![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 71 วันนี้!! คู่เอก "ทรงชัยน้อย vs รักษ์"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_AGPnq2p6Js/mqdefault.jpg)
She's so beautiful, the slow motion capture of her wings looks like a beautiful expressive dance being performed
"She's ready to fly, isn't she?"
"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I AM, NOW BRING ON THE MEAT!!!"
Tries to feed the Goshawk a water balloon.
'So you have chosen death'
The legs are so much longer than I thought.
You should see the Eurasian sparrowhawk, lol
Well, you're in for a treat then... We've got a special peregrine and raven film coming up, filmed from a tracking vehicle, make sure you subscribe and watch out for it! Also make sure you check out the films we made with Red Bull, including the view from the back of Moses the peregrine...
guys, this is really amazing and this mustve taken a lot of time so i give you guys respect :0
And thank you ever so much for enjoying it!
I'm sure she thought that was one juicy prey - blood spraying out all over the place. lol
Oh my goodness, ravens, I can't wait. Watching out for that and more! Absolutely incredible animal videos, but you already know that. These detailed renders are invaluable for any artist and I couldn't thank your team more for your time and dedication to bring this footage to us. A+
I like that at 5000fps you can see the feathers turn out and as she brings her wings back up they turn back one by one before she flaps again. I wonder if you can see some interesting flight patterns at higher speeds.
wrong frame rate, but you're right
Throw a distraction at the same time to see her choice would be nice. Or make her catch something inside a frame that she need to fly through
+TheSwampHumanoid This is the same goshawk they used in the "goshawk flies through hole" video. The outcome is blatantly obvious-the she will succeed.
this is an amazing video. You can really see how the bird is swinging herself up to put as much momentum into the first impact of the lure and all of the minute adjustments to her wings and tail to keep her on course.
It happens all the time with raptors but all too quickly to really appreciate it. Thanks for doing this video.
The complexity of the movement of all the wing's joints and feathers is mind-blowing and can only really be appreciated in a video like this. The bird's wings change shape and orientation in endless ways. No wonder human attempts to build machines to imitate this have so far failed miserably.
Some of the best photography I have ever seen. Wonderful!!!!!!!
Beautiful!
Hawks are pigeon assassins.
I would love to see what the Goshawk does in the wild, catch a bird in midair. In sloooo-mo of course. Feathers flying everywhere!
The human eye alone could never captured these fantastic images, Thankyou so much
Simply fascinating!
Wow. Thanks. Glad you loved it!
Amazing shots! I'd love to see top down footage too, the dynamics of those top feathers as the airflow changes is one of my favorite things in nature :)
What I see is the hawk slamming on the brakes at the final moment; all that kinetic energy gets transferred to the talons, like a 18 wheel truck slamming into a VW bug.
OMG, that bird is beautiful, gorgeous. You have made a amazing job.
I would love to see a snowy owl in slow motion like this.
This is THE MOST INCREDIBLE video I have EVER seen!! I have hawks around my house here in South Carolina, USA...It is just amazing to see this bird in flight and the way each movement is carefully crafted to make the most of her catch! YOU GUYS ROCK!! I am sharing this video with the world!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!
Best video ever hope you guys will be popular soon :) and put ads I would press on it, for awesome vid like this
beautiful bird!
That shot at 5:30 was really special. Good work, dudes!
Funnily enough, we have been filming hummingbirds lately... keep an eye out for something coming up.
how many fps did you capture that hummingbird slow mo video?
I've always been fascinated with birds of prey, the always seem to pinpoint their attacks on prey so perfectly *-*
lovely. Thanks a lot.
Amazing
Yes I remembered it before the purple candle and the mouldy macca
I'm reading MacDonald's "H is for Hawk" so was delighted to find this video ... I've never understood people taking pleasure in seeing predation, so am very glad you did not use a live animal, or even chunks of dead animals... That said, I was surprised that this supreme predator was willing to repeat "capturing" non-prey objects.
Beautiful moving book. That is why I'm here too!
This should be in 3D, and then shown on the tv's in shops. Would be so amazing!
A Kingfisher would be amazing!
this is absolutely spectacular! i live just south of algonquin park so large birds (eagles, hawks, turkeys, vultures, etc) are not a rare sight but it's breath-taking to be this "up close and personal" - next time i see a black dot in the sky, i'll know what is happening!
very good vid have you got anything on their maneuverability
Hope you've checked our rattlesnake! It was an early Slo Mo for us - look out for episode 3 in the channel!
Amazing video, next time you should go for >9000!
Amazing. I think one of these (or a cousin?) was staying with us in the Mojave Desert. (S)he had a problem with one wing, so stayed very close, but didn't have trouble catching prey. Used to really enjoy spending time with her as she sat in a tree outside the house, looking in. She seemed as fascinated by me as I was by her.
The part that amazed me in the final 5000fps shot, was that the Goshawk did not just pop the balloon. She caught and carried the entire popped balloon's rubber casing in a fraction of a second DURING its explosion.
3:57 cooooooooool
If you really want to push the envelope, I believe the pistol shrimps' stike is the fastest thing in the animal kingdom. You might have to film at 10, 000 fps or more to see the cavitation bubble it produces.
Awesome fun
Awesome show!!
We have some ideas:
1. Cat preparing to attack or being dropped from a height and landing on its feet.
That would look amazing in slow-mo
2. A mosquito piercing the skin and sucking blood!!!!
We get these in Wyoming, but I'll tell you what--I've never seen them like this 0_0
Great video. The last time she hit that water balloon and she hardly got wet, just a little on her tail feathers.
I'd love to see the rattle of a diamondback going off at several thousand frames per second. Maybe throw in a few strikes as well for good measure.
over 9000!
Is it possible to photograph these birds against a neutral grey background rather than black? The video is really great and I think you would see even more of the bird against a lighter background - thanks for sharing your work.
I like your dino shirt.
That was awesome
i'd think the "cheetah of the sky" would be the peregrine falcon...
you guys ever thought of doing anything with the archer fish? you know, the species that shoots water from their mouths at insects on leaves to knock them into the water. might provide some good footage.
A secretary bird on this would be wonderfull
I love this ambient soundtrack. Can you tell us the name of the music?
Holy...
What is the ambient soundtrack at the beginning of the video?
I would like to see captured on film a stiletto snake striking. How high can you shoot? I'm not too up on top-speeds, but I'd shoot it as high as you can go!
Awesome videos guys! Any chance of a slow-mo capture of a kingfisher breaking a water's surface? Maybe even a hummingbird hovering in one spot :]
1:55 that bird has bling :D
These birds must see in slo mo
Slow motion Peregrin Falcon!
I don't know how high, but what about a sting rays attach mechanism?
If you guys like these you should check out the slow mo guys.
5:38 "what kind of sick game is this?"
one video i saw was a viper striking a water balloon in slow mo - try that
And people say feathered dinosaurs aren't cool.
slightly unnerving as it flies head on :D
8 balloons gives dislike ))
Hate goshawks, but love the slo-mo of the beautiful flight feathers and the way it maneuvers toward the target. Great video.
Why do you hate goshawks? And why do you have a picture of a crossed out wind-turbine? Ur clearly a poorly informed person...
Oh, live prey at 7500 would rock.
It looked like she learned to keep the water balloon away from her to keep her from getting herself wet
Get the talons closing at 10000
This is the same goshawk in the infamous "goshawk flies through hole) video.
why infamous?
Karin Larmont Because it has a lot of views
infamous means it's popular for bad reasons. you mean famous?
Karin Larmont yep
At 1:27 it looks like a flying sloth
Sparrow hawk?? 8000fps
100th comment
How fast can one of them fly?
I think 50mph
animators!!!! pay attention!!!!!
Why am I born as human :( ?
A great question my friend, the answer according to Ramesh Raskar is one trillion FPS (1,000,000,000,000 frames/sec)... check out the video, /watch?v=Y_9vd4HWlVA
Beautiful!
