Some would think that nothing but hawks, buzzards and owls would not make for a very good show, but this is the Renaissance Festival.For amateur photographers such as myself it's all about volume, luck, and post-capture cropping and tweaking. In fact - just as in most area of life - the ones who appear to be winners are not the ones with the most talent, but those that work the hardest. I find great joy in sitting down to manipulate these pics to my own satisfaction, and if a few good ones have resulted then that's just gravy.
He probably didn't know it at the time, but it was my traveling companion to Enchanted Rock that brought me back down to earth about all this. We were talking about the results of our work when he mentioned that the only customer he cares about is himself...he takes the pictures and edits them in post-capture to satisfy his vision and no one else's. Thus, there is a greater blessing in a work that is uniquely one's own, and no one else's, because no one else can fill the niche specifically created by those talents...
