Photographing Herons with a Tragopan V6 Blind

One of the biggest challenges in wildlife photography is getting close to subjects. A photography blind is one of the most important tools in a wildlife photographer's arsenal for getting into camera range in places that would otherwise be impossible and to shoot in places where no one else is shooting – a local woodlot, marsh, or your own backyard bird feeders. A good photography blind also minimizes your impact on wildlife providing intimate opportunities to shoot natural undisturbed behavior.

In this Field Vlog, I take a Tragopan V6 Photography Blind to an Oregon wetland to shoot a Great Blue Heron and Great Egret feeding frenzy.
