Blinds or hides are commonly used for birds and animal photography. In this video, I share about the Ameristep hunting blind and how it is constructed and used for wildlife photography. I have been using this blind for over 15 years in environments ranging from the extreme north (Siberia) to the south (Florida). I hope you enjoy it. Links for the blind are below.

Look at the lady far right in the bottom row. The photograph was taken in the year 1900.

The hand on her shoulder?. It doesn't look like 1900, the hairstyles seem more modern.

The Development of Colour Photograpy from 1900 onwards:
The lens I attempted to order before Christmas arrived last week. My original order was with a company which I found to be rather deceptive (See "Is this a Scam" thread.) Finally connected with a small firm in Brisbane and after an extensive discussion with them upgraded my want from a Nikon AF-S DX 70-300mm to a Nikon AF-P FX 70-300mm. Although more than double the price of the AF-S lens, I'm happy with the result. Paired with the D7500 though I find it weighty to carry around all day at 1.4kg total. It's doable but only just.
My kit is complete now I think with:
Nikon D7500 body
Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G
Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G
Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G
Tonkina 11-20mm f/2.8
Nikon AF-P FX 70-300mm
The gap between 20mm and 70mm is filled with
Fujifilm X-S10 body
Fujinon 16-80 F/4
which, with a combined weight of 900g, is certainly my carry around all day kit.

Damn fat fingers. It's Tonika not Tonkina.
PS: Fujifilm released a firmware update for the X-S10 on 19 January this year. Did it seem to create an issue for me. It appeared to cause extensive overexposure. After fiddling around for quite a while, the issue was resolved when I did a Still Menu Reset. Don't know if was due to sheer luck or an actual bug with the update.

Nice, I must upgrade soon.
One trouble with this modern stuff is they have so many functions available. I'll never use 95% of them.
I don't read any of the reviews about the gear I have. Go through the spec sheet and then, apart from one near disaster trying to buy online, speak with the sellers. Luckily, after a few tries, I was able to connect with a bloke who started his working life as a newspaper photographer using equipment such a Mamiya C330. No exposure meters, limited number of shots. Old school and down to earth but enthusiastic about photography.
Since looking at the share market isn't part of my regular daily routine, photography, together with the guitars I have plus other activities, fills the gap and means I don't get bored.
