CNPA Charlotte October meeting The Bird Lovers Project

Hi Everyone

Fall has arrived  and we have many folks out to shoot the Elk this week (myself included) and many more waiting for the inevitable color change of the leaves. All projections are that this will be a fantastic year for Fall colors.
Our meeting this month is “The Bird Lovers Project” by Jeff Eichinger, if you have been out photographing birds you have probably run into Jeff, I found him on a trail near lake pongo.  And his bird images are fantastic.  The meeting will be ZOOM ONLY as all of our coordinators are out of town, did I mention Fall photography…. 
The Bird Lovers ProjectYears ago, I considered myself a photographic generalist. Why specialize in any one type when you enjoy them all ?  I guess I was waiting for one to choose me. I became a bird watcher and lover before I decided to have a specialty. But not too much longer I was spending more time (and money) trying to get better bird images. I was hooked! My cameras were purchased based on how good they were for shooting birds, over other subjects. I had become a bird photographer!
In recent years I’ve become intrigued with the idea of ‘Photo Projects’. My favorite one has been The Bird Lovers Project. It’s not about bird lovers like me (and maybe you?) but about the birds, as the lovers.
