Total Raptor Experience

Wait for it, wait for it...a raptor is about to land two inches away from me! I’ve been testing out the new GoPro Quik app the past few weeks. And it occurred... to me the contrast between the subject I filmed (David Metzgar, who trained to be a master falconer over the period of seven years), the amount of time we spent filming (over the period of four days whenever the wind was good) compared to the amount of time it took me to edit this little video (not much time at all). And that’s why they named it Quik. When you don’t have your laptop and you want to do a fast, painless edit on your phone, there ya go. Royalty-free music, lots of editing tools (can even adjust video speed now), filters and themes. If you don’t have a GoPro, no biggie: You can import photos and video from any phone or camera. If you want to try parahawking for yourself (DOOOOO IT!), Fly With a Bird in San Diego is the only place in North America that offers it to the public. Will add more about it in my Instagram Stories later today. All filmed by me with the #GoProHERO9. Thanks Guy Bahringer for the fly-over shots.

Repost from @haveglobewilltravel Living in San Diego, you’re almost guaranteed a stellar sunset nightly, but it’s not every day that you experience it while picnicking with good friends on the top of the bluff, with gliders overhead and a falconer doing his thing. We got a birds-eye view (I couldn’t resist ) of this amazing show. Let’s just say, my hair moved as the falcon bombed past my head. What an experience! - # #totalraptorexperience #falconry #lajolla #sandiego #torreypinesgliderport #nature #birdsofinstagram #optoutside #lannerfalcon #soaringspiritfly #parahawking
