This is a little video I collected footage for over about a 8 or 9 month period, and my first crack at any sort of wildlife video. I spent quite a bit of time on it, and I'm happy with how it came out, but I'd love to get feedback from all of you.

The Maumee River flows from Fort Wayne, Indiana and through northwestern Ohio into the Maumee Bay at Lake Erie.

Video shot with a Canon T2i.
Time lapses shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D70s.
A wide variety of lenses were used, from ultra cheap to expensive L glass.

Cut in Final Cut Pro and graded with Magic Bullet Looks.

This is so gorgeous I don't know what to say. Seriously, I'm so impressed. Immediately favorited. I'd probably have to calm down and watch it again for any kind of criticism, sorry.

What was the widest lens you used?

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment!
The widest lens I used was the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L, but I think I only ever used that for the time lapses (on the wide end at least). Otherwise the widest lens I used for the video was a Tokina 24mm f/2.8 prime and the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L.
