Swans feeding time

Fantastic shot!!! Really nice!

That's amazing, Brian.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested to read how you took the shot?

Cheers.

I made a attachment using a plate and a couple of straps aprox 2-3 ft long fitted to a handle with a remote control attached to it with Velcro. you can then take photos at ground level without bending down. I then fix a float to the bottom of the plate with Velcro so it will rest on the water . I have a patent on the said design.

Thank you, Brian - most ingenious. Can you see what you're shooting - e.g. is there a mirror on your gadget - or is it just down to luck and judgement?

Cheers.

I brought a 600D to use with it so I can flip the screen. I also use my 7D a lot as its good to go shooting and not sure what you get just snap away and don't waste time composing . You don't miss much using 10-20 set at 10. set on manual 10to30 th sec and pre focus 3m just snap away as with the swans.

Thank you, Brian.

Cheers.
