I was able to do some low-angle shots and I like the results very much. I hope you like them too.

    Excellant work dick! thumb.gif Like the cool tones, and low angle in the bird shots.
    I would like the iguana more if the background was blurred more.

    Nice series, Dick....I love the soft, bright green backgrounds in the bird shots. Do you have a low-angle viewfinder for shooting this way??? How did you shoot the bird without getting the camera in the water! :D

    Very nice series, Dick. I especially like the last one. The low angle reveals some details that would be lost if shot from a more conventional perspective. It also makes for a pleasing composition in all of them. Good work. thumb.gif

    No, just the belly in the sand did the trick.

    Really cool reminder that low perspective can increase the power of a wildlife shot by several fold!

    Lovely shots.

    Art Morris talks on his web site www.birdsasart.com about shooting while lying on your belly. I see you use this technique also. Well done!

    Kind of like shooting children - always shoot from their eyelevel also:):
