Thread: The 3nd Serious Compacts Salon Challenge: Bird view !!

The new subject for this challenge is "Bird view" I like to see pics from above : use buildings, airplanes, hot air balloons, kite's, pole's, whatever...

But... safety first !!!

You will have two weeks to enter your image till Midnight on Sunday the 5th of August (Amsterdam time).

Good Luck !!

As per the format the rules are as follows.

1. Either take a picture that matches the nominated theme or select one from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the picture in order to enter it.

2. There are several ways to add your photos to the current salon thread: 1. upload your entry to your SC user gallery (all entries must be present in an SC gallery), which you automatically get if you are registered on the SC forum, so if you aren`t registered you will need to if you would like to join the fun. (Don't know about the "gallery" yet? Then read this: SC Gallery FAQ please read it carefully if you are new to using the site's software.) 2. embed from Flickr or another similar web hosting photo site and 3. use the attachment method. All three are explained here:How to post images in forum threads

3. Only one entry per salon, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement picture that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.

4. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo challenge, after all!

5. The person who submitted the chosen picture will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Salon Challenge and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the SC Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - that opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.

6. The curator can't enter his or her own salon.

7. Please, don“t be shy...Participate and have fun!

8. Each salon should be open for about two weeks.

And this is not what i meant !!!

Oh dear.

Well here's my entry. Its not exactly birds eye view, but it was as high as I could go. Lets call it a gull's eye view.

Sue,
It works for me! Love the color of the water.

It's a low angle for a "kiteflyer" but it will do

LOL, haven't had the kites up for years. I should sell them and change my nickname.

Gull's Eye ?

Think hovering raspberry loving bird's eye view.

This is a stretch... but... this is a bird's eye (in this case a Redwing Blackbird's) view of mobbing a crow...



woof!
