How do you get closer to wildlife? How to you stay hidden from wildlife? These two questions are some of the hardest parts of wildlife photography. Over the years I've used a lot of different photography blinds (photography hides) to get closer to and photograph a lot of species of birds and other animals. I use photography blinds very regularly and have had a lot of fun and a lot of success in using them over the years. In this week's video, I want to discuss some of the different types of blinds (hides) that I use on a regular basis, why I use different types, the pros and cons to each type and some things to remember when using photo blinds.

I'd love to hear from you, do you use photography blinds? If so, what kind do you use? How do you photograph wildlife and how do you remain hidden from the animals you photograph?

If you've seen some of my videos before, you've probably seen that I enjoy using and talking about the blinds that I use. Here are some videos you might find helpful if you have questions about using photography blinds:
