Hey everyone, February is already just around the corner, and with that a new theme is being launched. For February, "Eye Level" will be the theme (formerly called "project"). We all know that being eye level to your subject creates a more intimate feeling, but it is not always easy to do so for a variety of reasons: bird perched up high, steep bank along the edge of the water, photographing from a boardwalk, or from a hide/car. When the chance does present itself to lie down in the sand/muck/snow/grass, the results can be outstanding. Show us how low you can go. Perhaps you did the opposite and climbed a step-ladder, tree, or on top of the car roof to get as high as your subject - show us the result of that too! Just remember to be safe.
If any of you have ideas for future themes to propose please feel free to send a PM or e-mail to any of the Avian moderators for consideration, we'd love to hear from you!
