The knot spectacular
Enjoy the experience of a lifetime, the gathering of the knot at Snettisham.
Capturing these images, of a true autumn bird spectacle, wasn't without its challenges as this amazing scene of perhaps 120,000 knots only has the potential to happen maximally on a handful of mornings a year. During the highest spring high tides, tens of thousands of wading birds are pushed off their feeding grounds and on to the banks and islands to roost, and these images were captured there by the cameraman who had been waiting in position since before dawn. Filming this scene involved not only being in the right place at the right time, but also hoping that the fickle hand of the weather dealt the crew a dry day.

Autumn colours
Tracking time-lapse, elapsed time and satellite imagery capture seasonal change.
A motion control system (MOSYS) allowed simultaneous panning, tracking and time-lapse in the blossoming and leaf growth sequence. Autumn's temporal advance is illustrated here spatially, through an elapsed time technique. Images taken at different stages of the change are blended together to create a single continuous sequence of the colour sweeping across the forest.
