I also believe that visual medium expresses the visceral better than words ever can ... but only if one is willing to journey to the place where real magic happens and then open their eyes to see.
 
Great shots Jim... I have access to an incredible bald eagle habitat at Lake DeGray in Ar... so I cannot wait. And too think that I was thinking of not getting the 300mm.

Have a great holiday... you are a very lucky man.

I want to be somewhere where eagles eat fallen elk outside my window. I don't even have squirrels around here! :)

That's really fantastic footage.

Keep your eyes open because you never know ... once while walking through the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in the depth of winter, I saw a huge hawk catch and completely consume a grey squirrel on the lower limb of a old tree while moms pushed babies in strollers beneath it.

Music also can pull out an emotion that you may say is indescribable. But when you combine music and visuals together, the suspension of disbelief enters a new realm of feelings you can only experience through movie magic.
 
and I suppose that is why we feel so compelled to do it!
 
Great shots, nice lens and also the beautiful San Juan Islands.

The crows remind me of Resident Evil movie. I hope Jim is not yet infected by the virus. I guess he's the highly wanted target. But if u can clone like yourself in the movie, imagine what would become of RED ONE ?

10x the current development ?
 
Half the Red miracle

Half the Red miracle

It's truly exciting to know that I'll be getting a Red camera and what that can do to the career side of the equation.

The other half of the equation is what opportunities it provides for the more personal side of this filmmaker. Bald eagles on the San Juans. Nice.

I have witnessed the most incredible thing... (before RED). A mating pair of bald eagles soared to great heights, locked talons... and did a free fall together to about 100' before separating. It was a religious experience. Truly. You read about this stuff... I saw it.

This is a good sign...

There was always a notion, an idea, a feeling: to be behind the camera, to take all this risk, to fail, not to record the picture, you had in mind, and then, at the end, you can't fail, this is the real magic, why I can't do something else than to be behind the camera, to tell stories, to stay behind the camera is like the rebirth of purity... ok, sorry for my english, not so easy to say what I realy would like to say. If I have my RED, I will tell you my thoughts in pictures ;-)

That is a great picture Jim, it reminds me very much of back home. I am from northern california (mendocino county) and if I was lucky I would see such a sight on my way to school sum mornings.
cheers,

I've shot many rituals and sacred ceremonies in your neighborhood (Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands) with the Coast Salish and Kwagiuth Indians. After one shoot a "crow" or "raven" kept dive bombing at my head in downtown Victoria - wouldn't bother anyone else - only me. The Native Elders had a good laugh at this one.

"The Raven in Kwaguilth culture is known as the sky messenger of the animal kingdom. The Raven is famous for being a somewhat mischievous glutton. He was always out to please himself and have a good time, but his adventures always ended up bettering mankind."

Could be good fortune to have a lot of messengers around us - sometimes we just have to listen to what the message is.

Peace,
Dale
 
ah, at last, a RED camera is finally speaking my language...frankly, i could care less about nubile nymphets and hot cars...

glad you found some time to take a break and experience something sacred. there's nothing more profound than the wild revealing itself to you--having a 300mm lens on hand can certainly add to that experience...

on the other end of the natural world, i really want someone to push the macro feature on that 18-50mm and report back. been waiting and waiting.

this image is the first one i've seen to make me feel really impatient for my camera. thanks, jim, now my perfect patience is ruined. rrrrrrrr.....
