A Beaver's Breakfast

A special treat this morning. Well maybe not that special. Technically it could have been much better. I was shooting stills, and when this beaver decided to park itself in front of me while munching on a branch I thought I would try a video. Totally unplanned and at a complete default setting. I could have used a much slower shutter speed resulting in lower ISO, hence a better dynamic range. A tripod would have been great, as much of it is likely on the crooked side. Also I would not have been as close to the camera and you wouldn't hear my breathing. I could have taken out the sound, but the munching sounds are likely my favorite.

 

All of the negative things aside, I think the content is interesting, and I am still thrilled to have got what I did.A bit late this year, but next season I want to get better at shooting video and plan to shoot it more. Although Stills and Video both have their place, it would be nice to have the option sometimes. Anyway, here it is the good and the bad. Please view full if you can. Hope you like it.
