Get Down, Get Down, Get Down

This morning Ashok and I went looking for shorebirds in Alviso, and ended up flopped on our bellies in the soggy pickleweed. For fun. On purpose.

Why? Well, turns out there's no substitute for getting down at eye level with these guys, it really does make the images more immediate, more compelling. I'm quite happy with this one here, it was sharp enough to warrant printing at 13" by 19", which is pretty rare in my experience for a 8MP DSLR.
