Просмотров 164 тыс.4 месяца назад
Narrated by Iain Glen, this independent natural history documentary investigates the Scottish Wildcat, their endangered status and the conservation efforts being undertaken to prevent their extinction. Scottish Wildcats are affectionately known as Highland Tigers. The name originates from their striped fur and that they’re not only one of Britain’s largest predators, but the UK’s only ‘big cat’...
I spent 10 months painting the world

Subtitles are approximate. I accept no responsibility for border disputes. This mural took 10 months (on and off) to complete. I would have liked to add more shading to the sea but I ran out of time. The painting measures 3.33x2.44m (11' x 8') for a total area of over 8 square metres (88 square feet) and is almost exactly 1:12,000,000 scale. Miraculously, the wall was exactly the right aspect r...

Astrophotography with the Canon 200mm f/1.8
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.4 года назад
The Canon EF 200mm f/1.8 is the fastest 200mm ever made and the longest sub-f/2 lens commercially available. It pairs wonderfully with the Canon C500mkII so I took it out to test the low light capabilities of both. Please consider supporting my biggest filmmaking adventure here www.patreon.com/CastleCrozier

I've begun a series of videos about 'legendary lenses' - unique, rare or otherwise iconic optics.

    How did the camera gear hold up with the Icing and cold temperatures? And even after brining the gear inside how did you manage not to get any water damage? Because I was thinking of going there or to Svalbard on a photo trip but was always a bit to scared about my gear with no weather sealing. Amazing video BTW

    Domestic cats are nowhere near "pea-brained". If youre going to say disrespectful crap, maybe keep your scrawny ass off of animal documentaries.

  • @Keiseru

    In Sweden we've always had lynx. I don't see why people are hesitant about reintroducing them in the UK? Hardly anyone speaks about lynx being problematic to domesticated animals here. Wolves on the other hand are more prolific in their killing of domestic animals though. Some people want to kill all the wolves, which begs the question of why we think we have the right to kill anything that gets in our way? Surely we can sacrifice a few sheep to restore natural order of prey and predator? Populations of deer and other prey animals are out of control due to the lack of predators!

    The 5 sister zoo is introducing Scottish wildcats and also Lynx's . But game wardens will always poison and trap them for posh pricks to hunt grouse and have a few whiskeys then drive the car afterwards. Or they will cash in on it and idiots will hunt them instead . They even shoot birds of prey as it cuts into their profits . Same thing in africa elephants are almost gone but twats will shoot em and also lions etc . Next to none left in the wild at all but they get hunted anyway . I wouldnt shoot anything i wouldnt eat . Cows lambs pigs rabbit , pidgeon . Things like owls and buzzards and kestrals etc no point in blasting them if you wont eat it .
