The Incredibly Portable Photography Blind
- Paul Burwell
In addition to providing transportation when I go looking for wildlife, my vehicle also serves as an incredibly portable photography blind. While many critters quickly scatter at the mere glimpse of the human form, they are often tolerant of being photographed through the open window of an automobile. I safely utilize my vehicle as a photography blind by pulling well off the road and turning my hazard lights on. Tripods, monopods, window mounts and saddle-shaped beanbags make excellent camera supports for photographing from a vehicle. To help make my images sharp, I turn the vehicle off while photographing to eliminate vibrations introduced by a running engine.
Instead of jumping out of your vehicle to photograph that cute critter, use your vehicle as a blind to increase your percentage of keepers.
