"Oh, your pictures are so beautiful. Mine never look like that," exclaim many people when they see our images. "What kind of camera do you use?" Time and again we explain that it isn't the dummy camera that creates the beautiful pictures. It's the dummy behind the camera. Honestly, it isn't the film, it isn't the camera, it isn't the lens, and it isn't the location. It is the person with the finger on the trigger who captures the beautiful pictures. It is all about the photographic approach. When we approach a potential photograph, we come to the scene with years of experience that has been flavored by numerous photography classes and training programs. Teaching nature photography, we notice that beginning students are so taxed with all the information they have to consider before they press the shutter, just taking the picture overwhelms them. In time, they, too, come to understand that they have to approach photography in a step-by-step process, initiated at each location, and reinitiated upon each repositioning within the location.
