...Where Is Your Camera's Soul?
by Andrea Clark

Take a moment to think about the practicalities of your photography. From the novice digicam owner to
those who have graduated from the film darkroom to digital editing, we all perform the same repeated actions. A two-way communication begins from the moment we pick up a camera. The first glance through the viewfinder frames the intended scene or object and that which we observe through the lens becomes an
extension of our own vision; the camera merely provides the mechanism for freezing
particular moments in time and providing us with images. Top

Take a moment to think about the practicalities of your photography. From the novice digicam owner to
The quality of your experience outdoors is greatly dependent on your choice of the right tent. That is why there is such a large selection to choose from... and I, might add, a tough decision. There are 4 basic components to a tent: the poles, the body of the tent, the rain fly and a tarp (ground cloth or footprint to extend the life of a tent's floor - optional). Top

...Mont Blanc The Novice Way
by Michael J. Kelly |

We are at the Gouter Hut (3,800 meters above sea level) en route to the highest point of Western Europe,
Mont Blanc (4,810m). The previous day myself, Dave, my 30 year old business partner and marathon runner and I had been marched Napoleon style halfway up the mountain. We were now suffering quite badly from altitude sickness, hence the severe headaches and nausea and decision point.

excuse for not enjoying the weekend. Since I heard it from older and wiser people, I believed in that theory. No perfect weather and the weekend experience was a total washout. As I grew older and started to enjoy the outdoors, I realized that all those people I listened to were entirely wrong. It did not have to be perfect weather to be a great weekend. I just learned to adapt to the weather conditions and choose an outdoor activity that fit into the conditions. If you learn to adapt and go with the flow, you will enjoy all types of weather conditions. As you know, each day should be enjoyed to the fullest. Don't waste a single moment.
worse, have you ever loaned money to someone and you forgot to who or how much? I have. In fact, I was told I lost my mind once or twice. And as far as money goes, if I got ten cents back for every nickel I loaned out and didn't get back because I forgot to who I loaned it to, I'd be rich! It's
frustrating, isn't it? One thing I won't lose or misplace though are my slides.
Have you ever come away from hearing a truly great story wanting to tell that story to all of your friends? Have you ever found that no matter how many times you tell that story, you never quite seem to get the response out of it as when you first heard it? I am here to tell you that every person who has ever stepped foot into the woods or into a boat has a story like this.
There are 3 categories: Wildlife, Macro and Outdoor. The winning photographers will receive a free year's membership to The Gallery. The winners are decided by visitors voting for their favorite photographs.
