My Best Nature Experiences of 2019 – Highlight Video

It's time for me to look back on the past year. With this highlight video, I would like to give you a Insight into my year 2019 give

It was a very eventful year in which I was once again able to see the beauty of our natural world for myself. For the first time since I started his own business as a nature filmmaker I was also drawn to working abroad.

In Cuba I had the opportunity to visit a cave with approx. Two million bats and 200 snakes to film. This was without a doubt my absolute highlight of the year. Just experiencing the cultural differences and the completely different way of dealing with our nature was worth the trip.

It did me good just to have a Experience agriculture that works entirely without pesticides and where farmers work with nature instead of against it. The result is an incredibly high number of insects, amphibians and bird species.

Tip: By the way, I took the pictures with the camera "Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5SEG-K" (is available here*). The lens was the "Panasonic H-RS100400E9" (is available here*).

But I was also captivated once again by our local nature. On the island of Hiddensee I was able to work for several days in the wild core zone of the Western Pomerania Lagoon National Park. In the Lower Oder Valley National Park I spent several cold nights at the roosts of migratory birds in the fall.

It was a lot of effort that I took on, but it was also rewarded with great close-ups. The most appealing part is the change of perspective that you experience. Spending the night unrecognized next to so many wild animalsIt also helps us to get a feel for how nature experiences us humans and what influence we have on it.

My most depressing experience was certainly having to see how a lake with approx. 20,000 cackling geese and 2,000 trumpeting cranes can become so quiet from one second to the next that you could hear a pin drop.

And all because a single Quad rider thought he would have to drive along the closed-off paths of the reserve in the middle of the night, unsettling a huge mass of animals for several minutes. In these moments, you ask yourself whether we humans can actually still be tamed by anything or whether it really is as hopeless as it sometimes seems.

In the end, however, the positive moments outweigh the negative ones for me this year and I am not giving up hope that we will realize this at some point, what natural treasures we still have on our doorstep. I look forward to hopefully similarly eventful years in the future and wish you lots of fun with my movie.

Many greetings,
