islandgun Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Beautiful, may i ask a question, do you lay and wait [make or use a hide] or do you happen upon the opportunity and quickly take the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move to the position you want to be in to take the shot. I have the image in my head prior to attending the location. Think about the light firstly then foreground and background, lastly the perch/environment. No hide or camo required. I did a great deal of Mooching back in the day with someone from this site who views surreptitiously. Eyes of a Pigeon and could hear paint dry. Shot with Canon 1DX.. Canon 500 F/4 lens with extender. Mounted on Jobu Gimble head mkiv and a FEISOL carbon tournament Tripod.. Hope that helps.

Thank you for posting up to share. L Your post made me smile as I posted something similar on a photo web site about 30yrs ago. Practice Practice then if you fail learn from the fail and move on..Never give up. Know your equipment and capabilities also your own skills. Know your quarry just like shooting. As your skills get better you will then require better equipment you will know when the time is right as your pictures become memorable images. Good luck GG 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take numerous shots in bursts of 10 frames a second if my memory serves me well. From distances of 10 yards to 25 yards. Taken images 100 to 150 in total.. About four that are worthy of printing the rest get deleted. I had visited previously and not taken a shot. That's wildlife photography. The longest I have taken to get an image is 6 months which was the three Rats on top of an old post.
