  1. If you see a potential shot, walk around to find the best position from which to take it.
  2. You may also have to wait for the best light.
  3. The best position may depend on the zoom setting that you choose.
  4. In this picture, it is essential that you are looking down on the line of cattle. A lower viewpoint would not be as effective.
