On a safari, the height of the Jeep is a constraint that often forces photographers to capture their subjects from a top-down perspective. This is especially true with relatively close animals photographed with mid-telephotos like a 70-200mm (or 100-400mm); they will be “squashed” against the ground, preventing that coveted eye-level point of view. In these cases, getting the lens as low as possible can be key. Today, let’s look at a simple and effective way to do just that.

It’s just after five in the morning when, after a series of heavy rains, we finally rattle our way along an eroded dirt road into the small village of 23 de Junio at the foothills of Ecuador’s western Andes. A light drizzle hangs in the air. Or is it just dense fog? For a region that receives up to three times more rainfall than the Amazon, this actually counts as beautiful weather. We’re at 1150 m above sea level, roughly where the jagged landscape of countless rolling hills begins to rise into steep slopes, culminating in the nearly 5,000-meter volcanic peaks of Pichincha and Atacazo or Cozarón.
