A slow languid float down the Beaver River through the Beaver Hills Biosphere, a UNESCO-designated area, whose headwaters are part of the Niagara Escarpment, another UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Handheld, the 4K camera appears to ‘float’ without human interaction. Pools of light fall through the canopy of leaves and move across the surface of the water in a dance of reflected light.
