Feeling it! It's all about feeling what you see ...."click!" It's what you feel in your gut or sometimes your complete body is screaming, " shoot! shoot!" And those who do not, then take time dissecting the situation for shadow detail and other techie things, miss it completely. That is of course if it isn't a rock, fern, peeling paint or non-breathing item. ;-) The "GUT" shooter has a beautiful moment on film! It's such a beautiful thing to feel because all your visual, body, mind senses are just wired and when that happens don't hesitate, shoot it! If it doesn't work when you look at the film on the light table later, no big deal, that's life. However, if it works? Man you come out looking like the "King of Film!" :-) You feel good about your picture. :-) A nice, "damn I'm good!" with a smile because you shot with your gut telling you to shoot, rather than some analytical thought process. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
