Japan
Charles found a way to combine his life-long interest in photography with healthy hiking and video recording of wild birds. It's almost like meditation when standing, looking, listening, and waiting for periods of time. Most of these videos were taken on a Canon IVIS HV20 with a Canon TL-H43 telephoto lens. Video rendering took place in the Apple iMovie software.IBC Personal statistics:
