NOW RUNNING - go check out the articles! 
Capturing distinctive bird images Photography Forum
This is a new scheme that we are looking to roll out later this month and focuses upon promoting more in-depth and higher level discussion and content on the site as well as encouraging us to all share and learn a bit more about each other and what we do.
The articles to be presented can take any form creators wish from written to written with photos to video. The delivery isn't as important as the content; the idea is to go into depth, as much as you are capable and willing to give. Indeed the more depth you go into the better as the idea really is to start to put out some higher level and more structured discussion.
Note that the topic can be anything - really anything photography related. It might be a discussion on a recent project or photo-trip you did; a method you use in the field; an editing method; a full run through from concept to print; how you came to photography; how you started your business; how you develop your film photos; your experiments in wet-plate photography; your medium format stuff; a walk through and history of your camera collection etc.....
Really anything you want. You might even decide to use it to write out a more in-depth answer to common questions you find yourself answering; taking the time to go more into detail than you might otherwise have the time for in individual threads when replying.
The itinerary will go something like this:
1) You commit yourself to the scheme, this is simply to help us spread out the release of these discussions so that we don't swamp the site all on day one and can thus hope that everyones discussion gets due attention and focus.
You can compose more than one if you so wish, indeed the more the better.
2) You get to writing - and taking pictures - taking videos - whatever you need to make to get your article composed and ready.
3) We start releasing the articles spread out over at least one week; how many per day and how long we keep releasing really depends upon how many get involved and take part as well as activity during the week itself.
So if you want to take part sign up below and lets hear what discussions you want to contribute. Remember you can do more than one. I'm expecting to run this on the 16th or 23rd of this month (February) pending how many sign up and also how many complete projects in time.
Remember if you do sign up please don't post your article just yet and wait for your slot (you can use any waiting time to polish and improve).
NOTE - you do not have to have any formal training nor schooling to take part. You don't have to be a pro and you don't have to be award winning. What you have to be is keen to write about your area(s) of experience and knowledge and eager to share, discuss and even debate the topic(s) you present

NOTE 2 - you do not have to write unique articles to each other. If someone else is doing the same or similar topic as you want to do that is fine - you do yours your way. Even two photographer writing about the same topic will have different viewpoints; different ideas and indeed even simply a change in the language and structure can appeal to different readers. So don't worry, you do what you want how you want.
