Just testing out my new home-made motorised slider. I’m pretty pleased with the result. Still a few improvements to be made to the design but overall It’s going well. #wildlifefilmmaker #gh4 #panasoniclumix #konova #blackdownhills #wildlifefilming #bts #behindthescenes #camerahack @panasonicgh5
If anyone is wondering how I collect my fresh water invertebrates for photography then this is it. This is kick sampling. Very straight forward, you stir up the river bed with your foot and let the current sweep the sediment and hopefully some inverts into the net. Here I find a flattened mayfly nymph, for the resulting photo slide across. #freshwater #entomology #insects #invertebrates #mayfly #macro #wildlife #wildlifefilming #wildlifephotography
