We use camo-nets in our bird photography. In this video, we use camo-nets to get closer to shorebirds and give a few audio tips, and tips on how to switch between video and photography efficiently in the field.
There are many ways to get close to wildlife, long lenses being the most common solution. I use camo nets, not only to get closer but also to get a more relaxed subject. The birds behave more naturaly when they don’t see humans, even at a greater distance.
This video was shot on the go and is simply about us trying to get intimate shots of birds by using camo-nets spiced with a few tips.
