Hi Everyone,
I have a question: What do you consider to be the best run rookeries for photographers? I would like to be able to talk to an owner of one, or visit, to get an idea of best practices. Thanks very much, Pam
No idea about rookeries - never been to one.
To get me to return to one that'd just opened up nearby, it'd need
Clean bgs at different times of day
Water level shooting options - including a sunken hide for those who want to do it in style.
Ability /facility to get to subject's eye level if high roosts involved.
A target rich environment'd help, of course ...
For your particular situation ... I'd seriously consider setting up a gator proof low-level facility - positioned for both birds and gators.
Such a gig would have me considering a season ticket ... assuming you were about a 5mile bike trip away - assuming done properly / in harmony with surroundings, I suspect you'd be able to charge premium rates because of unique pov.
Especially note the 'theatre' hide, mentioned here
