Ospreys live firing at Donna Nook

Post by DaveChapman » Thu Aug 07, 2014 5:41 pm

My friend and videographer , Paul Bunyard of http://www.wildaboutimages.com took some fantastic footage from Donna Nook range this last week, shot in the pitch dark at 1/25th and 10000 iso you get a feel of how cool it must have been to have been there.
Here is the vid, hope you enjoy as much as I did

Wow, that's an amazing video - i'm guessing going by the combination of the audio and video footage that not every round fired is a tracer? It sounds like it's firing a lot more rounds than the tracer rounds that are visible in the video, which is what makes me wonder
