Somewhere last June or July I saw a notice about the plight of
the rufa subspecies of Red Knot. (It may have been on the
Birdboard). It prompted me to make a little film with a conservation message that I have posted on You Tube. I did it for two reasons. One, since I had a good bit of Red Knot footage, it seemed appropriate to put it to a good use. Two, I am using a new technique that is simiar to the dry brush effect in Photoshop. A 3 minute film seemed about right to try it out on. I like it because it's interesting to watch, but also because it makes video look like it was painted, which removes the "pimples", so to speak, and sharpens up the image. Please let me know what you think.
Before you look, yes, I know that the flight shots are mostly sanderlings and turnstones, but there is a knot or two in there. Also film shot at Ft. DeSoto and Estero may not technically be rufa. I can't tell the difference, and hope the general audience can't either. The file is 87MB and may take a while to download.
Thanks for your input. Hope the link works this time:
