Hi I just thought I would share my thoughts on when taking photos that its best to get atleast to eye level of the animal that you are shooting, this results in a much 'creamier' back ground. I will post a few examples.
The below photo is me standing up and shooting down on the subject.
F2.8 1/1000 ISO 200 / 200mm
And this one is me standing aswell, you can see the amount of area in focus.
F7.1 / 1/1000 / ISO 2000 / 400mm
This one is me lying on the ground as you can see there is little in focus and the bird stands out from the creamy background.
F7.1 / 1/1000 / ISO 110 / 400mm
And for another comparison
Lying on the ground.
F6.3 / 1/640 / ISO 160 / 400mm
Sitting in vehicle
F6.3 / 1/1000 / ISO 320 / 400mm
