Drone photography has really taken off and for good reason. Some drone taken images are just wonderful. If you look at really good wildlife images though you will notice they are often taken from eye-level or lower. There is just something about being at the animal's level; seeing things from their perspective. It makes it appear as if you are with them. Photographing wildlife from a low angle also creates a bit of wonder. It makes people ask, "how did he/she shoot that?"

Get down low. Lay down if you need to (as long as it is safe to do so). Such images have a unique perspective. Viewers love to be shown things in a way they have not seen before. Most viewers will never see a guinea fowl from this angle which makes the image more special. This perspective also makes the animal seem larger and taller than what it really is.

          When shooting upwards make sure that your sky is not distracting or just plain definitionless gray. If the sky is not pleasing then don't include it. In an attempt to create a special connection with the animal it helps to shoot from eye-level or lower. It almost makes the viewer feel part of the scene instead of looking down on the animal. As photographers, it is our job to find intriguing and interesting angles to shoot from. For animals try shooting from low down.
