The filmmaking and photography is absolutely stunning. This is truly in another league.

It makes me truly sad that a video of this caliber only gets 5 bloody k views. Thank you for making it and making me smile. I was out photographing wood ducks this morning.

So gorgeous and well done in all aspects. The Torrent Duck segment was so unique and beautiful. Your calm voice is so perfect for the narration! Instant subscriber

I can't put into words what your videos do for me, pure joy! Thank you!
It inspires me, and I think your storytelling is amazing. A theme, an encounter, and then inserting the images with the white border 😍 no show, just real nature!
I’m currently in an apprenticeship as a photo media specialist. I’ve been observing birds for 9 years now, but I’m not just interested in birds, I’m fascinated by everything else in nature too!
Thank you so much, and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us!
Thanks and best regards from Switzerland😊

I'm a bit late to the party but I'm so glad I watched both episodes. Felt like I was watching a proper documentary and I can't pack all the compliments I have in my head in a single comment. Great work! Can't wait for the next episode to get inspired even more.

I get so emotional watching your videos..the sense of wonder is so beautiful...as a 63 year old i can tell you that that sense of wonder never dies.

@ayebirder 5 months ago

Tobias, thank you. I have followed you for some time now & this is the best video/episode yet. Your filmmaking & photography storytelling are exceptional and your natural way of telling the story make you one of the best. Keep up the brilliant work. Gary

Hi, Tobias, the production quality of your video is absolutely stellar. Your cinematography and the way you craft your narration are both top-tier. Watching this was a pure joy. Thank you for bringing us this exceptional piece of work.

This was a HUGE fyp pull. I just got into wildlife photography and because it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid but never did. my feed and been nothing but camera reviews and post processing “secretes the pros won’t tell you”. Thanks for reminding me why I’m doing this.

2 wonderful films and the images are breathtaking, can't wait to see part 3.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing adventure with us ❤

I truly love how you photograph the absolute beauty of the wildlife here, especially in action! You definitely got beautiful landscape photos and footage too! How inspired I am to do this too one day. The Condor, so majestic! :)

@Tronkh01 5 months ago

What a great feat you achieved here. The combination of photography, videography and storytelling is immaculate!

I absolutely love everything about this video so far and I'm in awe. It must be insanely difficult to shoot both video and photo simultaneously and combine them in this fashion. You have earned my respect (and all the youtube thingies like a sub and like)

@hyeonkyoo 5 months ago

It feels as if Patagonia’s great nature is bursting through the screen! The moments of encountering pumas and birds are truly awe-inspiring. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy the best healing journey right from my room. Thank you so much!

This is so amazing, in such a young age you have achieved that most of people can't achieve during their whole life - admiring the nature and looking the beauty in nature wonders. So inspiring.
