Welcome to my earth !
Wild Life
And yet! How to explain what I can feel when my eyes meet those of a great monkey who observes me, those of a lion siestant after his meal 2 meters from me or those of an elephant who crosses the track right in front of my vehicle .
...
Wiews from away
From anthropomorphism to Stendhal syndrome (*).
If, contrary to certain guides or Rangers that I can know, nature does not speak to me directly and that I do not always understand all the signs, it happens however quite often to me to be subjugated to lose breath by its beauty . The emotion it gives me then, although less adrenaline-filled, remains nonetheless powerful.
How then to transmit this through a shot?
A panoramic image?
A first plan to attract the eye?

According to scientists, EVERYTHING is electromagnetic. Shapes, colors, smell, sound, light ...
A sunset, a car carcass in the middle of the desert, an industrial wasteland, a quirky tree, a scene of everyday life, a simple object of an exasperating banality but that the light comes to caress in a particular angle.
So many things that, seen from a certain angle and isolated in a shot, give off something powerful,
A kind of aura that can be shared.
Why ?
Listen and hear.
Touch and feel.
Taste and savor, ...
There are so many ways to use our senses (and everyone has his own) but that of sight, it is perhaps a little more singular.
Watch or see? It's not the same thing at all. You can spend all your life looking at the world without seeing it, like a landscape that runs behind the window of a train.
"Seeing" means scrutinizing, probing, discovering, analyzing and, in the end, knowing what you are looking at.
The little city dweller, occasionally on vacation with his grandparents in the countryside, will see cows in the fields, birds in the sky. It will be up to his cousin to teach him that, among cows, there are Holstein, Montbéliardes, Limousines .... That the sky is covered with pigeons, turtledoves, swallows, or one of the 578 species that populate our country. (I can, for example and without boasting, identify the sex of a giraffe more than 100 meters)
Does this mean that the little cousin can see what the city dweller is only looking at or can identify what you would not be able to see?
It would seem that yes, even if the little city dweller will be much more sensitive and softened by the sight of the melancholy and sweet look of a Salers and the memory of his holidays.
Many think that photography is nothing but a virtual look, an image capture, it is not wrong. The emotional implication, in a lot of clichés, only holds in the memory of the moment when the photo was taken without any emotion penetrating the image itself. Everyone has experienced the uncle James' holiday photo shoot, where, obviously, he alone was taking his foot in submerging us with uninteresting details, taking our embarrassed smile for an encouragement to perpetuate his endless logorrhoea.
Yet the image can be more than that, much more than that. More than just the reflection of light on a subject.
