SavageduckI know, but that's how some birds land. I was thinking of putting a toilet behind him.

Because I like to photograph people, I rank the ability to *anticipate* right up there with *seeing*. Just seeing people that are photographable isn't enough. I have to get better at anticipating where they will move, what they will do, and what dynamic may be in the offing.
Anticipation is #1 when it comes to wildlife and sports.
Earlier today I was out in a park on a lake. There was heron on the bank and a small boy was walking toward the heron. I had my camera trained on the heron, but the boy stopped.
The father came up to me and asked if I'd taken a photo of the boy since my lens was pointing in that direction. I explained that I thought the boy would cause the heron to fly away, and I was waiting for the bird to fly. A shot of a sitting heron is no big deal, but a shot of a heron taking off could be.
Here's one landing. I was watching him for a while, as I knew he was finding sticks for nest building.

If Rita Berkowitz was still around we might have had a shot of a Labrador crapping.
