Ever dreamt of capturing stunning wildlife photographs without disturbing their natural habitat? Well, recently, I had again a fantastic opportunity to do just that alongside my son, Dimitri, and his friend, Luc. Our destination? The incredible photo hut 2 from Glenn Vermeersch (glennvermeersch.be).
Hut 2 provided the perfect setting for a day of birding photography. Secluded and strategically placed, it allowed us to observe a variety of feathered friends up close without spooking them. Equipped with our cameras and a healthy dose of patience, we settled in for a truly rewarding experience.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly encountering a majestic Buzzard. Its powerful form and piercing gaze made for some truly captivating shots. We also had the pleasure of capturing Hawks, Robins, and a variety of other delightful birds flitting amongst the branches and soaring through the clear sky.
The beauty of using a photo hut lies not only in the incredible access it provides, but also in the camaraderie it fosters. Sharing this experience with Dimitri was truly special. We captured amazing photographs together, but more importantly, we shared in the thrill of the hunt for the perfect frame. Having Luc, Dimitri's friend, there added another layer of enjoyment, he is not specialised in videography. Their friendly conversation and shared techniques made the day even more memorable.
By the end of the day, our memory cards were brimming with stunning wildlife photographs, each one a testament to the magic of Hut 2 and the power of photo adventures with loved ones and close friends.
Equipment used for this shoot:
- Nikon Z50 + Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 Sport + Nikon FTZ II Adapter
- Nikon D3500 + Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3
- Tripod Head Gimbal
- Tarion Pro PB-01 Backpack
