The outtakes of the shooters are certainly more memorable than the images of the birds which be quickly forgotten!

Yes he did just that. I didn't have the balls to do it to my 1DX2.

So glad you decided to do this series. I really enjoyed seeing the three of you in action, and learning something about your long lens techniques. Thanks for sharing!

Great shots! I admire you guys that can still get down low and lug all that heavy photo gear around all day. With two bad knees and a bad right shoulder I had to give it all up for a Nikon P900 long range point and shoot camera. Go for it while you can.

What a fantastic thread! I was the entire time scrolling through those shots with their captions.

And what the heck is up with Mitesh and those birds crawling around on top of him? Did Ron slather some dead fish oil on him or something?

Seriously, great stuff here guys. Thank you for sharing this fun get-together. Looks and sounds like you all had a blast.

Late to this party, but it sure looks like you boys had fun!!

Mitesh definitely wins the award for effort, otherwise known as the "how low can you go", or "get down on it", award.

Mitesh can actually shoot with the camera and lens half-submerged in the water. Can any other mirrorless camera or DSLR do that without an underwater housing? I think not!

Mitesh: On the 3rd image, what did you rest the lens on? Looks like a soda can to me.

You must have smelt read bad after the shoot, huh? Hope you didn't go straight to dinner room after the shoot!

I think we should all chip in and get Mitesh a Nikon 1 AW1 so he can take photo of the birds from under water!

According to the Olympus boys he should be able to just half submerge the lens/camera and get one of those cool half under/half above the water level shots!!

That's pritty neat. I 1/2 submerged my Sigma 150-600 Sport + D300 yet the camera was not smart enough to take a photo when it fell in. Spooked a flock of birds into the air and I picked up the rig and took photos of them blast off. As I took the first photo I said to my self there is no time like now to find out if it works and still dose.

Mitesh's camera after the muddy-water shoot.
Just kidding ... this is not Mitesh's camera ... but it could have looked like this!

When I see images like "6 - I don't know how anyone could get any lower.", it would be hard not to yell out "Alligator!" to see the reaction!

Great set of images, we rarely get to see the story around the images!
