A BAFTA winning BBC wildlife cameraman has died whilst filming for National Geographic in Australia. He was in a helicopter that crashed in New South Wales.
He had filmed underwater footage for BBC Natural History blockbusters; Life in the Freezer, The Trials of Life and Blue Planet. In the 70's he was nearly killed in the Pacific after being attacked by sharks and he got into freezing waters with sea lions so he could better film them being attacked by a pod of orca whales.
The film he captured of a shark leaping from the sea to grab a low-flying albatross is seen as one of the most amazing pieces of wildlife footage ever filmed.
Here is his personal website with more info about him and his work.
