Professional Looking Photography
Located in West Wiltshire, approximately 12 miles from Bath, our wildlife photography hide is set on private land that is host to a variety of bird life and is managed by Simon and John.
Simon's primary objective in constructing the hide was to enable individuals new to wildlife photography, or those without high-end camera equipment to still be able to easily capture professional-quality images. This goal is easily attainable at the hide, as the background is sufficiently distant to prevent any distractions, allowing the subject to be showcased in its full beauty.
The background colour changes throughout the year and during summer it’s easy to get clean green backgrounds. There is an oak tree behind the perching area that in autumn, when the light catches it, provides a beautiful orange background. And in winter the background changes to greens and browns. You’ll be able stop your lens down without the fear of introducing a distracting background, leaving you free to focus on shutter speed and composition.
We understand the importance of getting pictures that are personal and unique to the individual photographer, therefore we will do all we can to help you achieve this. We will do this by giving you different perches to use, different distances to work from and different positions for the perches so that you can get the background you want.
Simon is always on the lookout for new and interesting perches, but if you have seen something you would like to bring to your session, no problem. Bring it along and we’ll set it up for you.
