Six Canada Geese in flight...

They say it does not matter how you get the picture, as long as you get it. With digital, many of us take thousands of images and then select a few keepers.

In a studio, we have control over pretty much everything; lights, background, subject (model) etc. In photojournalism, street or wildlife photography, there is no control yet some are able to anticipate, visualize and compose the scene better than others.

The less time there is to plan the photo, the more photography becomes a thing of Zen: a perfect reaction to what is going on without time for thought. When the idea of "seeing" the composition with perfect timing is more important than the photo itself, photography transcends expression and becomes meditation...
