Doing nature photography is learning about what you want to photograph, it is studying the species, its behavior, its environment, its preferences. All that previous research work generates expectations. And this is where I want to emphasize: that expectation has a huge emotional charge which can make it difficult to make decisions when it comes time to take the photo. And this is where I tortured and frustrated myself (as if I were an inert object without feelings or emotions!): that I don’t know how to compose, that I don’t know how to expose, how ugly this frame is, it is shaky. “You missed your only chance!” I repeated myself for a long time after coming across a pod of orcas in the waters of Golfo Nuevo, Patagonia Argentina. That encounter was not premeditated, it was not even calculated, it was completely surprising… the orca being one of my favorite animals in this world, without mentioning that it has the difficult figure of the cetaceans. And there was the dark side of the brain again, pecking at me incessantly like a woodpecker to the rhythm of “you’re not good for this.”
