“我正要离开，却发现有什么东西在穿越冰面”:摄影师的无人机拍下了3只可爱而舒适的野生山猫的画面

Sure, photographing wildlife has a lot to do with the skills and the equipment you have, but it’s also a matter of timing and luck. After all, you gotta find the wildlife first!

当然，拍摄野生动物与你的技术和设备有很大关系，但也需要时间和运气。毕竟，你得先找到野生动物!

But, every once in a while, people catch a break, and this particular photographer from Duluth, Minnesota was lucky enough to find a pack of bobcats chilling around the St. Louis River. Actually, they were so chill that they didn’t mind the drone snapping pics left and right, the footage of which later went viral online.

但是，每隔一段时间，人们就会抓住机会，而这位来自明尼苏达州德卢斯的摄影师非常幸运地发现一群山猫在圣路易斯河周围嬉戏。事实上，他们非常冷静，也不介意无人机拍左右，这段视频后来在网上疯传。

It’s not every day that you can stumble upon bobcats chilling in nature

并不是每天你都能在大自然中偶遇山猫

Meet Mike Mayou, Duluth-based photographer and videographer, with whom Bored Panda got in touch for an interview. Mayou liked photography from a young age, and got into DSLR photography within the last 5 years, picking up drone photography and videography along the way.

来认识一下迈克·马尤，他是德卢斯的摄影师和摄像师，Bored Panda联系了他进行采访。Mayou从小就喜欢摄影，在近5年的时间里进入了单反摄影领域，并在此过程中接触到了无人机摄影和摄像。

And Duluth seems like the perfect place to do photography with all of its amazing scenery. So, Mike was out on a photography adventure, as he likes to call it, in hopes of finding a nice area to catch the sunset peeking through the clouds. Well, the sun didn’t end up making an appearance, but a group of bobcats did!

德卢斯似乎是拍摄美景的完美地点。所以，迈克开始了一次摄影冒险，他喜欢这么称呼它，希望能找到一个不错的地方，透过云层捕捉日落。太阳并没有出现，但是一群山猫出现了!

And it’s even rarer to stumble upon 3 of them, like Mike Mayou did on his hike through the wilderness

就像迈克·马尤在荒野徒步旅行时所做的那样，偶然发现其中3个的情况就更罕见了

“I was about to leave after exploring the area around the river, but I happened to spot something crossing the ice. After flying a drone over to investigate, I discovered that there were three bobcats venturing together!” explained Mayou.

“在探索完河周围的区域后，我正准备离开，但我碰巧发现有什么东西穿过冰面。我用一架无人机飞过去调查，发现有三只山猫在一起冒险!”Mayou解释道。

He elaborated that it was quite a breathtaking experience, so he turned on his camera for the time he was around them. However, not wanting to disturb them, he spent just a few minutes droning around them and got enough footage to make an everlasting impression on the internet.

他详细解释说这是一次非常惊险的经历，所以他打开了相机，拍摄他在他们身边的那段时间。然而，为了不打扰它们，他只花了几分钟时间在它们周围闲逛，并拍下了足够多的视频，在互联网上留下了永久的印象。

Mike initially wanted to get a snap of the sunset, but once his drone went flying, he saw bobcats wandering around

迈克最初想拍一张日落的照片，但他的无人机一起飞，他就看到山猫在四处游荡

So, he flew in with the drone to get a closer shot of the adorable trio

于是，他驾驶着无人机飞了进来，近距离拍摄了这三个可爱的小家伙

Surprisingly, the cats were pretty relaxed about a drone flying around, though also curious as cats can be

令人惊讶的是，这些猫对无人机的飞来飞去却很放松，尽管它们也很好奇

“I stumbled upon this magical experience, so I was nervous that I might not have captured some of the moments that I saw through the eyes of my drone”

“我偶然发现了这一神奇的经历，所以我很紧张，我可能没有捕捉到一些我通过无人机的眼睛看到的瞬间。”

But it turned out extremely well and the pics and video soon went viral on the internet

但结果非常好，这些照片和视频很快在网上疯传
