Continuing with my small project of unusual viewpoints, this time I wanted to try a vintage 21mm lens (31mm equivalent) to photograph garden birds from below. I show, below, some of the results taken in early May. As before, some I find are quite amusing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting viewpoint that shows the behaviour of some wild birds. More experimenting is required though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
