BROWN BEAR PHOTO HIDES
DESCRIPTION
Book your photo session from a hut in Slovenia, wait for the brown bear immersed in the magic of these magnificent forests.
The sessions take place in the Slovenian forests, on the border with Croatia, where we boast 8 different locations and over 30 professional photography huts. By booking one or more sessions, we guarantee a session in the locations with the best bear activity, thus maximizing the possibilities of observing and photographing this magnificent animal. These are short walking routes to the huts, where, in absolute silence, you can immerse yourself in waiting in the wild heart of the Slovenian forests.
After the experience I had recently in photographing the brown bear, I decided to form a small group of people and give you the opportunity to admire the wonder that hides within the fantastic forests of Eastern Europe. Once we arrive at the facility we will hold a short introductory lesson where I will explain how to behave inside the shed, and little help on how to set up the camera to obtain wonderful shots.
THE HIDES:
The hides photography is par excellence the most used technique to be able to photograph wild animals at close ranges without interfering or disturbing the fauna.
The huts that we will use have been designed and built to guarantee maximum comfort during the photographic session and at the same time to optimize the sighting possibilities with the use of particular strategies for the elimination of odors, acoustic insulation and the use of glass to also guarantee visual insulation.
Inside the sheds we will also have the opportunity to use photographic heads which can be inserted directly into a pre-built accommodation. Two large side windows will allow you to observe outside the shed in complete freedom while remaining invisible from the outside. In this way, in addition to photographs, each of us will be able to enjoy naturalistic spectacles just a few meters away.
RECOMMENDED PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT:
In terms of photography equipment, we recommend lenses ranging from 70-200mm, up to 500mm or more. The distance from the photographer to the subject can vary from approximately 10 to 50 meters.
Departures for the bear huts take place daily, from 1pm to 2pm (with the exact time communicated by the guide during lunch). Cabin locations range from 5 to 25 km from the property and require a 5 to 35 minute commute.
After a short walk, usually a few hundred meters, the photo session extends until sunset.
At the end of the session, where we will be taken back to the hotel by our guides, after dinner we will analyze the shots taken.
Although we can offer the best possibilities for photographing bears in their natural habitat, it must be said that the certainty of being able to photograph them is not guaranteed.
