Capturing wildlife photography in the countryside can be challenging, especially when trying to get close without disturbing the animals.
In this video, I’ll share the camouflage gear I use and tips to help you stay hidden, stealthy and increase your chances of photographing elusive wildlife.
Join me as we explore different types of camouflage and strategies I’ve learned over the years.
While I have plenty of experience using camouflage, there’s always more to discover! If I missed anything, drop a comment and share your own stealth techniques—I’d love to hear from you.
