What does it take to capture the perfect shot in the wild? For Belgian photographer Michel d’Oultremont, patience is key. Poised and ready, he often waits for days to see any action. When the animal finally emerges in his viewfinder, the intense rush of emotion in that micro-instant of life makes the process worth it.

I love the fact that the film was shot in a style that matched the photography. It really helped to create a seamless feel. The way the subject never overpowered the scene, but was always to be discovered either by position or the low light. Very clever and film making and almost a tribute to the style of Michel's photography. Wonderful!

you go out there with your camera, miserable in the elements, patiently waiting - that's joy in itself; shot or no shot. Cameras are merely instruments to tell others of the story. Besides; sometimes you'll miss the opportunity to capture the moment doesn't mean you didn't live in it.

Much the same feelings when photographing Moose near my home. The rush after days spent tracking and waiting at a pond for the quarry to get thirsty. Silent and still as to not disturb anything around you, a quite meditation that doesn't require you to even have your eyes open. It really is the most complete peace and tranquility I've ever experienced. But when that animal who could easily kill you steps into your view, you have this surge of adrenaline that makes it difficult not to shake, overwhelming and powerful. And as it fades you are left with a sense of completion that no modern luxury has ever provided. It is ..Nature

When I watched this video, I remembered the days when I got altitude sickness in the Himalayas during my Himalayan trek to Kanamo Peak (19600 feet). I had to stay back at Kanamo Basecamp (16500-17000 feet) and was all alone, but lucky to see some of the wild animals that had come in search of water. We had camped next to the stream and all animals had to come there for water. And was lucky enough to get some award winning shots. Will make a video of that soon and share my story.
