Re: Getting the photo vs the experience of getting the photo
I really enjoy being out there, love shooting, observing, and I really do like a lot of what I capture (I think I'm decent). My challenge it that it is beyond difficult to actually grab an image that doesn't look like just another iteration of some other really good shot that I've taken before (or seen someone else take before). Even when I look at the images of those considered to be "top" nature photographers, a lot of what I see that is impressive is more due to their ability to go to really amazing places with amazing subjects. Once you understand the technical side (assuming you have an "eye"), it's being in the proverbial right place at the right time that is the actual difference maker. At least is seems that way to me.
