How to stay HIDDEN while photographing wildlife. This is the gear that really works.

Wildlife photography has many challenges, and is in my opinion, can be the most difficult type of photography. But it doesn't have to be! So, how do you get closer to wildlife? How do you stay hidden from wildlife? These are some questions that we've touched on before here on this channel and this is a topic that I'm completely obsessed with. This week I'm going show you what gear really works in helping you stay hidden from wildlife. So follow along as I show you my favorite items that I use on a nearly daily basis to stay hidden from wildlife.
Here are some additional videos that go along with and expound on what we've reviewed today, check them out if you haven't already: • How to stay hidden whi...

awesome video

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Thanks!

Some great tips on this one Jimmy. I use the camo clothing every time I go out and I also at times use my pop up blind. I haven't tried the camo netting but I am going to look into getting some of that as well. Thanks for some great tips and have a great week.

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Thanks so much Keith! I definitely recommend the ghillie net or a ghillie suit. Especially if you're working on a species that is particularly flighty or skittish. Have a wonderful week out there!

[@GiuseppeGessa]

Great tips! I use all you mentioned, and they are really effective.

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Thank you Giuseppe, always appreciate your support!

[@richardschmidtke6453]

Blinds are my preferred method. I also find other critters show up that you were not expecting.

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

It's so true, I've photographed some pretty amazing animals from a blind, many of them I was never expecting to see!

Buen camuflaje aca en colombia no es buena usarlos que te pueden confundir con la insurgencia

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Thank you! Oh wow, I'll have to remember that if I ever decide to visit 😅

[@treelee8485]

Beats me - how we go from discussion of ghillie nets 'because they break up un-natural shapes' to 'just sit in your car' ... Someone please explain

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Ya know, if there's one thing I've learned about wildlife photography over the years, it's that wildlife, even the same species, act differently based on what environment they live in. So yes, ghillie nets and vehicles are very different, but a fox in a national park or town square will act very differently than one in the middle of the backcountry. The tools you have to use to stay hidden from or help animals feel comfortable may change in each habitat. I hope that helps, thanks for the feedback!

[@joshhead9368]

Perhaps a silly question. How do you stay comfortabke why sitting in one spot for hours. I struggle with this and pften leave way too ealry because of it

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Not a silly question at all. Truthful answer, you don't... 🤣 It's not a comfortable scenario most of the time, I just have to remind myself that it could be worth it in the end.

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

Guess what I finally got to photograph yesterday!

[@JimmyBreitenstein]

Did you get the Fox!?

@@JimmyBreitenstein One of my husband's friends have a litter in his backyard! We spent Saturday afternoon visiting and photographing them! Mama seemed a bit skittish hearing the shutter go off, so next time I think I will use camo and pot to get down low and do video instead of a lot of clicking. We discovered how skittish they are we decided to just shoot through their closed windows. Even though we were right next to the house and a long distance from the sheds where they have their den and food caches under Mama seemed alarmed. It would be nice if they were more out in the wild, but I will photograph them any chance I get.as long as they are tolerant. It was pretty exciting.
