Re: Clothing for Wildlife photography

Coat:
I use an alpha industries US standard northern Europe jacket, heavy weight cotton with a WP wax coating (i added this my self).

Body:
I wear buttoned camo or Olive drab cargo pants or combats. An olive drab head warmer and a camo scrim neck warmer which i pull about my face to obcure it a little. Body depending on temp, a fleece i use a timberland WP olive drab fleece.

Extermites: i use sticky thickys gloves which are great with cameras, or if its freezing ex finnish army mitts/fingerless gloves. Boots are Ecco's (cant remember the model) black gortex.

I have been wearing this and actively taking pictures, with an oly E-1 and had a young red deer buck almost walk over my body, it was only when it stood on a twig and i moved that it spotted me!

This shot was taken with a 400mm Full frame, wearing the above but just the fleece.
