Hi Sandor

How did you get to it so low?

Thank you, Derek, for watching and for your interest. I always try to make photos at the eye-level of the subject. I either lay down when it is possible or just hold the camera at that level. In this particular case, I turned down the backscreen of the camera (so I did not look through the finder) and was holding the camera about 10 cm above the level of water. It is not an ideal situation, mainly because the visibility of the backscreen is quite poor in daylight. Notwithstanding, I still can see what I want to make a photo of and use autofocus that can be corrected on the screen. This way about half of my photos are sharp enough, so I discard the other half. About half of the remaining photos are not not good because something important is missing, e.g., the tail or the head of an animal, etc. Finally, I select the reasonable ones from the remaining 25% if at all. Best,- Sandor

Thank you Sandor for sharing the insides. To be on the eye level with the subject bring a new perspective and makes it more interesting.

Excellent background and crop to bring the bird forward and in the limelight, Sandor. The colors really balance out between the bird and the rest of the image. Best regards, Paul.

Thank you, Paul, for viewing. Kind regards, Sandor
