Mike Lane. What a coincidence! Yesterday, I started to sort out a feeder and hide set up: and now you have provided me with a greater insight, so thanks a lot. This will be my first home made hide. I was recently contacted by the owners of a local farm who invited me to photograph wildlife on their land. In addition to being able to roam at will, I have been given the use of a small patch of waste ground. This opportunity is fantastic, as up until now I have only been able to shoot from rather busy tow paths, public footpaths and busy nature reserves. No more dog walkers and cyclists for me. I'm looking forward to the coming months.
Mike, I love your enthusiasm for this style of photography. I think it's still my favourite type of work too. I do enjoy the set ups as well! Great stuff my friend.
Hello, Mike. I'd feel remiss for not offering some comment after enjoying and learning so much from your videos. Your presentations are genuine and focus on sharing pertinent information of of sufficient length but not lengthy. I'm a 70 yo retired gentleman living in Utah, USA with good health and significant free time of which I spend much in portable blinds and hides from local vegetation. I've done plenty of chase and shoot and have some nice images but the blind photography you've helped to inspire in me is a different level especially the connection to the subject and all elements of the surrounding area. I wish you well and am grateful for your artistry, Jim
Another superb vlog Mike, I would just like to say I find your vlogs very informative and for someone like myself who is just getting into wildlife photography your relaxed presentation style is very easy to follow, Also your many years of experience comes thorough beautifully. I look forward to your next vlog.
Brilliant! And impressive pictures, the result of is awesome. I'd never say it's not a natural spot you've found. Congratulations and thanks for the tips!
Enjoy your videos Mike. As I'm getting into my 70's I've enjoyed using many of your hints for perches in my backyard which has kept me in the photography game in spite of loss of some mobility. As I live on a lake here in Virginia USA I've added a post hoping to attract one of our king fishers - tough to get a close up of these shittish birds. Thanks for your enthusiasm ?
Love these videos. Interesting to hear that you used to make a living out of capturing these sort of photographs but that you can't do this anymore. I'd love you to elaborate on the reasons as to why?
They will be publishers not people buying prints. Cutouts are used a lot in publications. They could do it in house, but if they caan buy it already done they do.
