Great article with helpful examples.  I'm going to think about these elements a more carefully as I think about what draws me to a scene and how to compose and expose it.

Nicely done article, Alain.  I have some friends who bristle at the idea of cloning, realistic hdr techniques, etc, but I often find it necessary to do these things to overcome the limits of the sensor and reflect accurately what I saw and how it felt to be there.

Great article, Guy.  Your blend of photography, nature writing, and personal essay is an inspiration to me.

Great information.  I like the assignment too.  I'll give it a shot.

I'm glad you are actively engaged in this work.  I'm surprised to learn Oregon is doing better on this score, but we too have a lot of work to do, and far fewer wolves.  You must have felt great satisfaction at seeing the wolves alive and well after the removal of the snares.  In Caddo indian language, teshas means both wolf and friend, and your actions indicate why.

I need to develop my skills in this area, specifically stars, planets, and nit landscapes using bulb exposure. How many chapters are devoted to night / dark v. Chapters on photography basics? Sometimes I get a book only to find that 6 chapters are on the fundamentals of aperture, shutter speed, exposure, iso, focus, and file management. I have the basics; it's the specifics I need.

This was a very thoughtful and helpful article, Alan. I'm bookmarking it for those days when I need a kick in the backside.
