I watched the first BBC Life last night on iplayer (in HD.)

I'm a massive fan of the bbc nature documentaries. Series like planet earth and natures great events are simply stunning to watch if you appreciate camera work, but this episode of BBC Life I watched just took it to a whole new level.

Every single scene is mind blowing videography. Most of us would never be able to capture those sorts of images in still life yet these guys are panning in macro, filming in tiny puddles in leaves and getting in the middle of whales attacking a seal.

If you've any interest in wildlife photography I seriously recommend watching this. Every scene will make your jaw drop.

Incredible isn't it. This is very much the sort of thing the licence fee should be spent on.

Totally agree. Definitely what the BBC was invented for.

This series is absolutely amazing, the things they show are stunning. The best thiung I have seen on BBC so far.

It took them three years to film that so it is possible that the technology that they used to film it is now out of date and the next one they make will be even more astounding.

Bravo BBC.

Did you see the clips they showed on the BBC news web site of the humpback whale males chasing the female? Simply stunning imagery
