Description

When you shoot in the ultra wide-angle format, getting down to ground level helps create the best image. In this video, professional outdoor photographer Ian Plant gives you tips on ground-level setups.

For ultra-wide photographs, it is important that your tripod gets you close to the ground. In one tripod brand, you can use a ground-level adapter that removes the center column and extends the legs fully. Another tripod has a removable center column. Ian even suggests setting your camera on a bean bag on the ground.
