I thought it was very interesting too. I have to say I felt rather sorry for Ellie at times

especially when she was using that huge lens and he had his firmly fixed to a tripod.

Good tip about the binoculars and the phone though ;-)

He makes it look easy doesn't he, but he's a pro...!

But some very good tips, inspired me to get out there, once it stops raining :-)

I watched it, it was very informative I thought. Particularly as it was mostly urban and not country photography.

Did anybody watch this last night?

If you didn't and are interested in photography it is well worth watching. It is a masterclass in filming wildlife by Simon King. His pupil is Ellie Harrison, one of the Countryfile presenters, and is in Bristol. It includes useful tips like how to use binoculars with your smartphone if you haven't got a zoom lens.

It is probably on I-player, but is also repeated next Sunday at 6.50am, on BBC2.
