Thank you for this. I was missing the good old days with you being on the field whithout gear reviews, just sharing your joy when doing what you love. I believe gear reviews is what "sells" nowadays but I enjoy much more watching your videos when you're outside and taking photos! Cheers!

Too right mate,infomercials get old time after time.

[@173jaSon371]

@@ladyethyme I hear you, but how often do you plan on buying new gear? If you've watched a couple dozen gear reviews and know enough about cameras, then you've seen all the reviews that you need. The rest of photography is, well, doing photography! That's what most people are going to want to see. I appreciate how good Duade is at thoroughly reviewing gear, but I'm not buying a new setup from a new brand every month lol.

[@barryarnold1241]

Short, but very sweet. More like this please Duade.

[@NECPER]

I absolutely prefer you being out with the camera - explaining your techniques. This video is particularly good - not too long (videos more than 20 minutes I usually postpone) and demonstrating one very important principle. I just got surgery with a new full right knee, so I will not get on the ground in the next few months. Our swans are white, but I found black swans i France that I photographed. They must have been imported by sailors centuries ago, I suspect. Thanks for sharing your easy-to-understand demonstration video. / Per Christensen, Denmark

Get well soon!!!❤

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

Get well and get a lawn chair and a tripod (or free hand it) and keep shooting. When I broke my tibia years ago, I threw all my gear in a backpack, strapped a lawn chair to it, I'd drive to my local dam, post up in the lawn chair and shoot until I rain out of juice or storage. I couldn't work so it was the only way I kept sain.

[@Duade]

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear about the knee injury, I hope all is well soon and you are able to get down in the mud with those beautiful White Swans. Cheers, Duade

Another Great Video. It really shows what getting at eye level can accomplish. When I first started shooting, I always seemed to be on Embankment or Irrigation Ditch shooting down or shooting up in a tree. I would go home and be extremely disappointed in the shots I took. But now I often will maneuver to get shots at eye level if it can be done and it really does make a world of difference. Cheers and look forward to catching up on more tips and hands-on from someone who delivers such great content. Always appreciate.

Hi Duade. Really enjoyed this masterclass video format, learn/reinforce some important techniques and get to enjoy a short trip out with you photographing some of your beautiful Aussie birds. A great addition to the video formats you already do. I really enjoy your gear test videos as well, your testing and opinion/conclusions are very helpful indeed before I/we go out and invest substantial amounts of cash on new gear for bird/wildlife photography. Probably need another video on how to get back up again after getting down as low as I can go! 😊. John

I went to a local pond recently and this content was ringing in my ears and I got some pretty good duck photos

[@andersonanderson1009]

Today I got over my ego at "looking silly crawling about on the ground. . ." - and was able to get some of the best shots I've managed so far in my short dabbling in photographing wildlife. Putting the viewer at the level of the subject is so obvious in other photography "genres" that I'm honestly kicking myself for appreciating that the same would apply to wildlife photography. . . .accordingly, I went to TARGET and grabbed a nice "mud ensemble" for my next outing.

[@Duade]

That is wonderful to hear, thanks for the feedback and good luck on your next session. Cheers, Duade

[@MrFerkles]

Thanks Duade! I've been checking for a new video in the past couple of days. I really enjoy your style of videos - very approachable and conversational, and always with a huge amount of love for what you do. I love these kinds of in-the-field content the most, although I'll also say as a newbie to photography overall, your backlog of product reviews has been invaluable in helping me choose affordable gear for me to start my own journey in wildlife photography. Cheers, and looking forward to the next in this series!

You are the few I believe when say gear doesn't matter for a good click !

[@OldJack1960]

Nice one Duade. In advancing years, as has been commented, getting down is just about doable, the problem is getting back up. Crouching is possible but only if a fence, tree etc is nearby to act as a support (the wife is too old now!) One thing you didn't cover is Canon's camera connect app (I guess other makes have their own versions) Never tried it myself but do remember seeing another KZbinr use it to take low-angle shots of elephants while in a 4x4 on safari. Be interesting to know your opinions and that of any other viewers. Cheers

[@Kellysher]

I’m a 61 year old woman. I had an injury last year and told my physical therapist I needed 1 thing. To be able to get down and back up off the ground. She laughed when I told her why! It may not look graceful, but I can finally do it. I do find that getting low is not possible due to the brush and grasses that surround most wetlands. I’m trying to understand and experiment with foreground blur. Honestly I struggle with what is artistic and what just looks like the shot was blocked. Perhaps a video on that! Thanks for being willing to share all your knowledge!

[@Duade]

Thanks for sharing, sorry to hear about your injury but happy to hear you can do it. I like foreground blur and is something I am trying to do more of. I think experimenting with these things and even breaking rules is a way to improve and take unique images. Good luck, Cheers, Duade

[@ChrisSummers]

Totally agree on getting down low for birds on land or water. But at age 69, the getting down is not so hard but the getting back up sure is!

[@jacquesberthier1470]

Excellent video; A few years ago I understood the principle of bending down to improve the background in a macro photo context. Standing up, the background is green (grass) and at ground level it is yellow (stem and flower), but also it is further away and therefore more blurry (especially in M4/3). Since then I advise beginners to circle around the subject and choose the background before composing a frame. I'm too old to lie on the ground but I use a stool which positions the camera 80cm from the ground which with a very long focal length is sufficient; This tripod-shaped position is also very stable.

[@eosuser1]

Lying on the ground and people walking past looking at me like I was bonkers. The Tamron 150-600 is a heavy lens. So, handheld shooting isn't ideal. I have a gymbal (not used yet), but I want to get that platform that you use for ground level shots.

Your reviews and images really pushed me to get the 100-400 and the same seller just happened to have the 800 as well, so I got a bundle deal. Now, it’s time to get out and shoot some birds! I’ve been on a sort of sabbatical from shooting, so I’m really looking forward to getting out with my new lenses and my R7.

Great video and advice Duade. I enjoy these technique videos.

[@noelchignell1048]

Hi Duade, Another nice video. I've been using this technique for years partially from watching some of your earlier videos and using the same ground pod and a gimbal but I now leave the ground pod and gimbal at home as it's too cumbersome and I prefer to either just lie down holding the camera just above the mud in my hands or resting on a foam pad (which I bought from an auto parts supply shop and is actually a mechanic's knee pad). Sometimes I float my camera on the water using 2 kneepads duct taped together as sometimes the bank of the lake is about 20-30cm above the water and I want to get even lower and I crouch over my camera and use the lcd screen to aim. When I do lie down and use the viewfinder I'll lie down at right angles to the camera and turn the camera upside down to get a comfortable angle without straining my neck, this works better if you have a battery grip attached. I don't bother with wet weather gear usually just wear shorts and tee shirt and a sleeveless vest if it's cold or sometimes wetsuit shorts and sleeveless wet suit vest. I also use a flagpole harness with a monopod, which a guy in Florida developed/adapted for bird photography (Ron Bielefeld of Whistling Wings Photography: www.speed-shooter.com ). When I'm using this I usually just kneel down and use the lcd screen to aim as the harness supports the camera cm above the ground or water. Cheers Noel from New Zealand

[@Duade]

Thanks for sharing your technique Noel, I agree the ground pod and gimbal do add weight to the setup that is for sure. I found with my big 500mm I just couldnt hand hold for long periods so went with the ground pod setup. That is interesting re the harness, others have mentioned this also. Cheers, Duade

I don't necessarily agree that eye level is better as so much as it is different type of shot. Also a simple lawn chair might be a better option for most older photographers. That and a Tripod. Your Black Fronted Dotterel is very similar to our American Plover. They look and run around almost the exact same way. Now that even Panasonic is bringing RAW Pre Capture to it's sub $2000 FF cameras, hopefully this will soon be standard across the board. A proper Pro level stacked sensor cropped camera would be a Great new Option for most Canon Wildlife shooters. That along with allowing the Sigma 500mm 5.6 for it's users.

Thanks Scott, both are no name brands that I got from a local outdoor store. Boots are Muck Boots. Cheers, Duade
