Robert worked hard to bring us a cohesive narrative that beautifully captures what it means to say “I am a nature photographer”. If watching this video leaves you anxious to try some of Roberts amazing Novoflex gear, like the Magic Ball tripod head (https://amzn.to/3EfQGS4) or the amazing Schneider Pyrite 4.5/90 lens (https://amzn.to/3PdadsB) then use this link (https://amzn.to/3QQRCnD) to check out the full range of German engineered products at the Amazon Novoflex store (this is an affiliate link and I may make a small commission of completed purchases made when using this link - from Amazon, not from you). NOTE: There are two versions of this video - There was a problem uploading the original video and the resolution was not preserved - I eventually figured out how I had caused the problem and was able to re-encode the footage at full resolution - this is the resulting video. I have decided to leave the other version on YouTube though I am urging new viewers to watch this one. My sincere apologies to Robert and to all of my viewers for any inconvenience caused by my technical shortcomings.
