    Wild Park Local Nature Reserve

    Cutting across from Ditchling Road to Lewes Road there are some stunning views and lovely wooded areas. This time I mostly tried recording some footage in the woods.

    Got so lovely audio this time without too much background noise, though in the area around Brighton this is quite hard. You have the local Brighton City Airport that creates a lot of smaller air traffic, then there is the main roads that you can hear for miles and the paths are quite heavily used during the day.

    Still managed to get a few birds on audio, which is mostly what I was trying out. I am no expert on bird song so if anyone wants to help identify what I caught the feel free.

    There are a few birds caught on camera fleetingly but mostly just insects and the plant life moving with the wind.

    You are free to use both the audio and video from this and I’ll put the audio up on the site so you can download it if you want to play with it.

  • Shoreham-by-Sea – River Adur

    Shoreham-by-Sea – River Adur

    A trip up the River Adur estuary near Shoreham-by-Sea. For the wildlife there is plenty of birds and I heard rabbits but did not see any. There is also the local Brighton City Airport with regular plane take off and landings. The lovely railway bridge over the river along with the wooden foot bridge and further up the river the road bridge.

    The footage is from a Panasonic S1H and it’s slightly graded.

    Had the camera just over a week now and really like the quality, a real step up for what I have used before. There is so much more headroom with the footage to play with it in post production. The plan is to use these nature shoots to get to know the camera and have some fun at the same time. As well as a bit of exercise.

    Think I need a better tripod, especially as it can get a bit breezy on the coast around here….. Especially with the English weather. We are in June atm with March weather.

    Oh well as my old camera tutor used to say. “Don’t let the weather stop you going out and taking photos”

    I also have a new site anaturesite.uk

    I’ll be throwing up photos and extra info about my trips on there if you want more. Hoping to throw up one of these 20min silent videos once a week and do some longer ones with audio when somewhere quiet. This one you can mainly hear the plains, cars and people on the public footpath.
