Canon SL1 twin-rig on a tripod, framing the bowl of a birdbath.

Shutters were operated from a distance by wireless remote control.

 

My goal was to catch a bird bathing, then extract the bowl from the background to improve composition and avoid excess stereo base.

But in over two hours I only got this squirrel, which jumped up and sat on the edge (unfortunately partly out of frame) to get a drink of water.
