The closer to the ground you can get the camera, the better the photo usually is. Even crouching down a bit can give you a better angle on the bird than standing straight up, but getting down to ground(bird) level usually makes for the best shots. That's not always practical depending on the circumstances, but when time and location are cooperative, getting down and dirty can provide for some great shots. https://www.maxwaugh.com/2016/10/19/getting-down-and-dirty-photographing-wildlife-from-low-angles/ Nice shot BTW.

xpoetmarcr 1,021 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 One of my favorites. This waxwing flew in and was about 10 feet from where I was standing and stayed there to allow me to get a few shots. It looked like he was posing for me! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
