advice and software on editing in post and sweet f.a. on shooting tricky subject-matter. Dear old marketing is alive and well ... never mind learning how to avoid the problem, darling, just look at our fantastic solutions [after you've made the same silly mistakes again] ... I'd guess that if it wasn't for some thoughtful and helpful members of DVInfo I'd still be shooting stills of flowers in my backgarden or on high mountains. Perhaps it's time to start visualising how I might put together a selection of clips to illustrate what I'm learning ... I'm just visualising, just wondering, no more than that, that's me; full of wonder; spin it and you may say I'm a wonderful guy, oh thanks, you're too kind ... No, on second thoughts I'll ask the only other member I know who shoots and shows bird flight, Don DesJardin, now there's a chap who has learned a lot I want to learn ... but how to drag the thoughts out of him and make them sing, there's a challenge, two challenges. And then to compile (& illustrate?) a readable list of all the good tips relevant to bird videography elicited from people like you Mick over the years ... dammit, there's only one way to avoid this long and painstaking task ... let's elect a committee |

Just got mine a few days back and it is informative. BUT no as good as I wanted it to be. Perhaps if it was a series of DVDs, it would have been perfect but the price will not be the 40 pounds.
That said, I am doing this for a living so much of what Mike was talking about is familiar to me and for a beginner, this DVD can be a good introduction to wildlife lifemaking. Cheers Han |
