    Feeding pigeons in slow motion

    Post  Brad on Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:01 am

    Hey everyone,

    I found this neat video clip of pigeons being fed in a park in super slow motion. It's neat to see the birds actions slowed down this way and watching them like this! Smile You may need to wait for awhile for the video to load and it seems like it needs a push too at the beginning. Just fast forward the progress bar a few seconds ahead to get things moving. Wink

    I'm going to have to try doing that. I take mini movies of the pigeons I visit. I'll have to see if there is a way to slow down the video on my camera equipment/software. Interesting to see how they walk because you can clearly see it in this video. Even the way they flap their wings. You learn a lot when you can see it in slo-mo.

    Very nice to look at. I love watching them walk in slo-mo. Also, the way they look when they're hovering before landing. Just beautiful and nice to see in detail things that you'd normally miss because they happen so quickly.

    That is so interesting and very entertaining to watch--really fascinating and enjoyed--played it three times and just watched it...

    Hi Gayre...I don't think you'll be able to take slow motion videos like this. It's not software controlled, it's hardware and you'd need a camera that takes very fast, multiple shots continuously. If you'll notice, the camera used to shoot this video was a casio pro that takes 300 fps (frames per second). You'd need a specialized camera in order to make slow motion videos that are as smooth and fluid as these. Smile

    I definitely agree with everyone though, in slow motion, you really get to see all details that would otherwise be lost in regular speed. The way the pigeons were walking was very interesting! Very Happy
