Description
Bats don’t necessarily count among the cuddly toys which everybody would like to cuddle. Some people see them as disgusting and scary or even fear the nocturnal bats which dart like a shot through the darkness. Seeing their speed one has no idea how difficult and complicated the filming was. Bats are extremely light sensitive , they start their activities only in the dark, and they move so fast, that our eyes can hardly follow them. They represent a true challenge for the camera technique and request a true understanding of the animal.
