Many eyes see many things
Over the years I have heard of several tricks and tips from other photographers and articles, so I thought I would ask people what are their: -
favourite,
most useful,
most useless,
most controversial (but lets not get TOO side tracked, can we be helpful here and post a new thread for the discussion of extremely controversial points),
other,
tricks and tips they have heard of.
Allow me to start (cos I got thinking about this due to another thread).
Useful - BACKGROUND - print off a blurred/out of focus background to use as a portable backdrop for small birds, flowers, other small subjects. The idea is to be in control of your background so the natural background doesn't interfer with the subject.
Controversial - bring a small mouse with you when you want to attract birds of prey.
(I know, cat among the pigeons here, or at least a mouse amongst the hawks).
