    From The Editor
     
    Anticipation

    What separates one photographer from the next, one whitewater kayaker from the next, one surfer from the next and on and on and on? The word that comes to mind is anticipation. It is the anticipation OE Digital Photography © Outdoor Eyes of what is about to happen that takes a person to that next level of accomplishment. Why do you sometimes gasp for air when you see a powerful photograph or a surfer that catches a 25 foot wave only to carve his way out of the impact zone. The photographer is no different than the surfer. The photographer anticipates when the sun is going to emerge at that perfect moment from behind the clouds the same way that the surfer anticipates when the wave is going to peak and break. The anticipation of that exact moment differentiates the caliber of one photographer's photograph against another, even if the two photographers were at the same location at the very same time. How do you rate your anticipation?  Top

    The Subject Calls To Me
    And I Respond

    by Manny

    I am the 74 year old retired clinical psychologist in last month's "From The Editor" section. Retirement on Cape Cod has given me the time to spend most days hiking through nature's glorious and OE Digital Photography © Outdoor Eyes generous bounty of which this superb maritime bit of land abounds. In all honesty I know nothing about the technicalities of the photographic process. When the friends with whom I share my photos ask me how I go about capturing a subject, I describe the process as follows: The subject calls to me, I respond and I enter into a relationship with it through the lens. I take it home to relive the evoked moment at will.  Top
