| Photography from chair hides
I'm thinking of getting a chair hide for wildlife photography (birds, deer etc.), but was wondering about some of the practical aspects of photographing from them. (I've searched some other recent posts here, but haven't found exactly what I'm after.)
For a lot of wildlife photos you obviously want to be quite low to the ground, to blur the background etc. Is there enough room to lie on the ground in a chair hide (either a one- or two-man one) as the chair could obviously get in the way?
I'm also wondering about taking photos to either side, left and right. Generally chair hides seem to have one or two windows on each of the sides, but I'm wondering if there is room to photograph out of these (if you see something on that side), without your whole lens projecting out of the hide and the movement or just its size scaring off what you wanted to photograph.
If these are both problems, then I guess the types of hide in which you can stand up would be better, at least for situations where animals could come at you from several directions. Thanks for any comments.
