Lots of walking...no talking.. and a little picture making...
I made a 4 hour hike along the lower Vikos Gorge following the Voidomatis River on part of its course... it was a beautiful day, a little cold and windy but with bright sunshine and some quite harsh shadows so the photos I could possibly make were never going to be that great.. but it's not always just about the image... chasing the image is sometimes just a good excuse to get out and what I really wanted was to walk in one of Greece's most beautiful spots and make an image if I possibly could... the point was to enjoy the day and to spend some time in nature in a beautiful part of the world... hope you enjoy.!
best wishes and thank you again for watching, liking and subscribing

Dear Friends,
Following a challenging 18 months, I am now back in Greece and trying to establish a base of operations here at Lake Kerkini.. ie. I'm trying to find a place to rent which is proving to be easier said than done.
Until I do, making any new videos will be difficult as I have the puppy in tow and have nowhere to leave him to go off and shoot.. but it won't be long and I thank you in the meantime for your patience.
For the moment, I managed to put together this little short of the ground squirrels I filmed for the Nat Geo doc which aired earlier this year... just a bit of fun but I hope you enjoy.!
thanks again
George

Dear Friends,
Review of my trail cameras footage after only 3 days & 3 nights out in the field and some interesting activity..!! Golden Jackals, Foxes, Badgers and even a Wild Boar and a little Field Mouse.

Hope you enjoy this one.. hit the bell icon for notifications so you don't miss the results of the dslr camera trap... in the next video...

Dear Friends,
This is one for those who are specifically interested in Trail cameras and camera traps...
Part 1: where I'm setting up 3 trail cameras in different locations after a different species at each location.. I use the information provided by the trail cameras to see firstly if there is any animals about.. secondly to see there movements and direction of movement through an area and thirdly to see if they have any routine.. this will provide me with the best info to see if it's worth setting up the dslr camera trap and if so where..
I'm also reviewing and running through the setup of a sponsored trailcam provided by Apeman.. the H60.. which boasts 20mp photos and 1080p video with a decent range of trigger sensor.. we'll see how well it performs in Part 2 so stay tuned..!
Link to camera on Amazon below...
Hope you enjoy watching and I'll see you all again in the next one..!
cheers

A little video from my Purely Pelicans photography workshop to Lake Kerkini in Greece where we spend 3 full days every January photographing the resident Dalmatian Pelicans in all the glory of their breeding plumage.
I run these trips every January so if you are interested in joining me next year please follow the link below.. my trips have only small groups of a maximum of 4 guests ensuring you the best access & the least disturbance to the birds.. hope to see you next year..!
My thanks also to one of my guests, Giorgos Zacharogiannis for allowing me the use of his images from the trip as I was busy shooting video and didn't have a chance to shoot stills as well... link to his channel below.. Thank you Giorgo..!
Best wishes and see you next time..!

Dear Friends,
Here's a quick look behind the scenes on my wildlife photography & filming workshops shooting the Dalmatian Pelicans of Lake Kerkini in Greece.
The sequences are from 2 days.. one from each of the tours when we had particularly spectacular light happen, though I should say we were very lucky and blessed with fantastic weather on all the days.
Hope you enjoy watching and do check out my website below if you should be interested in this or any other of my workshops.
Thanks for watching and see you next time..!
