One of the golden rules of wildlife photography is to try to photograph your subjects at eye level or lower. The reason for this rule is simple: when you’re at eye level with your subjects you feel much more of a connection… it’s like you’re one of them. The opposite is also true. When you look down on your subjects, it metaphorically feels like you’re looking down on them. This is often called ‘the zoo perspective’, and it’s not good.
