    How do we get close to Wildlife? Once you've figured out how close you need to be for reasonable photographs, it's then a case of deciding the best option to employ. If you have any experiences of stalking, hide use and other techniques as mentioned in this video then please share with everyone in the Comments Box below. Please, always remember, nothing should come above the Welfare of the bird or animal you are trying to photograph.

    I’ve seen the “I don’t care” technique described as the “lost wallet” method (by an American wildlife photographer): You pretend to have dropped your wallet, and you walk in an apparently random zigzag direction looking down, slowly approaching the animal.

    I consider my photography as part of my daily exercise, so I hike with my camera and keep vigilant. Just sitting still in a hide /camo or car is definitely not for me. Keep up the good work.

    15:18 This didn't really hit home to me until very recently. I was walking down an alleyway on a high-street and i realised that there was a beautiful magpie about a metre away from me. I kept my cool and just kept walking, but holy shit i wish i had my camera with me. It did not give a single fuck that i was literally within touching distance of it, because it "knew" i hadn't seen it.
    People take for granted how intelligent that kind of bird is. It "Knew" that i hadn't seen it, so it had no concern for me being so close. Considering the location, that bird is genuinely knowledgeable on human behaviour.

    I decided to change my approach. I used to be a walk around opportunistic photographer. I now take a chair, using my old army skills and ‘make like a tree’. After a few hours the wildlife comes to me. I was sat minding my own business and a Bank Vole appeared, a first for me and the best photo I’ve ever taken from 12” away.. great tips. Tomorrow I’m testing being further away with a remote trigger on where I know the Vole lives.

    Pretend you don't notice the animal works amazingly well. During the Rocky Mountain National Park rut, I watched thousands of photographers stalking animals and failing. Meanwhile, Elk was walking right up to me as I just took landscape photos, then I'd move slowly to grab stellar Elk shots when they were just feet away. I had large groups of people asking what I was wearing. Some people were upset saying I had to be using hunting urine or some BS. Same thing with black bears. After building trust with Mama, I've spent hours watching cubs play from my car. I pay attention to other things like birds and such, advance slowly over time, and eventually get close enough that with a 500 I can get pretty cool shots. Doesn't work always but works a lot better than stalking the animal hunting the pic above anything else.

    I need to find a good spot. Most places near me in the US are private property or "stay on the trail!" parks. I miss the days when I was a kid and I'd roam through the woods on an adventure. I think I found a good trail near some water with some room to explore but haven't been over there yet to check it out. And I need to invest in tick repellant.

    The “oakey doke”, head fake works well for shore birds. It also works sometimes with raptors, but as soon as raptors see that lens and your face pointed at them, the shift, the mute and off into the wind. Mike Lane’s channel is excellent. His knowledge and passion for bird photography is on full display in his videos.

    I had an interesting experience today. I often shoot in a cemetery over the road from my house. I don't use camouflage or a hide as the birds are quite tame. There is a great spotted woodpecker that I regularly see, but it always stays right in the top of the trees, and never close enough to photograph. I went over there today for the RSPB Birdwatch, so quietly sat with pen and paper on a little portable stool. Twice during the hour, it landed on a branch less than 10 feet away. I had my camera in my bag, but for that hour had decided just to observe, so was delighted to see it so close, but also silently cursing.
    After the hour was up, I got my camera out, but didn't see it again. I plan to go back there again and just sit quietly with the camera on a tripod and see if that works. I do have one of those bag hides, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would feel using it in a cemetery.

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography
      @PaulMiguelPhotography  2 года назад +3

      i have a few pairs of woodpeckers in my local london cemetery, greens and gs also a family of daytime foxes, i often just use a 100-400mm on a crop camera and i get some nice images, cemeteries make a great back drop to wild life, personally i wouldnt use a tripod or hide, for one i don't think its necessary and the obvious 'its a cemetery'
      i find more times than not you can wander around to where you think the bird went and its a game of cat and mouse you never win at, sit in one spot on a bench and eventually they come closer to you

  • @jackkrijthe1056
    @jackkrijthe1056 Год назад

    First of all I love your videos. Clear explanation in simple language. and watch almost all of them. Thanks for that. I regularly drive through the polder by car. photographing from the car is not that easy. Drive along at your normal speed, the birds will stay there, but as soon as you slow down, they quickly increase the distance or are gone. And with my 100-400mm they are soon too far away. So often a lot of cropping, which does not benefit the photos. But the polder and especially those along large lakes are very interesting. love to walk on the dike with the shrubs and reed forests along the water on one side and the polder on the other side where a group of farmers optimize their land for meadow birds, so I keep trying.

    I once had a close encounter with an apparently “tame” Great Blue Heron” here at the Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto. I was looking out at a pond for wildlife subjects when I noticed this GBHeron standing on the patio area not ten feet from me. He was just nonchalantly looking around oblivious to everyone around him. There were adults, children and a few dogs, but he just didn’t care. So I got a fair number of very close shots and a good flight sequence. Very satisfying.

    Hi Paul enjoyed your tips. Couple to add - for some birds making a "wren" like noise seems to attract their attention and prevent them flying away . ( some people use bird recordings too eg nightjar. Also Simon King has a YT video with Barn owls where he lies down in a field making a vole sound ! )
    I've made a mobile umbrella hide with a ground spike ( cross between hide and bag hide ) it acts as a comfortable way to approach and settle near wildlife, also packs small for carrying.
    There are also "Feeding Stations" for birds like Red Kites etc.

    Sometimes one gets lucky and much more tame one comes along and allows you to get much closer. I have been lucky a few time over the years. This year, I have had a few migrating warblers comes with 2 feet of, too close to get a photo. As you said, respect the subject and watch it's body language. Over hear, the Belted Kingfisher is extremely skittish bird.

    I use camouflage in my local city park, you've got to just not care about the funny looks. If they are not smart enough to work out what you are up to due to the tripod on your back then there's not much hope for them anyway. I tried using camo mesh for hides but find that I can see more of what's going on around me without all that.

    Another way to approach your subject is the walk backwards toward them. It appears that you are walking away as you have your back to them. I have found that this sometimes works. You must do it slowly though. Just be careful that you don't fall over any branches on the ground.

    one of the tips you missed was smell, most animals will smell you before they or you see each other
    the " not interested " approach works with birds for sure, i can get close to some if i just keep walking, as soon as i stop then they take flight so having a shutter speed fast enough for a walk by shot works well.
    the very best way to get the perfect distance to wildlife esp birds is to leave the camera at home!!! sure enough that bird you been trying to get for months that flies away just before you get scoped up will happily sit on a fence a few feet away if you don't have your camera with you

    If you want to get down and dirty, for example for various ducks etc. try a roll up workout mat to lie on and a basic camo net thrown over you. You will need a skimmer for this and you can make one for little money out of an old frying pan and a tripod ball head.

  • @dimitristsagdis7340
    @dimitristsagdis7340 2 года назад

    I agree with some of the comments below; e.g. I throw a picnic blanket or equivalent on the ground wear acamo and lie down and wait. I use a 3D camo poncho with a hood and camo gloves which is much lighter than a Ghillie suit. Also in the 'do not care routine' try to walk/approach on a zig zag direction. Finally, best advice for walking around wildlife photography is to try to figure out where the animal will be next and try to get there before it. So instead of following the wildlife, you position at the right spot and it shows up. And for the record tame wildlife is usually the result of feeding. I sit at the edge of some parks and birds come near me because they think I'll feed them. Once I had a small piece from a broken branch in my hand pretending to be food and the birds would not hesitate to try and take it from my hand thinking it was food and I wouldn't let go and we will play for a while like that. I do not feed wildlife but I've been in many places even in reserve in Africa where visitors or they guides do and so the animals become very tame and flock towards visitors.

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography

    I subscribed to you although I watch your RUclips & thought I would make you aware if you change camera brand. Are you aware that Canon do not share their lens protocols with 3rd party manufacturers, however Sony & Nikon do. Now, there is an alternative which is the OM-1, I know it's micro fourthirds but if its good enough for Mike Lane then that surely is a recommendation in itself. I am a wildlife photographer in Sussex originally using the GH5 but delays in the release of the GH6 ( unfortunately it went too video bias) & a windfall allowed me to go for the Sony a1. It is superb & I do not regret it one bit but the weight is a small draw back if you come from a micro 4/3rds background. it also allows 3rd party sharing. I use the Sony 200-600mm, Tamron 28-75 & an old Panagor 90mm macro lens in manual mode.

    Another great video. With lots of good tips which I know work. On the subject of paid hides, yes you knew someone would have a rant. But no I am not against them, most of them mean that wildlife is being less disturbed and that has to be a good thing. No, my question to you a pro snapper is that if a magazine had a Kingfisher shot from both of us on their desk and they were both fantastic. Your image was achieved by studying a local bird, learning its habitat and behaviour, then spending hours getting the right composition and weather conditions. Mine was taken in a paid hide, and because i was closer and the composition set up with great meant it was a much better image they chose mine. In other words do the two images hold the same value? My tip for getting close to wildlife is get up early, animals are no different to us they have to warm up and feed and when they are doing these early morning tasks they pay less attention to humans. I also think winter is the best time to get great wildlife shots. Animals and birds need to feed almost continuously, so even nocturnal ones can be seen throughout the day.

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography
      @PaulMiguelPhotography  2 года назад +1

      What a great question!! (You also make a very good point about disturbance.. which some people don't consider). So this is my opinion based on years of experience: For the majority of magazines.. they won't give a stuff. The image will be to illustrate an article or as a front cover to make people buy the mag. It is about impact. There will be the odd publication that will care, and also if there is a story to tell about taking the pics. e.g., I wrote a full article for Birdwatching magazine about photographing red kites in snow - that wouldn't have been possible if they weren't wild. I agree about early morning and yes winter can be useful indeed.

      Very interesting, thanks Ian. Guess they were a bit flighty. There will be somewhere quiet where it works... just a case of finding it!

    I think that most of wildlife phtographers out there use hide or rent hide to shoot wildlife. And I think that it still wildlife phtography (speaking about rent an hide), the animals still a wild animals not captivity, so there are no problem to rent an hide, is the same things that put a tend or a camo on. The one that i dont like is workshop done in place where are used animals in captivity (exampe bird of pray center), I think is not even a workshop as a true workshop should be done in the wild and not in a center. For example if you go to Africa, what people think is that photographers go in the savana and start to walk around? No way, they are most of the times on cars and this is not meaning is not anymore wildlife, as the animal still wild and not captivity.
