Interesting article I know nothing of Tom. I have no probs what so ever with paid for hides. Each of us should be able to have our fun in which ever way we see fit without being judged as long as our beastie friends are catered for properly not harmed cared for.
I like Tom's words,he's told us he used paid hides,it doesn't seem like he's against them. he touches on pros being able to stay pro by diversification and part of that might be a paid hide,because I read the bottom had dropped out of the image market stock etc. I have never sold an image so know jackaabout that.
But if true then cool.............. I want profession photographers(they should be the best of us right?) to be able to make a crust so humbly maybe selfishly I can see their art and they can continue to make it.
Wildlife is a time thing,some of us have more money but hellish little time,if they can go and photograph some thing amazing and keep our art alive by proxy cool if they simply can because that's what they want to do cool i probably would if I had the dosh Man I'd love to photograph eagles up close and bears tigers pangolins and a bloody stoat if I had the dosh.
But I guess there is also the point that to attain that knowledge,WOW we are talking years surely to actually do this completely on one's own.
For me though toms words aren't about dishing paid hides, really he's trying to encourage us to "SEE" what is on our doorsteps. Folks I'm seriously blessed in that dept I know that I cherish it,but all of us can find local wildlife and really I think tom is championing
I'll add this i'm gigarious apparently I can have a crack for eons in the cold with a few togs not too many,but really I want to be in the middle of nowhere with an amazing animal trying to understand it. Me, a beastie and my darling lady, is paradise for me.. But finding and getting close(this is the bit that really shook me how close we have to be) enough to those one on ones with brit natives is really hard on one's own .
It takes time lots of time.....and an unfathomable amount of luck. You get lots of failure, day's when one simply never makes an image,it's no way to learn how a camera works.
But there is a flip to all this,if something is really hard to achieve,ya know ya bloody fight for it what ever it is,but you fight and fail alot . Say sod it and then go back, try again , when, ha ha when DOH sorry,......IF......... (it's wildlife) ..............IF you get a chance naturally the rewards are on a different level .
This isn't a money thing Tom speaks of,it's more about personal reward for me anyway if any one really grafts for something it means more to them than something come by more easily
I sort of wondered while reading writing this am I incredibly niave ,
oh I also see FC as knowledge knowledge that not only helps us get an image but also a tool.
A tool we use to know when it's best to go find something else ,
for me this wasn't just paid hides
