A STORM IS HEADED MY WAY
Hey everyone, a big storm is headed toward western Washington where I live. We will probably lose electric power, have widespread structural damage, downed trees, and more. If I don't post for several days, you'll know what happened. Wish me luck!
In many cases I prefer to wear full camouflage outfits for photographing wildlife. One of the primary reasons is that it reduces the stress that is put upon the animal, which I believe is critical for ethical wildlife photography. This has the added benefit of resulting in more natural behavior.
Camo also lets you get very close to the creature, allowing an intimate view into their world and a more connected experience. I also prefer to lay prone on the ground for small animals as it creates a much more artistic and pleasing image, in my opinion.
This photo required considerable physical and mental effort to obtain, but it was well worth the experience and the resulting image. I used a Skimmer Pod with a gimbal head, for this very low angle of view, and the ability to slide the rig on the ground as I crawled in position.
Personally I like the little insects flying around in the scene, I think it adds an element of charm and a feeling of environment.
