EXCELLENT! THE 3 Ps help me...1) Photography position, 2) Planning, 3) Patience and persistence. Photography position...try to position at subject eye level or slightly below subject eye level. Try to position with darker background and framing foreground. Planning....for mammals, position upwind so the mammal can not smell the human. For birds, position downwind as birds launch into the wind (waterfowl launching from water, raptors launching from perch, etc. Patience and persistence. For example, here in Alaska if I see a herd of caribou or sheep or a bull moose, I position myself out of sight, but in the direction the animal is head, using the terrain to anticipate eye-level location, then wait with binoculars on the mountainside.
