I captured this image of a GBH while leaning over the side of a small footbridge, holding the camera at arms length, trying to compose looking down at the non-articulating rear LCD at an almost 90º angle. It was taken with my 5DIV and a 70-200/4 +1.4x extender (1/800, f/7.1, ISO100). In the original capture the shoulder of the bird was oof, but I had several frames with focus all over the place due to the janky way I was holding the camera. I focus stacked two images (one for the head and one for the shoulder) to create the final image.

Another angle, showing where the GBH was actually hanging out. I was standing on the bridge above, hanging over the side, to take the first image. I'm amazed the heron didn't take flight, given how close I was to it.
