Ring-Tailed Lemurs. Beautiful creatures and my favourite Primate! (Panasonic G9)

A few minutes in which we share some wonderful time in the company of ring-tailed lemurs. An incredibly intelligent social animal and very cute with it!

To add to the cuteness factor there is lots of footage of young pups, one of which takes a liking to my tripod.

Shot with the Panasonic G9 camera and Olympus 40-150 F2.8 Pro Lens. Captured in Panasonic V-LOG L.

Unknown Hero. Air Vice Marshal George Lott. RAF 1922-1959.

I was honoured to be involved in the production of a book that charted the career of George Lott who entered the RAF at 15 years of age as a boy mechanic and retired some 37 years later with a rank of Air Vice Marshal. The book was written by the man himself albeit unbeknown to his family until the manuscript, documents and photos were discovered after his death in 1989.

As part of his long career George Lott commanded a Hurricane squadron in 1940 during WW2.

The book in PDF format is available for purchase at: http://www.georgelottsairforce.com

Stock Video Media – Our new venture, some outtakes and a promo video

We’ve decided to try our hand at supplying stock video footage. I’ve had requests in the past for footage but have never supplied any due to the complications of licensing and copyright.

This video features a few outtakes. Because of my insistence upon always using a tripod I quite often miss the shot which I know to some is unthinkable but my OCD insists that the footage is stable!! And then there is the lack of cooperation from some of the subjects.

We have found it very difficult to reach the 1000 subscriber mark so we can monetise the channel to recover some of the cost of producing videos. We are very grateful for all of our subscribers and we will continue to produce videos in to the future but we are momentarily biased towards building our portfolio of video clips.

We are now selling stock video footage through pond5: https://www.pond5.com/artist/stockvid…

All of our clips are also available to view at our website: http://www.stockvideomedia.com

We’d be interested in your feedback, thanks.
