Chile and Argentina Videos :D

Dear everyone :)

For those that are interested, here is my first of several videos, which I plan to make and hopefully post here, of our absolutely brilliant trip to Chile and Argentina. This video is a two-minute clip of the jaw-dropping Perito Moreno Glacier, near El Calafate in Chile :) Hope you like!

Awesome Video Dan Thank You for sharing your hoilday video with us!! Cant wait to see more! :) Looked like a trip to remember for a lifetime..

Amazing pictures Dan... for you and Heather to actually be there and see it happening must have been so exciting and awe-inspiring.  I  am looking forward to seeing more of your videos.  Thanks for sharing.. :)

Really breathtaking scenery and how lucky to have the lens of your camera pointing at the exact spot on the glacier when the ice broke away. Looking forward to future clips of your memorable South American holiday. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all Lambwatchers.

Loved the video of the glacier, it was such an amazing sight. You are very lucky to have seen it :)

Look forward to seeing more of your videos :)

Wow what amazing scenery

Hi everyone :) I have posted my second video of our trip :) It is the Beagle Channel sail. I am particularly pleased with this one! Watching this makes the memories rush back and almost brings a tear :) You need to scroll to the bottom of the page linked below to see the video:

By the way, I recommend turning on your music as the backing music I think makes it :)

This is excellent photography - equal to any nature film on television. I love the seals and penguins plus the music makes the film really beautiful. What a marvellous experience your holiday must have been - full of memorable scenes.

Aww great video :) Loved the cute penguins, what type where they?

Hiya Christine :) There are two sorts of Penguins on the clip: the majority of them are Magellanic Penguins - black and white with black beaks - but there are some at the end of the clip feeding their young and chasing off the magellanic penguin - they have distinctive orange beaks and feet and are Gentoo penguins which are only found at the tip of S. America and the Falkland Islands :)

This is a great video, Dan... well worth the three hours you spent preparing it...every bit as good as David Attenbrough... very emotive. Well done !!

What a wonderful sight for you to see for real... thank you for putting so much work into the video and for choosing the music to go with it.  I enjoyed the birds, seals and penguins.

I just posted another video that I haven't published on my website before (not sure why!!?!) of our trip. It's been on YouTube for a while so those people who are following me there will have been notified about it but somebody today commented on it which made me "re-watch" it again and it is a gorgeous video and brings back so many memories.

The overlay music was exactly what was being played quietly out of the truck as we were wandering around the area so this video is a true insight of how it was to be there at that very moment. It was truly amazing and one of those moments I will never forget.

Watching this video back sent a shivver down my spine and I shed a tear as the memories came flooding back. It was pure peace. It is the second video down on my website below entitled "Near Puyuhuapi on the Camino Austral, Chile". Puyuhuapi was the region name and the Camino Austral is the long road that runs through the area.

Dan, That glacier video was simply amazing.  But I couldn't help think of how the ice sheets are melting - our glaciers in the west are about 1/20 of the size they were 60 years ago or so.   I have photos of my Dad standing on the Colombia ice field in Alberta in 1950 and there was ice for miles in all directions.  When I saw it in '75, it had receded quite a ways and now it is almost gone.  The Victoria glacier at Lake Louise has disappeared completely.   It is very sad.  But your video is splendid.  thank you for sharing it.  What a holiday you two must have had!

Just watched the two new clips - they are wonderful. I naturally love the pictures of the seals and penguins but the pictures of the mountains with the haunting background music are really magical. It must have been a wonderful experience to see such countryside.

Dan, the scenery is breathtaking. Imagine what it was like for you and Heather to be there. "Piu Jesu" is the music on the Camino Austral video. That waterfall is spectacular. Then the glacier and the penguins and the mountains and the .... Actually, it is difficult to find the words to describe your pictures and videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
