Tara Tanaka (flickr site here, Vimeo site here ) is brightening up our Friday with this lovely video of a determined brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) taking a bath. I’m hoping to put up one of her videos every Friday. Tara’s notes:
I’ve been slowly, painfully working my way through over 400GB of video I shot since August – trimming, naming, backing up – the “eating your vegetables” of videography. This morning I decided to treat myself to some “video dessert” and make a fun little video from something I just saw for the first time yesterday. I hope you enjoy it! Digiscoped with the GH4 using manual focus.
For best resolution (and it’s HIGH resolution!), be sure to put the on full screen (click the four diverging arrows), and then click on the “HD” feature, choosing 1080p. Comme ça:
That must have been a dirty bird!

Delightful! And an appropriate choice of music!
Amazing on full screen!
The only way to bathe.lol
Very, very nice. Thanks
Refreshing. Loved the Latin (Peruvian?) sound track.
Thanks to all!! This group got me motivated to create it.
That was lovely! Watching birds bathe is one of my favourite things. Great match between video and music too.
Would love to know the name of that Spanish guitar piece. Great video.
