When in use, strategically position yourself near bushes or trees to seamlessly blend in and avoid standing out.While immersed in the 3D Leaf suit, I experienced an extraordinary connection with nature. Squirrels, perhaps mistaking me for a genuine tree, playfully bounded around me at an incredibly close distance. This close encounter highlighted the effectiveness of the camouflage, allowing me to seamlessly integrate into the environment and witness wildlife behavior up close in a way that felt remarkably authentic.

    Using vehicle as your hide

    Surprising as it may sound, utilizing a car for wildlife photography is an ingenious camouflage technique. Animals seem to tolerate the presence of a car remarkably well, often allowing a closer approach than if a person were walking towards them. The car provides both mobility and protection from the elements. To optimize this strategy, I employ a specialized car rig to securely hold my camera setup. used it a lot for my night photography “Owls and foxes”
