Excellent set of images!
The eye level angle is very effective. The light and color is excellent.
My favorite of the set is #22 (you seem to have them numbered on top).
Grebes are great subjects for photography.
Dave
Thank you Dave. When the male was gone fishing sometimes the female picked small insects from the water surface to feed the chicks a bit ... maybe to calm them down a bit ?

Michael , these are absolutely spectacular !!!! Some of the best I have seen , with some very different and unique poses. Love the low level view . Extraordinary set.
By the way , welcome to the Forum. Hope to see more from you.
Birdie
Thank you Birdie! I really like to be at the right angle when taking pictures. It sometimes hurts my back, but not so long ago when I started this hobby I learnt that this is the key to take better pictures

First of all a big welcome here Michal
If you were concerned about preserving whites it is obvious that you mastered your goal, these are exquisite sir! It appears you were able to get quite close and with a low POV. Were you on shore or in a kayak or wading?
I would like to single a few out but I realized that I would be singling most everyone of them out So quite honestly just hitting the Vote button was easiest and most appropriate
Just stunning, mind sharing your gear too? Also as you may know, many camera systems have a 'preserve highlight' exposure setting that can be used or at least tried. Doesn't appear you need help though with the issue.
Excellent!

Thank you Karl!
Actually the pictures were taken either from shore (a groundpod + gimbal) or from a DIY inflatable floating hide I made over the winter.
Actually here I am standing by my construction. I am not sure it was the wisest idea to make it myself ... but I like to tinker and I had lots of fun making it! I also write an article about DIY float hides atm. It will take a while before it is completed. This is the second one I made in 1,5 years time. I am also modifing the hide to allow me to get even lower angles. I am a bit scared of drowning or wetting the setup tho.

My wife and I take pictures togher with Sony gear. We started taking pictures when we picked our first tele photo just when covid started in march 2020. So far going semi manual - manual shutter/aperture + auto iso with exposure compensation is the way I shoot. A9 (and any other camera camera) is so great with silent shooting option.

Beautiful series with exquisite lighting and exposure. I get the impression you were laying on you stomach on a paddleboard to get this perspective. Works really well!
