Bird Photography - Success in the Floating Hide

I make a rain cover for my floating blind, set it up in the night and go out to photograph birds the next morning. Behind the scenes tips and tricks.

Since the top of the floating blind is very breathable it is not waterproof. We get a lot of rain at this time of the year so I decided to make a homemade rain cover for the photo hide. I like this kind of custom equipment since it lets me modify my gear so that it perfectly fits my needs.
On my first trip I was not lucky at all but after getting some tips and tricks from other photographers I decided to change my tacktics. I went down to the small lake in the evening and set up my floating and build a shelter so that I could sleep in there if necessary. This had some obvious benefits that I am talking about in the behind the scenes section of the video.
I hope you enjoy this little everyday life adventure.
