Caption: Close-up of Yellowbilled Hornbill (Tockus flavirostris) using wide angle lens, Letaba Camp, Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Camera: Canon EOS 450D; Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS; Focal Length: 18mm; Shutter speed: 1/160; Aperture: f/6.3; ISO:400.
The above picture was taken using a Hahnel wireless remote shutter release with the camera placed on the ground and lens set to its widest focal length to get a “bird’s eye view” of the hornbill.

That is a great technique!
Thanks Paul, good to see your wildlife images from Thailand. We get a bit complacent in Africa, thinking this is the centre of the wildlife universe, so it’s good to be reminded of the fascinating creatures inhabiting other parts of the world.
