[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 305401, member: 9240"] Very cool, Rick. We're extremely fortunate where we are. It's not a large yard (1/2 acre total space), but we're backed to a field, so the backdrop isn't required. The lack of neighbor activity also helps keep them in the yard once we get them. Over the 20 years we've been here we've fostered a sense of trust with the critters so that they don't seem to spook as easily, even when I stand up to shoot. That said, we installed a "family-sized blind" last year (pardon the iPhone shot thru the screen). Works great for those hummingbirds. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]88684._xfImport[/ATTACH] The "bokeh board" is a great idea, btw. I think you need to patent it. :) [/QUOTE]
