Photographing birds from a new perspective had always fascinated me. The photographs of birds captured at eye level have always appealed me the most.
This year I have been testing floating hide technique for water bird photography. I must admit that I have been amazed how close to the birds you can get with floating hide! Obviously it is the same reason why all hide photography makes the difference- when man shape disappears, birds are much more relaxed and they behave much more naturally. It is also great to be able to move close to the birds in really shallow water (even less than 15 centimeter)
Here are few of the photos of my first attempt with floating hide photography few months back. The location was SITAPAT lake Dhar, summer of 2011
Great images, Its a great way to get close to any animal, as I can tell from your shots. Keep doing it, you get a very different view on a floating hide then you do on the shoreline. Looking forward to seeing more. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Josh for your encouraging words. Truly floating hide is a grate way to get close to your subject without disturbing them.
