Spending all night on top of Chicago’s skyscrapers looking out for the world’s fastest animal, the Peregrine Falcon, hunt tropical migratory birds, eg. hummingbirds, was one of my favourite shoots so far. I was assisting long lens legend Barrie Britton for this one whlist also filming the behind the scenes segment at the end of the episode.

Filming Peregrine Falcons hunt at night had never been done before but thanks to some incredible low light camera tech we were able to capture it for the first time.
