Photographing Herons with a Tragopan V6 Blind
Просмотров 18 тыс.2 года назад
One of the biggest challenges in wildlife photography is getting close to subjects. A photography blind is one of the most important tools in a wildlife photographer's arsenal for getting into camera range in places that would otherwise be impossible and to shoot in places where no one else is shooting - a local woodlot, marsh, or your own backyard bird feeders. A good photography blind also mi...

    I love shorebirds as well and this video really inspires me to get out and do more with them. I love your approach of scouting out a location and being prepared with either a blind, or in this case, appropriate clothing and then coming back and getting the shots. All of these have been so helpful and inspiring. And of course your photos are extraordinary. Please keep them coming as you have time. (And I loved your book).

    Wonderfully filmed and put together, to show the behavior and habitat. The dusky grouse looks a bit like the spruce grouse we have where I am in Northern New Hampshire and Maine, but they are in thick spruce, so we don't get to see them in the open usually. Always a treat to get to see your work, thanks for putting it up here!

    Beautiful bird. Great video. Thanks for persevering even though I'm guessing you weren't feeling that well. A question. When you go off trail how do you avoid getting lost in the woods? I have a poor sense of direction and worry about going too far off trail.

    • @GerritVyn
      @GerritVyn 2 месяца назад

      I just keep an awareness of where I am specially the best I can. In this case I knew if I went down hill I’d end up back on the trail.

    Hope you are feeling better, Gerrit. You'll laugh -- I too caught what turned out to be Covid the day after seeing the Magellanic Woodpecker in Patagonia National Park. Rotten flight home before I tested positive. But, priceless memories of the bird, Patagonia and all the places I visited in Argentina with Chip Darmstadt and a hearty crew of fellow Vermonters. Always appreciate your work and dedication. Go Big Red!

      That’s a tough one! Are we just talking about migration/wintering grounds? Some of my favorite spots outside of the breeding season have been…Gray’s Harbor, WA, Kuskokwim Shoals on the Yukon Delta, Yalu jiang on the Yellow Sea coast in China, the Geum Estuary in South Korea, various beaches in Florida, Nan thar Island in Myanmar….

    Wonderful video Gerrit. Where I'm living in Thailand we get Sanderlings and exotic stuff such as the occasional Spoon-billed Sandpiper. Often see some in full or partial breeding plumage birds in March when they start feeding up before heading back to Siberia. Its also the hottest time of the year with cloudless skies and 35C plus and hotter on the sand. Lots of heat haze and sunburn to contend with.

    • @GerritVyn
      @GerritVyn 2 месяца назад
