When rigging speak in a soft, low voice and don't look 'em in the eye. They take that as a challenge.

If anyone has an old big satellite dish, it's well worth having a fiddle with it - if you position a perfectly normal lav mic - an omni works fine - at the focal point, you can experiment with dish technques for free. Even a 1.2m dish works surprising well, as long as you filter off the bass end. You can hear spoken conversation at surprisingly great distances. From my own attempts, I'd suggest that simulation is very often better, as explained above - real sounds often sound less real than they should?

Thanks for the link. I know that place very well. I have been visiting Corbett National Park for a number of years and have led still photography tours to those places. I have had some phenomenal experiences there. You may check this one: Tigers in the Dark I would have loved to join the trip, however my shooting/filming requirements are different and I prefer an exclusive vehicle. That way I not only have control over the disturbance/caused by other shooting partners, but also don't need to bear with the lower level of patience of others. There have been instances when I have waited for more than 3-4 hours for the tiger to show up and have got the desired sightings. The initial part ( one or two day program) would have been ideal for me. I would be visiting the same Corbett National park, hoping to record some great sounds. Visualising what all I need in terms of equipment. Which Parabolic microphone you have? Telinga? Cheers, Sabyasachi |

I meant the trip might be of use to you for an opportunity to learn from someone like Chris Watson. And I do know that combining such a trip with getting specific recordings (or photos or video) rarely works. You need to stay on afterwards to put what you learn into practice. I would love to visit Corbett myself, but that might have to wait a few years. I bought the parabolic reflector while I was on the Wildleye course because it was reasonably cheap, and I had a car with me so I could get it home easily. I have only an old cheap microphone to use with it at present, but wanted something to experiment with before deciding whether to get something more professional. I hope to try out both the parabolic set-up and the Rode NTG-3 on birds on the nearby estuary this winter - the biggest problem is the sound of jets going overhead to and from America.
