  • My wildlife photography hide. I'm working on a new location where I'm cultivating the site for wildlife for future photography. I'm very hopeful for specific species and with that in mind I'm planning carefully in terms of lighting and background. Planning is key when it comes to building hides and creating photogenic set-ups.
    Filmed with Canon M50 and 15-45mm lens.
    Equipment: Spade; gloves
    My equipment: If you purchase any of these items, that I use and recommend, through the Amazon links I receive a small commission which is massively appreciated and it helps me to keep creating new videos.

    Wow Paul, that was such a valuable insight into how you plan ahead for your shooting. It really helps to learn how you have to think ahead so much. As much as I love watching you capturing images, this type of video is really gold and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing so much. All the best for the new year!

    Hi Paul I do love your videos they always makes me smile, your excitement was really building up in this one I thought you were going to burst. I wish you all the best with future shoots from your new hide. I'm going to be out of action for some time as I'm going into hospital for an operation then a three month recovery period so I'm going to be watching a lot of you tube to keep the boredom at bay lol. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

    Great video a Paul. Did you buy this land? I’m asking a lot of local land owners but none of them are particularly interested in wildlife so it’s falling on deaf ears.

    How about putting up guttering on the hide to catch rainwater to store in a water butt, then run a hose over to your pond to top up as required

      Hi Peter. I'm referring to the landowner. He's been really supportive of me. Unfortunately this hide got damaged in high winds so is now in pieces, but can be used again in some way. Thank you for your support by becoming a Member of the Channel. You'll find extra posts and images posted from time to time in the Community Section.

      @@PaulMiguelPhotography Hi Paul it's a pleasure, just out of interest, or perhaps not, I use an Olympus EM1X with old Pro four thirds Zuiko glass. This sort of doubles the field of view of the lens so my 90 - 250 F2.8 is nearly equiv to a 180 - 500mm full frame so I only have to carry this, although heavy, and a 50mm macro for my wildlife work.
