During Trek 01, I wouldn't say 'shocked', but I was definitely amazed at just how close I got to the chipmunks I was recording. They were mulling around beneath a bird-feeder, and I just walked right up to them and dangled the mics above them. Even though I was inches from them, they didn't seem disturbed or frightened because they kept going about their business. They were sniffing around my shoes as if they really didn't care that I was there recording them.
During Trek 02, nature was slightly against me, and it was pretty frustrating at times. One of my light strategies was to get videos of objects blowing in the wind. However, as I was trying to do this, the wind was incredibly erratic. It would be perfectly windy for a moment, and then I would quickly get my camera ready only to find the wind dying down. I would have to wait for long periods of time in order to get the right objects blowing with a good amount of wind. After a while, this became very tiresome.
