OM System heeft opnieuw een seizoen van Wild Birds Revealed gesponsord, waarin ongelooflijke, prachtige vogels centraal staan en waarin de uitmuntende natuurfotografen Tim en Russell Laman in de spotlights staan.
Na de succesvolle start van het eerste seizoen van Wild Birds Revealed, keert het Cornell Lab of Ornithology, met steun van OM System, terug met nog meer en mooier beeldmateriaal. Kijkers kunnen samen met het vader- en zoon-duo in wildlife fotografie Tim en Russell Laman op reis volgen naar Florida en Zuid-Californië, terwijl zij hun OM System-lenzen richten op kleurrijke en boeiende vogels.
In de eerste aflevering, nu beschikbaar, richten de Lamans zich op twee vogelsoorten uit Zuid-Californië: de roze Anna’s kolibrie en de paarse Costa’s kolibrie. Door Tim en Russell’s foto’s en slow-motion beelden kun je zien hoe kolibries met hun unieke vleugelslag door de lucht zweven en vrijwel stil hangen in de lucht.
“We are very excited to share our new episodes of Wild Birds Revealed,” says Tim Laman.
“This year, we are featuring some diverse and spectacular North American birds that most everyone is probably familiar with — but be prepared to be amazed,” Laman continues.
“Van kolibries en meer hebben we vogelgedrag gefilmd dat je kan verrassen. Je wilt seizoen 2 van Wild Birds Revealed zeker niet missen!”
Laman houdt zijn kaarten dicht voor precies welke vogels zullen worden getoond in de komende drie afleveringen van Wild Birds Revealed, maar ze beloven ongetwijfeld opwindend te worden.
“We are truly honored to continue our collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for a second year,” says Eiji Shirota, head of OM System Business Unit, OM Digital Solutions Corporation.
“We are delighted that, through this series, we can share the hidden lives of wild birds, the wonders of nature, and the joy of birdwatching with an even wider audience. It is also a great source of pride for us that OM System camera systems were used to capture some of the remarkable moments in the lives of wild birds featured in the series. We hope the series will deepen people’s understanding and appreciation of nature and inspire new encounters with the natural world and moments of wonder,” Shirota adds.
“The best storytelling can help people see even familiar birds in a completely new way,” says Christian Camerota, senior director of Integrated Marketing and Communications at the Cornell Lab. “By combining singular imagery with the wonder of discovery, Wild Birds Revealed has been designed to help deepen people’s love and understanding of birds and inspire them to help protect our natural world.”
While people must wait for the rest of the episodes in the second season of Wild Birds Revealed, the three episodes from season one are available to enjoy now. They focus on Tree Swallows, Ospreys, and Atlantic Puffins.
