WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL BANK BUG WEBSITE! Bank BUG is an innovative company producing quality products for carp anglers. From bait storage pots to high quality; fashionable clothing, Bank BUG brings ideas from the bank direct to you. We only release products after extensive research, development and field testing, this ensures Bank BUG's product quality and gives our customers total peace of mind when purchasing. Bank BUG will continue to grow and with so many new ideas in the pipeline, Bank BUG will become a brand you can trust and enjoy. NOW THE NEW HOME OF BAITCRAFT!
Baitcraft are very proud to announce our position as the official bait supplier of the LEARN TO FISH CARP ACADEMY. The Academy is a brilliant way for youngsters to gain basic skills in carp fishing and beyond. Qualified coaches, well stocked lakes and of course great bait will bring plenty of fish to the net. For full details and bookings, check out the LTFCA website HERE!
We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge well done to Bank BUG Consultant Sean Kelly on his amazing capture of Abbey Lakes' largest resident carp in the shape of Humpy at a fantastic, healthy weight of 76lb. After gaining a VIP winter ticket, Sean has been fishing on the famous Abbey complex armed with a selection of BAITCRAFT T1 products from the Bank BUG stable and has accounted for two fish over 60lb, no less than eight 50's and we've honestly lost count of fish he's caught under the magical 50lb mark, and to top it all off, Humpy from Fox Lake at over 75lb (caught 3rd March 2016). We're sure you'll agree, that's some result for a winter campaign.
Bank BUG is pleased to announce, as of January 2016, we will be the official supplier of Baitcraft baits. This will include the awesome T-1, Super K, Savay Salmon and Snowball flavours. After long discussions with Baitcraft owner and close friend Mark McKenna, Bank BUG finally sealed the deal to bring Baitcraft back! Christian Cox, Managing Director of Bank BUG commented: 'Mark has recently moved on to pastures new after producing some of the best baits to ever hit the carp scene. What Mark doesn't know about bait isn't worth knowing. He's been heavily involved in the Receptor-1 range; currently available from Bank BUG and the results are testament to Mark's knowledge and forward thinking on bait. When we heard he was leaving the bait making industry to concentrate on a new business venture, we begun talks immediately. Bank BUG will gain access to 'original' recipes and suppliers over the next few weeks, ingredient by ingredient, the baits will be rolled exactly as Mark did from day one, no corners will be cut and no stone left unturned. Mark will have the final approval on all baits before mass production. Baitcraft boilies have always carried a smell and aroma like no other, it's our sole intention to bring back that 'wow factor' when opening a bag of Baitcraft. It's the same for the fish, I'm sure they get that same feeling when eating this awesome food; carp absolutely love the stuff. It doesn't stop there; Bank BUG will also be producing matching pop-ups, wafters and glugs (Cow Cola, etc.) to compliment the range to original standards. This is a huge step forward for Bank BUG in the bait market; we intend to bring Baitcraft back with a bang. This will once again, allow anglers to fish with bait they have complete confidence in'. For regular updates, like the Bank BUG Facebook page.
Bank BUG ENTERS PHASE 3 OF DEVELOPMENT!
2016 will see Bank BUG enter phase 3 of development. Bank BUG was launched in March 2013 by founder Christian Cox and has seen a steady growth since the day they started trading. Bank BUG has released many quality products during this time including the one of the fastest selling carp products of 2015/16 - The Rock Steady Back Rest System. With the help from Daniel Winter, the company now has a large following and has just hit a milestone of 19,000 likes on Facebook. Christian has planned five phases of development to complete the Bank BUG business plan; this plan runs into 2020. Christian commented "Bank BUG has reached phase 3 quicker than expected and we're really excited about the future. With so many great companies producing brilliant products, it was hard to find where we could fit into the industry, but Bank BUG has come a long way since our initial launch and with what we have planned in the coming months, our new products will put us firmly on the map. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's had the confidence in purchasing products from Bank BUG, without our customers it simply wouldn't be possible. I would also like to thank the consultants and field testers we've attracted to the business, we don't have many, but that's the way we like it. They form the very 'close knit' Bank BUG family and are one of the most important cogs in our system. With innovative new products on the horizon, we will continue to build the Bank BUG brand." 2016 looks like being a busy one for Bank BUG. Things to look out for in 2016 include: The Baitcraft bait range - Stove Station - DEMON Chod Hooks - DEMON Cammo Hooks - Spod and Marker Holster - Clothing Range, plus much more, watch this space!

The Califone Titanium Series HPK-1020 Washable Headset with Cord is designed to teach students about appropriate volume listening levels when using a headphone. By integrating Sentinel Technology into the earcup, the volume playback level is restricted to the ASHA-recommended maximum of 85 decibels for safe listening practices (this feature can be disarmed for students with special needs).
In addition to filtering the audio volume, the HPK-1020 helps students focus more effectively on the task at hand by blocking the highest amount of ambient (external) noise of any passive headphone, which Califone has ever offered.
School budgets can't afford equipment that won't last the entire year or cause lost learning time and that's why the HPK-1020 is built using more rugged ABS plastic (even its cord is thicker than previous models). But longer lasting doesn't automatically mean student comfort, which is why the ear cushions have also been upgraded to be just as long lasting, but feel softer without the accumulated clammy feeling which can come after prolonged use.

Listen Up: Teddy Thompson's 'Bella' is beautiful music
By Elysa Gardner, Jerry Shriver, Steve Jones, Edna Gundersen and Brian Mansfield, USA TODAY
Singer/songwriter Teddy learned well from his parents, the folk-rock icons Richard and Linda Thompson.
Teddy Thompson, Bella
Teddy Thompson may owe his gifts as a singer/songwriter to his parents, the folk-rock icons Richard and Linda Thompson. But the sense of nostalgia running through the second-generation troubadour's new album, his most texturally ambitious yet, harks to artists of an even earlier era.
The gritty but lush arrangements, with their twangy guitars and sprightly strings, emphasize the rootsy sweetness of Thompson's tenor — which summons Roy Orbison's ghost more than ever on gorgeously produced tunes such as the wall-of-sound workout Take Me Back Again and Tell Me What You Want, a duet with Jenni Muldaur.
There are more modern, exotic flourishes: Breezy, buoyant Looking for a Girl could be a lost Keith Urban single. The tenderly haunted Over and Over boasts sinuous Arabic accents. In terms of sheer songcraft, Bella isn't Thompson's most consistent collection; but its sweeping, unabashed prettiness could make his talents accessible to a wider audience. — Elysa Gardner

Twenty years after their recording debut, rural Ohio-based singer/songwriters Linford Detweiler and wife Karin Bergquist and their associates have delivered a set of mature, graceful and sad songs that in a just world will win them wider recognition. Working with producer Joe Henry, they use intimate, soulful arrangements to showcase Bergquist's achingly beautiful voice. — Jerry Shriver

Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, I Feel You
The storied couple's first studio album in 10 years is a gorgeous collection of re-imagined classics with a couple of Beatles tunes mixed in for good measure. This album follows 2009's Anything Goes, which featured live performances. Both the trumpet legend and acclaimed vocalist, who've been married since 1973, are in fine form as they breathe fresh life into these songs through improvisation and new arrangements. — Steve Jones

And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Tao of the Dead
Taking cues from Pink Floyd, Rush and Kraftwerk, the Austin band pushes the proggy doom rock on its seventh album to a heady extreme, tuning the first 11 tracks to the key of D and closing the crunch and clamor with a six-movement, 16-minute coda in F. That latter unbroken orchestral jam grows wearisome, but the quartet's indulgences pay off elsewhere. — Edna Gundersen

Country music knows heartbreak and infidelity. Flirting is sometimes another matter. That's where Thompson Square comes in. Husband-and-wife duo Keifer and Shawna Thompson come across as sexy and funny on breakthrough single Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not? and genuinely affectionate on the best parts of a debut that puts a little sexy rock swagger into its country sound. — Brian Mansfield

Katie Jarvis made quite a splash with her first ever acting role in Fish Tank. A month ago, the 18-year old actress crowned a spectacular 2009 by winning the Best Newcomer prize at the British Independent Film Awards (Bifas) for her starring role as the mouthy Mia.
In the film, which is released on DVD at the end of this month, she plays a troubled teenager who has a difficult relationship with her uncaring mother (played by Kierston Wareing), but finds solace in practising hip-hop dance moves in an abandoned flat, and fantasising about her mum's boyfriend (Michael Fassbender). She celebrated her 18th birthday in June at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where Sean Connery presented her with the Trailblazer award, along with a bunch of lilies and a birthday cake, and she went on to win Best Performance in a British Feature Film.
Since then, she has been nominated for Best Actress at the European Film Awards, which pitted her against such established movie stars as Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz, and has won the Pinewood Studios Best Performance Award at the Woman in Film and TV Awards (WFTV) where she was joined by Helen Mirren.
And she has hung out with fellow newcomer sensation Carey Mulligan, who stars in An Education, at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, where they were interviewed together on stage by Leonard Maltin.
"I felt like it came quite naturally" , says Jarvis of her first film role. "The more it went on, the more I enjoyed it. When I first went into it, I didn't know anything at all about the film industry". Jarvis said her guidance has come from the director of Fish Tank, Andrea Arnold. "If it wasn't for Andrea... then I wouldn't be here today. Definitely not." Her co-star Fassbender (Hunger and Inglourious Basterds), with whom she shared a challenging sex scene, has said of the newcomer: "Katie is a very expressive person and very easy to play with as she's not really acting".
Now Jarvis has been snapped up by the same Hollywood agent as Johnny Depp and, contrary to reports that she doesn't want to continue acting, is determined to get as much mileage out of films as possible. She's currently auditioning for the part of Richard Gere's daughter in The Flim-Flam Man and has just landed a small part in another feature film, The Big Splash, as a young girl followed by a conman who is pretending to be a casting agent for a model agency. She was up to play a female thug in Harry Brown opposite Michael Caine, another mouthy part, but couldn't do it because she was pregnant. She has turned down parts too, including in Shank, a sort of futuristic Kidulthood, because she doesn't want to get typecast as a volatile teenager. "I don't want to be pigeonholed as the stroppy teenager. I'm not Mia – so I don't want to play her all the time."
Jarvis grew-up in Dagenham with her parents, Paul, a painter and decorator, and Tamara, a housewife, who divorced when she was 12. Her three younger sisters, Charmaine, 16, Jodie-May, 13, and Beckie, 11, have all watched in amazement as their sister went on to feature-film stardom overnight. Jarvis says her own background was very different from Mia's, whose life is relentlessly hard. "I'd always been taught not to scream and swear and shout back," she says. "So for me it was fun acting Mia."
She left school with six GCSEs and was planning to take hair and beauty and IT courses at her local college before she was plucked from obscurity to star in Fish Tank. A casting director discovered her at 16, while she was having an argument on Tilbury Town train station with her boyfriend, Brian Hanlon. "If this has happened to me, then anything can happen to anyone", she says in a polite Essex twang. "You never know what's around the corner,"
The slim actress is sitting in the Curzon Soho cinema in London, still wearing her coat and eating a sandwich. "It's nuts. Do you know what I mean? A lot of people think what's happened to me is surreal. It doesn't seem real sometimes. It feels like a dream."
Although she has stunned fans and critics with her debut performance in Fish Tank, Jarvis appears under-confident as she talks about keeping her fingers crossed for new parts. "I don't think the film will change me. I think it might make me a better person. Acting brings out the best in me. Before Fish Tank I was at school and didn't have the guts to do drama. This has boosted my confidence right up."
Arnold, who won the Cannes Jury Prize in 2006 for her debut feature Red Road, had initially looked to cast a trained dancer in the role of Mia, but she couldn't find anybody right. Then when Jarvis turned up for her audition, she refused to dance for it. "We had to leave the camera in the room and go out. She hates dancing," said Arnold.
It is surprising Jarvis even made it to the audition in the first place. She thought it was some kind of joke when the casting agent discovered her on the train platform.
"There weren't a lot of people at the first audition so I wasn't nervous, but at the second it became a bit more scary as there were a lot of girls. I'd never done any dancing or anything like that and I didn't think I had a chance."
During filming, Rashad Omar, the sound recordist, said of Jarvis: "I thought she would walk after a week. It's amazing how she picked it up."
Her only downfall during filming was her penchant for new shoes, and balancing work and play. "When you've done film before, you know how to pace yourself at the weekend," said Arnold. "But Katie'd go out and party or buy loads of shoes with the money that she suddenly had."
It was a demanding shoot, thanks in no small part to a sex scene with Fassbender for which she had little time to prepare. "Andrea made me aware from the start that there was going to be a sex scene. But I didn't know who it was with, because she doesn't let the cast read ahead in the script," says Jarvis. "I only found out the night before that it was going to be with Michael. I was up all night feeling absolutely terrified, but Michael made it easy for me. He turned it into a laugh and a joke. It was as though it was like any other scene we had done. He is so down-to-earth, funny and easy to get on with."
Since Fish Tank she has played the young mother in a 10-minute silent film, Perfect Day, with the Skins actor Merveille Lukeba. It aired in December on Sky as part of a collection of short films, "Ten Minute Tales", which also starred Bill Nighy and Natascha McElhone.
Otherwise she has been keeping a low profile because, just four days before Fish Tank premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, she gave birth to her daughter, Lillie-May. Lately Jarvis's life has revolved around feeding the ducks with Lillie-May, now nine months old, near the two-bedroom rented flat in Basildon that she shares with her boyfriend .
She watched online as her co-stars posed on the red carpet at Cannes because she didn't want to leave her newborn baby. At the time, Arnold said of Jarvis: "I don't think she really understands what this means. Festivals and things are not really part of her life."
Still, she entered the limelight with a bang at the Bifas just before Christmas when, in a long black Armani dress, she joined director Arnold, who also won Best Director for the film at the ceremony. "I'm so happy, I can't believe it," Jarvis said. "A long time ago I didn't think I would end up here. I'm speechless. I don't know what to say."
Now Jarvis says she's never happier than when she is in front of the camera. "I have never enjoyed myself as much as I have acting. Nothing compares to it," she says. "Everybody gets so close on set. It's like a little family unit. It's horrible to then say goodbye. But it's lovely at the end of it to have something to look at that we've all done together."
However, Arnold didn't think her new star had the acting bug after Fish Tank. "She has got an agent and she's been up for a couple of things and got them but I don't know whether she wants to continue. I think she does but she's just had a baby and that's a whole other life."
But this couldn't be further from the truth, as Jarvis is impatient to conquer the film industry, with the help of her boyfriend, who will have to play househusband and look after their baby.
"Before I was doing nothing all the time. It made me learn that I could do things if I wanted to. Now I want to make the most of it. It shows you don't have to go to drama school to get into it, but I think I was one of a kind. I don't think anyone else will get picked off a train station."

My wife and I stayed there this past weekend with some close friends of ours, another couple. We were amazed at the location, views, amenities, decor, everything. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. The owners are super friendly and professional and make everything easy. If your in need of a romantic getaway, family getaway, or any reason at all to getaway, this is the place. We loved it and will be back. Lisa thanks again!
Being close friends with the owners I have had the privilege of staying at The Butterfly Chalet many times. Each time is always a great relaxing time with everything you could ever need on site. Its such a beautiful home and I love the area! So many things to do and explore right there in the area! Its the high light of my year when Im able to get there for some R&R ! Highly recommend this one of a kind vacation home!
This was a wonderful place for my family this past weekend. We have talked about doing this for years. My Mom came across this when we were looking at other locations and this could not have been better. The house itself is wonderful and we are so thankful to the owner. Everything you need is in this house. Lots to do all around. The kids had a wonderful time and we did not want to leave the view from the porch. I would suggest this to anyone. Thank you!!! Tammy
I came here with 8 coworkers for a work ski retreat, and we had a fantastic time. The house was beautiful, very clean, and extremely comfortable. It had gorgeous views of the mountains, and was very close to the Canaan Valley slopes. We had a little bit of trouble getting out of the driveway one day with our 2WD cars, but other than that there were no issues whatsoever. Would definitely return again!
This is the perfect place to stay! Location was excellent!
We traveled with a 7 yr old with special needs. The gradual ramp and no stairs at the entrance was perfect for him.
I think we picked a great time to come also. We pretty much had the entire resort to ourselves. Meeting new people is always nice, but it was a welcome change to just kick back and relax.
It met all our needs. Family consisting of my husband and I and our 3 adult children and daughter in law. Also 3 grandchildren 7, 5 and 9 month's.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! Hayden the 5 yr old keeps begging to go back to the "vacation house". I'm sure if the other two could talk they would be begging to come back as well.
This was approximately our 15th trip to the area, but by far the best accommodations! Thanks again! We will be back!
My wife and I traveled here for our wedding anniversary just for some alone time. What a wonderful place. I use Homeaway for traveling several times annually. Let me say, this home is one of the best. As some reviews will probably mention, if you are a follow your GPS person, forget it for getting here. Once I turned off I-81, it did me no good. I was glad I printed directions from the lodge website and decided to use them for the trip. When we first got off I-81, I thought, oh no, single lane mountainous road for two hours…ugh. But after a while it opened up into a 65 mph 2 lane road that hardly anyone was on. Apparently, WV is building a lot of new roads? Of course, this is if you use the lodge directions (or mapquest). If you use GPS, you will be on single lane 35 mph roads for a very long time. During booking, Lisa was wonderful to answer all our questions and everything was as promised when we arrived. The house is AMAZING!!! It looks like a model home. I want Lisa to come decorate my house when we leave. This house has the perfect feel of luxury mixed with comfort and warmth. I know people say the pictures don't do it justice, but they really don't. The home sits off to the side of the other lodge homes so it is mostly by its self and private. This home is the biggest style the lodge offers and I am willing to bet the most premier one here. The lot is very nice and well landscaped. The view from the great room, which lead out onto the deck is to die for. The first night, we sat out on the deck just enjoying the view and the weather. All the furniture, from the chairs to the beds etc was very comfortable. The kitchen is definitely gourmet style and stocked with plenty of utensil and supplies for cooking at home of interested. There is an extra refrigerator as well. All the bathrooms and bedrooms are comfy and gracefully decorated. If you have used homeaway before you probably know there always seems to be one or two rooms in the house that is just a kids room with a couple beds or cheap furniture etc. But not this house. There is plenty of room. The internet worked great. My wife made steaks on the grill and mash potatoes for dinner one evening. We had everything we needed. The appliances are awesome. I really liked the arctic compartment on the refrigerator for keeping beer mugs cold. There is a Sac n Save just a short 5 min drive to town that has everything you need at decent prices. Try the Ice Cream shop for treats & Sankofa Massage for massage.

Nottingham Forest sacked their manager, Colin Calderwood, after a 4-2 Boxing Day drubbing at home to fellow strugglers Doncaster. The result saw Forest remain in the bottom three of the Championship, where they have won just four times this season.
First-team coach David Kerslake has also left the club and chief executive Mark Arthur said: "We're grateful to Colin for his efforts over the last two and a half years, in particular for leading us to promotion from League One. But we're in a results business and it's imperative that the club stays in the Championship."
Doncaster, who started the day bottom, raced into a three-goal lead thanks to goals from Paul Heffernan, Martin Woods and Richard Wellens. Heffernan's second gave Rovers a four-goal lead before Forest pulled two back through a Sam Hird own goal and Joe Garner.
Birmingham City beat Ipswich Town 1-0 at Portman Road, thanks to a James McFadden penalty on 39 minutes, after a handball by Ipswich defender Moritz Volz. The win puts them level on points with second-placed Reading.
Crystal Palace moved into sixth after a 3-1 win over Norwich at Selhurst Park. Norwich veteran Gary Doherty equalised Jose Fonte's opener before Fonte scored again. Danny Butterfield then struck an 18-yard volley past David Marshall to put the result beyond doubt late on. Nicky Maynard scored twice as BristolCity defeated Watford 4-2 at Vicarage Road. Maynard took just 23 seconds to strike and then did it again on the half hour. Grzegorz Rasiak pulled one back for Watford before Marvin Elliott replied for City. Elliot then scored an own goal before Dele Adebola's injury-time strike eased the away fans' nerves.
Charlton dropped to the foot of the table despite twice coming from behind to draw 2-2 with QPR. Nick Bailey scored both for the Addicks while Dexter Blackstock and Lee Cook notched for QPR.
Swindon Town have announced Danny Wilson as their new manager.

Tanaka shuts down Mariners
SEATTLE — There was a reason pitcher Masahiro Tanaka fascinated major-league teams all offseason. There was a reason he commanded so many suitors and, ultimately, a $155 million price tag from the Yankees, not to mention the $20 million they forked over to his Japanese team.
The Mariners and the 28,434 people in attendance at Safeco Field on Wednesday got to see that reason for themselves.
Tanaka is the favorite to win Rookie of the Year and on the short…

This review is from: ZyXEL PLA5205KIT AV2 AV600 Powerline Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Up to 600Mbps - White
Pros: It works. Plugged the two units in and within about 30 seconds, I had them connected together and communicating.
Cons: Slow. I was hoping I could get better speeds than the wireless in my home. It says 600Mb/s on the packaging. I unplugged my wireless router from my switch, and plugged this device in. I was able to copy files at 6MB/s with my wireless and only got about 3MB/s with this device. Definitely not as fast as the purported speeds on the package. I realize there are many factors involved when using your house electric lines, but the bottom line is that the speeds were far from what I was hoping for. This would be a good choice if you were not able to get wireless to a location for some reason I guess.READ FULL REVIEW

Joining him on the board will be Hermann Hauser, best known as the boffin who founded Acorn Computers.
In between holidays on his 36ft motor-cruiser Sunset Touch, Mr Millar has been pottering about in his old office in Dundee, which was loaned him by Tesco chief Sir Ian MacLaurin.
Greg Dyke, the former LWT man who now heads Pearson TV, is well known for his love of football. Yesterday his passion apparently got the better of him. At Pearson's results meeting yesterday the bearded dynamo only stayed for half an hour, answered questions tersely and then scarpered to watch a footie match. Or at least this is what Lord Blakenham, the Pearson chief told the assembled throng.
In fact Mr Dyke was heading off to another job. He is currently completing a series of sports progammes for Channel Four and yesterday had to go racing.
Michael Page, the financial recruitment specialist that yesterday announced a 124 per cent rise in pre-tax profits to £8.6m, is bringing in new blood to its boardroom. Out goes 70-year-old Lord Rippon, to be replaced by fellow Tory stalwart Lord Wakeham. Sticking with the party was not deliberate, insisted chief executive Terry Benson. The Government's former Mr Fixit was "first and foremost a businessman, a chartered accountant, well respected in Europe - and younger than Lord Rippon." Not that much younger - Lord Wakeham is 62. He joins as a non-executive director next week and becomes chairman in May.
There will be a distinct sense of dj vu at the Broomball finals at the Broadgate Centre in the City tomorrow. The final is between the same teams as last year, the IBJ Moosemen and the Lasmo Oilers. So far only one team, the "Flip Flops" from Godsell Astley & Pearce have breached the Moosemen's defence - so don't expect a high scoring game.Reuse content

Yeah, cool is right. I think in this aspect (custom authorization chooser), the ability to do authorization at the sitemap level could be considered covered. Now is it reasonable to provide a basic authorization chooser for the distribution? -david

Aircraft Sales & Management
Many customers who regularly lease private jets are considering operating their own aircraft. However, their own flying hours are often insufficient for a reasonable utilization of the aircraft from an economic point of view.
And having to deal with the commitments involved in the operation of one's own aircraft often appears to require too much effort. This is where the AirGO concept comes into play.
AirGO is the only Piaggio Avanti operator in Europe which operates Piaggio Avantis of different owners in a pool and charters these aircraft to third parties upon request.

National Geographic drones help capture Serengeti wildlife close up
What's the safest way to get close up photos of lions on the Serengeti? Send in a robot. And an aerial drone. That's what photographer Michael Nichols and his crew did, producing incredible images for a National Geographic feature. From a nearby car, Nichols and crew directed a small remote-controlled robot outfitted with a Canon camera toward lion prides as they hunted, slept and well, do everything lions do. And we do mean everything.
|Photo by Michael Nichols. A remote-controlled robot was used to get this shot.

We highly recommend taking a look at the rest of the published photos from this project, as well as the interactive feature on the National Geographic website.

They explain the challenges with using flash for the night pictures in the full image gallery - but the infrared seemed to work great.
"Everything was being destroyed by curious hyenas and hippos angry after being flashed in the face, so we told the cameras not to take pictures at night ... just at dusk and dawn"
-Todd @ Visit50.com
Awesome shots! They were originally posted in 2011 on Nat Geo's site.
-Todd @ Visit50.com
Don't the camera drones make a heckuva lot of noise? Hardly compatible with "candid" shots. Imagine one that lands (or malfunctions) near some irate beasts. There goes a $7k drone.
The robots present a similar dilemma. "OK, all you cats. Shots over. Go away. Hatari want camera back. Bwana."
Hmm, lets see: internet nerd on some photography equipment forum telling National Geographic photog how to do his job, versus National Geographic photographer actually *doing* the job and bringing back excellent results with the same "camera drones" that the blowhard internet nerd says is "hardly compatible with 'candid' shots." Uh, I think I'll side with the National Geographic photographer.
BTW, some of these photos were done with a DSLR mounted to an R/C car that they remotely "drove" into position to take the shots. That's why a lot of these shots are so low to the ground. Basically just a fancy toy remote controlled car. Not a whole lot of noise there, especially if it's stopped.
I don't see anything in the article about using drones. Any more information on that?
Here's another Verge post that better explains the use of drones: http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/18/2645097/national-geographic-living-with-lions-micro-copter
Some of the critical information is in this Verge story, which has a lot more detail than the Verge link Allison posted. For one thing, it says the lions acclimated to the drones much faster than they ever did to humans.
"There was also concern over how the lions would react to the drone and robot, but according to Nichols, they adapted rather quickly. 'After only three visits they didn't care about that tank," he told the magazine. "At first they were cautious... But after five or six times they were all falling asleep with it.' "
This use is interesting.
I hope we don't end up with somebody strapping a GOPRO to a prey animal.
They've been doing that for a while:
this is my wish, wild life photography
Many years ago they used a similar method on a David Attenborough series, the camera was hidden in a mobile rock called 'boulder cam'.
They did a number of series using this camera and it provided some amazing footage.
These shots would appear to be using a similar method first used back in 1995!
It has only taken the photographic world 18 years to catch up!
Catch up? I really doubt the "boulder cam" could move. These cameras are mobile.
I bet that drone cannot run as fast as me if a lion or elephant was chasing it.
how are the getting the lighting in there with the drones? other drones?
Never been much of a wildlife fan, but wow, the interactive website has the most amazing wildlife footages I've ever seen. The closeness makes it better than any documentary shot at a distance.
I think I never scan make pictures like those, because I'm too old to go to the Serengeti. But I do love these pictures. I do realise I can see pictures my grand parents never saw, or could see. I must be a lucky guy, to live in this age.
Why are animals still being photographed? We need stories and, as David Attenborough has shown, those are told beautifully on film.
Why are the lions not scared of the drones or robots? In one of the pictures on the NatlGeo site you can see the shadow of the robot. It's close.
Drones are pushing the envelope of accessibility where no one has captured an image angle before.
It's open season as to who will be the first to exploit this advantage on other such "never before done" scenarios, as this article have shown.
A bit creepy and voyeuristic, no?
No, but it sure does have potential....

Cars thought to be junkyard dogs 50 years ago are going for bank at auction. But not just any cars—the right cars. To find out which of today's autos will be the hot vintage movers in their categories 50 years from now, we turned to McKeel Hagerty , who runs Hagerty, the world's largest insurer of vintage autos. Jump in as he tells us which rides to drive and which to put in storage. Advertisement 2015 FERRARI LAFERRARI (Pictured above)"Ferrari has held bragging rights for the greatest supercar in various eras," says Hagerty. "This is the pinnacle of the Ferrari in the hypercar era." Base price for this 963-horsepower hybrid: $1.4 million. 2014 BUGATTI VEYRON"It's a technological tour de force, with over 1,000 horsepower," says Hagerty of this 253 mph French machine. "And the production run is incredibly low." Pictured: the Veyron GS Vitesse, about $2.5 million 2015 MCLAREN P1"McLaren owns the emotional high ground in the supercar world," says Hagerty. "There's just something about this brand that people love." Base for this wildly cool British hybrid rocket: $1.15 million. 2015 PORSCHE 918 SPYDER"To have the first-ever sub-seven-minute verified lap time at the Nürburgring puts this right up there as the greatest performer right now," says Hagerty. Base for this hybrid Porsche: just under $900,000. 2012 LEXUS LFA"A gorgeous car, and the only Japanese car on this list," says Hagerty. Only 500 were built, and it's no longer in production. "It's an outlier, and it belongs in the club." Base in 2012: $375,000. 2015 CORVETTE Z06"I don't know anyone who has driven it yet," says Hagerty of the Z06, which was recently unveiled in Detroit. "But this is Corvette's first legitimate move into the supercar realm." Base price: TBD. 2010 TESLA ROADSTERIn the future, people will look to this era for the first great alternative-energy cars, says Hagerty. "I'm 100 percent convinced we'll be buying Tesla Roadsters at auction." Base in 2010: $109,000. 2014 FORD MUSTANG COBRA JET"In 50 years," says Hagerty, "the Mustang will turn 100. People will look back and ask, 'What are the great moments?'" They'll mention this 525-horsepower "off-the-shelf" drag racer. Price: $98,000. 2014 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA"I think this all-new Carrera is the ultimate 911," says Hagerty. "While it's fun to think about the faster versions, this car is so good, it will be collectible for a long time." Base: $84,300. 2013 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS GP"There has always been a place for smaller cars with smaller engines that give you a great experience," says Hagerty. This ride is Mini's most exclusive high-performance offering. Base: $40,000.This article appears in the April 2014 issue of Playboy.
