I do a lot of bird photography at the Murray Lagoon here in Rockhampton and have often thought it would be nice to get out in a boat to try to: a) get closer to some of the birds and b) get a different angle to the usual one shooting from the shore.

And surreptitiously I just came across this article a few minutes ago on how to use a large lens in a small boat .

Has anyone else come up with a solution to this problem?
