Title: [Theme] The decisive moment....
Post by: Kitanikkor on December 23, 2015, 05:29:12
I'm not sure how Cartier-Bresson would define it, but for me the decisive moment comes the split second between the decision and the act.

Here's mine....let's see yours....

Kitanikkor - I can see that reactionary moment in your photo, very nice.  Here is my own moment, just before the act.

The decisive moment is not only for the human beings.  The black drop phenomenon during the transit of Venus.

Wow, what a great catch. Beautiful OOF background, too. More than the usual BIF.

Mike and John, many thanks.  The D750 is a very good camera for action. The Bee Eaters some times give an indication that they are about to launch after a flying bug , sometimes not .  In this instance it gave me an indication but you never know what direction they will go  ;)
