Close encounter with a bird of prey

[JoostGT3]

Yeah, afterward I realized I should have left it alone. Well, learnt that for the next time, just happy that we both came off unhurt!

As I was so impressed by the moment, I made a composite image of the separate frames, which perfectly shows the movement of the bird... The more I watch it, the more impressed I am!

Never thought about doing that!
Glad the Spark was stationary where you could get that long path!
Great idea!

 

[JoostGT3]

Too freaking cool.

Thanks!

Thanks!
It wasn't stationary though! But in photoshop it isn't too hard to do; you start with the image that you want as the final lay-out. Then you add one of the frames, make it half-opaque, and align it. Then you remove all parts that you don't need. Rinse and repeat for all frames you want to use and presto! Takes some time, but it's often not too difficult.

Haha what a beautiful bird! Any "normal" shots of it? I have always loved the idea of having a pet bird, but I always get a bit sad when I see birds sitting in cages... how does yours "cope"?

Insane, right? Like someone mentioned: "It's got a better gimbal then you!"

He flies around freely and can go outside even if it freezes, no problem. It took some training though.

That is pretty awesome, and one pretty bird! What species is it?

So the other day I was flying with my "bird" over the river near my hometown.
Just cruisin', as the weather was quite ok for the first time in days, but nothing special to film.

I spotted a real bird in the distance, and tried to get a bit closer, but I could have never dreamt of how the footage would turn out!

I hope you'll enjoy the film just as much as I did! Definitely made my day!
