Temporary hides


Our temporary hides are camouflaged photography tents that are set up in specially selected locations and help photographers remain undetected while shooting.

They are mainly used in the warm spring and summer months, and the photographed species are mostly birds that are not very suspicious and easily accept and get used to the presence of the tents.

 

Each year, the positioning of the hides may change, as it is tailored to the best locations for the birds. This is related to preparation before each season for tracing and finding the most suitable places, considering background, light, etc. The tents are put up at the beginning of the season, and stay there the duration of the photography season. The terrain around the tents is prepared for photography before the start of the season, giving the birds and animals enough time to get used to the tents and perches.

 

Recommended lenses:

- zoom lenses such as 200-400, 150-600 (for in-flight shots and close-up portraits)

- 300, 400 mm prime lenses (converters could also be useful)
