This blog article is part of a series about photographing water birds. In this article I’ll talk about the impact of the perspective and why photographing on eyelevel can often work out the best. Since the 2-3 years that I have been intensively working with water birds, I have probably taken tens of thousands of photos of this exciting group of species. But almost all my pictures have one thing in common. The photos are all taken at more or less eye level with the bird. In this blog article, you’ll find out, why I almost always decide for a very low camera position.
