Field craft skills taught by the British Army such as camouflage, movement, and reducing noise can help wildlife photographers get closer to animals. These skills include using camouflage clothing and gear to break up the human shape, avoiding shiny objects that reflect light, moving slowly and quietly, and understanding how various senses like smell and vision allow animals to detect humans. Mastering some basic field craft techniques can provide a bonus to wildlife photography skills without going overboard with full military-style camouflage.
This document provides instructions for a mask project focusing on economy, emphasis, and texture. Students are asked to create a paper mache mask that can be used for storytelling with a costume, as a functional object for a ritual, or fashion to communicate identity.

This is the presentation I use as the basis for my talks in Irish camera clubs.
There are 7 rules of composition in photography: 1) Leading lines draw the eye through the photo, 2) The rule of thirds places subjects at intersections of an imaginary 3x3 grid, 3) Filling the frame with the subject avoids distractions, 4) Framing the subject with natural or man-made objects enhances it, 5) Unusual angles create interesting perspectives, 6) Shallow depth of field isolates subjects while deep depth includes context, and 7) Symmetry and texture can make images more dynamic but require a strong focal point.
The document discusses different types of camouflage techniques and patterns that can be used to avoid detection by an enemy. It describes what camouflage is, the difference between cover and concealment, and techniques like breaking up outline, avoiding bright colors, and staying in shadows. Specific camouflage patterns are also analyzed like ACU, woodland, desert, and commercial patterns. Tips are provided on choosing effective camouflage based on the area of operations and distance of contact.
This document provides instruction on camouflage and concealment techniques. It defines camouflage as blending in with the background, while concealment means hiding behind something. It outlines key areas of the body and equipment to camouflage, including skin, clothing, boots, and shiny objects. Effective camouflage depends on choosing a suitable background and applying disruptive patterns. Cut foliage can be used but needs replenishing before wilting and when moving to new backgrounds. The document demonstrates camouflage techniques and quizzes the reader to reinforce the concepts.

Remove reflective items like watches, rings, and ID badges when working with lasers to prevent specular reflections that could expose your eyes. Block potential reflections from optics, enclosures, and other surfaces by using beam blocks and considering reflections from all angles, including upward and back reflections. Always use the correct laser safety eyewear that is approved for the specific wavelength and power level, as injuries have occurred from using the wrong eyewear. Check regularly for stray reflections, especially as setups change, and be aware that faint red dots in the 750-830nm range could actually be full power beams that your eyes cannot perceive well. Properly terminate all primary and secondary beams to avoid reflections using beam blocks, dumps and power meters

Fieldcraft of wildlife photography
1. Field Craft
What is Field Craft?
Field craft is name given to the multitude of skills taught by the British army to hide, hunt, track, shelter, light
fires and find both water and food in remote locations as well as navigate and move efficiently while evading
detection.
What has this got to do with Wildlife Photography?
Some of the skills taught on tracking, hiding, hunting etc, can be easily converted to watching wildlife and as
such a basic understanding of some of these skills may improve your ability to track and get closer to the wildlife
you are looking to photograph. With this in mind I have laid out some of the more straightforward strategies
that may help you to get closer to your subject below.
The 8 S’s
Soldiers are taught how to evade detection by using a series of S’s that help to act as reminders of what helps
another individual identify a human presence. Humans are pretty distinctive and most animals have learnt to
give us a wide birth because of the threat we pose (be this intentional or not). Therefore the S’s are as follows:-
• Shape – the shape of a human is pretty distinctive. Even carrying objects on its back and hands a human
figure can be identified from a great distance quite easily. The following actions may help reduce the
ability of detection.
Use of camouflage clothing or suitable alternatives. The British Army use camouflage material
commonly known as DMP (Disruptive Pattern Material) to clothe a soldier. This material when worn in
the correct environment helps to disrupt the easily recognisable shape of a human by using random
patters in colours usually found in nature. The addition of branches and twigs to an outfit also further
modifies the human shape and makes identification harder.
Note that each environment demands a different type of DPM as wearing temperate woodland
camouflage would do little good in a desert or snow environment. As the British army are now fighting
in environments that their current DPM clothing is not designed for a new pattern DPM is currently
under production. This will filter down to the general public with in a couple of years. This allows a
greater range of tailored DPM clothing for different environments to be utilised by the general public
and us photographers if we so chose it. In the mean time current surplus DMP clothing will be disposed
of to make way for the new pattern material. This should mean new stock in army surplus shops etc
and may even mean a reduction in price due to availability.
Although a cheap way of camouflaging yourself army surplus isn’t to everyone’s taste. So if you do not
wish to cloth yourself as “Rambo” there are some alternatives to purchasing army surplus clothing.
Some specialist wild life watching suppliers are producing their own DPM patterned material that looks
different enough to not be mistaken as army clothing and to further help this distinction they are
creating outfits with non military styling. These outfits can be very pricy due to the limited production
and sale volume.
2. Another possible route for suitable clothing is the outdoor adventure market. Now common on some
high streets, shops such as Blacks, Millets, Field & Trek and Nomad that stock a wide range of clothing
that may prove a suitable alternative to army camouflage.
Finally don’t forget the high street as these may also provide suitable alternatives.
Remember the reason DPM works is because it breaks-up an easily recognised pattern of a human by
using patterns and colours found in the environment it was designed for and while alternative clothing
may prove suitable keep in mind that colours should be sympathetic to the environment you are
working in. So avoid bright colours and large logos and go for muted colours and simple patterns. Also
consider the durability of any garments, look for parts that can become easily snagged. Remember that
whatever you finally choose it needs to be able to protect you from the elements, and be comfortable
to wear, allow free movement, resist damage to some degree and fulfil any other requirements you may
demand from it.
Need for such extreme approaches may be negated by using hides. Both portable and purpose built
hides help to allow people to get closer to wildlife then would normally be possible under certain
situations.
• Shine – The best way to advertise you presence is to reflect any available light back to a watching pair of
eyes. Think of signalling for help using a heliograph mirror and you can appreciate the power of
reflecting light. Therefore reduce the number of “shiny things” you have on display and are using. You
can do this by leaving all your shiny objects at home or by covering potentially shiny objects. In old
times assassins used “weapon black” to coat shiny steel weapons to prevent them from glinting and
therefore betraying the owner. Although we do not need to go down that route it is worth thinking
about what can reflect light and how we can minimise this with covering it with a suitable material or
substance. To help I have identified some things that you may have on your possession that may shine
and some suggestions as to how to reduce this possibility.
o Zips, shoe eyelets, pop studs etc. – Buy clothing that uses buttons instead of zips, or avoid shiny
metal zips etc. Alternatively cover them with non-reflective or black tape. Using gaiters can
help reduce shine from shoe lace eyelets.
o Tripod Legs – Most tripods have either silver or black metal legs and due to their circular leg
shape run the risk of reflecting any stray light. Therefore it is best to cover the legs. Some
camera shops and websites sell special camouflage covers but this can work out expensive. An
alternative to this is using pipe lagging that you can buy from any large DIY store. Although do
make sure that this is of a suitable colour and that it too will not reflect light.
Other solutions include fixing non reflective material around the legs or the tripod as a whole.
Suitable materials can include DPM Material, Cotton mesh, Leaf scrim, cammo netting, and plain
or patterned non reflective material, or DPM Tape.
3. Other more extreme solutions include painting your tripod or lightly sanding the sheen off of
your tripod legs.
o Camera – you camera can also reflect light with its sleek shiny body. The most obvious part of
the camera that can do this is the lens and this is the only part you cannot successfully cover if
you want to still take the best photographs you can. To cope with the other parts of your
camera there are various alternatives available to you.
Camera Armour is a rubber jacket that can fit over your camera and comes in black and
DPM styles. Available for the most popular Cannon and Nikon DLSR’s only. Additional
extras by the same company include battery grip jackets, lens jackets, and lens cap
covers.
Other products available to purchase include lens covers and camera covers in a variety
of materials and finishes.
Alternatives solutions are similar to masking your tripod (above).
o Boots or Shoes – leather or synthetic material boots and shoes that are well cared for last.
Therefore polishing shoes and boots is important to maintain them and keep them waterproof.
Unfortunately polished leather can reflect light so before going out give them a coat of polish
but don’t shine them. This also helps to create an extra coating that you can wash mud off of
o Jewellery – By its very nature jewellery is designed to be shiny as an outward display of wealth.
So minimise the amount of jewellery you wear. Where you have jewellery that you cannot take
off try covering it or wearing it inside clothing. Rings can easily be covered with gloves, tape etc.
o Watch – most people wear watches and these are also a great source of reflecting light. The
most obvious solution is to take it off but this may not be the most useful solution so other
possible solutions include covering it with long sleeves, gloves, tape or a custom watch cover.
o Skin and hair – Healthy clean hair has lustre as does hair that hasn’t been washed for a while as
the natural oils your hair produce coat the hair. Skin can also become oily and both skin and
hair should be considered as sources of shine. Hats, scarves, face veils, camo face paint etc. can
all be utilised to help cover areas that may create shine. Lastly nail varnish whether coloured or
plain and false nails should also considered as another potential source of shine.
• Shadow – if working at night, early morning or late evening your shadow will be long (as it’s lit by a low
sun or moon) and can cover a great distance depending on where you are positioned. This can be easily
identified from a great distance as a human shadow. Therefore with this in mind there are a few
procedures that you can take to minimise this. Avoid high ground where your shadow is easily
projected long distances. Use cover and keep to low ground so your shadows are intermixed with other
shadow or contained in low ground. Keep low reducing the size of your shadow. If stationary stay low
or behind cover.
4. • Silhouette – A variant of shadow is the human silhouette where backlit by either the sun or moon. The
human form can be identified at a vast distance if on open ground or on high ground such as the crest of
a hill. Therefore as with shadow look to ways of reducing your silhouette by using cover, getting low or
travelling below the horizon if possible.
• Sound – Any alien sounds in an area may silence any wildlife noises, as the wildlife within ear shot try to
identify any noise as a threat or not, producing a pocket of non-sound. This pocket will help identify,
you, your position, speed and direction and alerts any animals you may be tracking to your presence.
Therefore try to reduce any noises by ensuring your kit is as noiseless as possible, including the clothing
you are wearing, and keep any sounds as muted as possible. If while moving and you break a branch
etc. and the area becomes silent of animal noise. Stop and wait for any wildlife noises in the area to re-
start before continuing to move as otherwise any further noise you create will act as a warning of a
threat to any animals in the area.
• Speed – Human eyes are much attuned to movement and this is how martial arts and the moving of
weapons quickly causing rapid movements creates an effective method of attack. Any human eye is
drawn towards any fast movement making a secondary attack hard to judge and defend. Animal eyes
are equally attuned to movement as predators will attack quickly and the ability to react on just a
glimpse of fast movement maybe all the quarry has to stop it becoming lunch. Therefore moving
quickly is a sure way to draw attention to yourself. Even if you can do this quietly your movements
alone may help spook any wildlife in the area. Remember some animal’s eyesight is far superior to
human eyes so remember the old adage “slowly, slowly catchy monkey”.
• Smell – Another sense that animals can posses depending of the species that far outstrips the human
ability is smell. Avoid pungent cosmetics products (aftershave, perfume, shampoos etc.), Keep clothing
and equipment clean and avoid pungent detergents or fabric conditioners. Use natural soap and
washing products or use less then the suggested amount to reduce the pocket of smell around you.
The opposite to the above “hyper clean” is more of a problem as throughout the ages mankind lacked
the ability, understanding and products to mask any body odours and as such many animals associate
the smell with humans and therefore danger.
Finally to increase your chances of getting close to an animal, approach from down wind as this both
reduces the sound and smell issues.
• Straight lines – Cat owners will be able to confirm that when a cat stalks something they do not
approach it directly but crouch down low and slink towards it in a zig-zag pattern, and only accelerate
when they are within striking distance. Why? Any movement perceived as coming straight at you (and
animals) is immediately processed by the brain as a potential threat so by not approaching an animal
directly you can reduce the animal’s ability to notice you.
5. • Spacing – If travelling or working with others always travel and keep apart. The more people condensed
in an area, moving or stationary the easier they are to detect.
Remember
Wildlife is part of the food chain and as such spends a great portion of its life trying not to become pray of larger
predators. This is an automatic ingrained survival system that we humans have lost over our centuries of
“domestication”. Therefore any understanding of skills that allow you to approach wildlife closer should be a
bonus to your wildlife photography repertoire. I am not suggesting that you camouflage-up with half a forest
stuck to your body crawling on your belly through a dip in the land like a one-man action hero film. But I am
suggesting an appreciation of how humans betray their presence maybe of use to you if you wish to improve
your wildlife photography skills.
