This is a How to Photograph Squirrels guide. I capture incredible images of woodland wildlife. Woodpeckers, squirrels and nuthatches to name a few.
In brief, I've seen Paul's pictures from his hides and they were so impressive I contacted him to arrange a meetup. I'm so glad I did...
A few weeks ago I met up with photographer Paul Fowlie at Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. Paul owns hides nearby where you can photograph your typical woodland wildlife. I've purposefully played this down a bit. I expected a good day's photography but I certainly didn't expect to be blown away as much as I was...
The day started off with a brief hello and handshake as they do. A few minutes drive and we arrived at Paul's hides. For now, forget about the wildlife for a second. The location is a woodland photographer's dream' what an incredible place! Then, within minutes, I was transported into a childlike state. Not only was I in an incredibly picturesque woodland location... but there were amazing animals everywhere.

I could go on but I'll let my excitement shine through in the video.
This is a real 5-star experience!
A huge thank you to Paul for entertaining me for the day.

I can confirm Paul is an excellent host and the reflection hide is just awesome, I did the jump and wall as well just pre-focus and hit the shutter button on the jump my A7III at 10 fps achieved one or even two shots with each jump the cheeky scamps even came into the hide. The next time I visit Paul will be the Little Owl hide !

@GarethDanks Год назад

Absolutely nuts! 😂 what a facility that is. I don’t care that it’s baited. How else could you see such a beautiful creature so well. Incredible shots mate. Please turn off that dam af beeeeeeeeep!!!!! 😂

I’ve been to Paul’s hides for the squirrels 🐿️ and the reflection pool, absolutely brilliant 🤩 really brilliant and Paul is really helpful too 😊

@Colinpowellphotography Год назад

What a place and a fantastic idea to enable anyone to take pictures of wildlife like that. Incidentally, it was a wild life picture I took a few years back that changed me from taking snaps to taking half decent images. Hats off to Paul for creating such a place. Excellent pictures Gary.

@GaryGough Год назад

Cheers Colin xx

@stephencross6474 Год назад

I love what you do and especially this video… as far as how what where you photographed this content it doesn’t matter to me… meaning if never mentioned how it was set up it doesn’t matter to me… you don’t take a photo you make a photo…. Thanks

@steveatesh Месяц назад

Thank you for putting this up last year Gary, as a result of watching it (although I mistakenly told Paul I had seen the video on Simon Baxters channel, Doh!) I had my day with Paul yesterday and apart from being an amazing experience for somebody who doesn't do wildlife I got fabulous photos too thanks to Paul . Can thoroughly recommend it too.

@GaryGough Месяц назад

How on earth could you get us mixed up? I’m much prettier 😂😂 I’m due to do another couple of videos with Paul at the end of this month. Keep an eye out.

@chorlton284 Год назад

Another awesome vlog Gary. Isnt taking photo’s of quite red squirrels amazing. They are so fast! Ive taken photo’s of Woodpeckers, squirrels, short clawed otters. These can be seen at the WWT at Washington, Tyne & Wear. Looking to your next & future Vlogs and tutorials. Regards Graham

@GaryGough Год назад

Cheers Graham 👍👍

@michaelingledew Год назад

Right, after watching this excellent video I immediately contacted Paul and booked myself onto his Red Squirrel day. I thought I was a reasonably good wildlife photographer. Being completely self-taught I arrived and met Paul. A thoroughly decent guy, great company and he showed me how to use my camera properly!! Got probably the best photos I’ve ever taken. Immediately booked myself onto another of his workshops (badgers). If you are into wildlife and like to spend a day sat in a hide, with zero phone signal! Paul is amazing. Cheers Mike

I need some commission from Paul 😂😂 Glad it helped 👍👍

What kind of filters should I choose for wildlife photography? I have Kase landscape but looks not suitable. Any advice?

@GaryGough Год назад

Filter free 👍

@turnipmadras Год назад

I would have tried back button focus with Servo-AF and auto ISO using AF Case 3 to see if that got better results with the jumping squirrels.

@GaryGough Год назад

The focusing won't be quick enough. Pre-focusing works 100% of the time as long as you get your timing right!

@mikebrownhill4662 Год назад

Great video - I enjoyed it. I photograph wildlife almost exclusively and would love to book a session at this place because there are no red squirrels in my area. I'll need to plan it because there's a fair bit of travel involved for me, but if we make a long weekend of it then it's possible. There's nothing "wrong" with baited shots or with using paid hides, although they do attract some negative comments in certain quarters. Provided the wildlife comes to no harm and there's minimum disruption then as long as you declare a baited/paid hide shot for what it is, it's a perfectly valid way to work. Looks like you had a great time.

@GaryGough Год назад

Agree totally. Cheers Mike 👍👍

@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67 Год назад

What a fantastic place Gary, and for sure I will check out Pauls channel, I use a very similar technique to capture Hummingbirds in the backyard, a lot of fun for sure, the images you captured were stunning, I seem to recall you capturing some awesome seal images before and I remember you and Mrs G photographing wild birds, thanks for sharing fantastic as always.

Gary if you are ever in Scotland I can lend you a 500f4 and a 300f2.8 and a 1dx, I don't do wildlife anymore to much weight to carry, and no point selling as they are worthless the now, Argaty is another nice place to go

@GaryGough Год назад

Hi Paul, It's still decent gear. I'm sure you could sell them. I lost my 1DX MKII to a rogue wave a couple of years ago. It still pains me! Always happy to take them off your hands and relieve the burden of carrying them of course ;) Cheers 👍👍

Excellent shots in a great looking location. A privilege to be able to see Red Squirrels in almost completely wild surroundings when most of us will only see Grey Squirrels. Must check it out when I visit the area. Interesting to compare with @DaniConnorWild who went to Sweden to photograph Red Squirrels which is not an option for many people.

@toffer62 Год назад

This is such a beautiful video. The vast majority of people's experience of squirrels in the UK, especially the more south you go, is of greys. They are cute and plentiful but seeing a native red is really something special nowadays. Thank you for this.

@garrydelday5816 Год назад

I can’t believe you have only seen a Woodpecker on one occasion, I have seen scores of them but I have only ever seen one Red Squirrel in my life and that was over 40 years ago. To capture one is on my bucket list, they are adorable. I have been following you for over three years now Gary and this has to be one of the most enjoyable Vlogs you have produced to date. Landscapes change but they are always there, wildlife is elusive and it’s so satisfying to capture it. The leaping Squirrel shots were top draw 👌👍 Thanks Paul for inviting Gary so he could share his experience 👍

Reds are only found in a few areas of the UK. The pesky Grey being more common in general. However if you live in the South of England there is a colony at Brownsea Island in Poole harbour. A good time to go is around October when they start foraging for food to store over winter. Reds are just beautiful and Gary you've done a great job and been very lucky to see these wonderful creatures.
