Thank you for sharing this set and giving an insight as to how you create the image and the thought process behind it. Enlightening.

I am interested too as to the polariser you use with the 16-35mmm lens. Doesn’t the extreme wide angle create problems with vignetting or an uneven polarisation effect?

Thank you very much Art for this very good lesson. I have found much inctructive for me! I think that the best photo is penultimate. The eagle see on the very good and interesting angle, and both hunters too. It’s the best photo. Working in this situation difficult but very interesting! Mongolia is one of the minority countries where have stored historical culture ancient timeses. People in this country very poor. I heard that on development Mongolia is found approximately in 18 century!
Thank you Art for your very interesting Travels on the Edge! We are woke traveling with you, when we watch your programs! Sorry if i make some mistakes, I not very good speak English!

Art, that was a very helpful example series, particularly how you go around the entire frame looking for “flaw” (like shadows on faces and direction of the eyes). I think this a great format for viewers!

Very well done. It’s always nice to get inside a masters head to see how he approaches things. What’s acceptable and what isn’t. I like the step by step with the photographs to help. Well done and thank you.

Thanks Art, a great little walk through. Looking forward to more of these! It’s a little more in depth into something we saw in Travels to the Edge.

I really enjoyed your description of how you worked with the scene to get the strong composition you wanted.

Great series of images displaying the thought process that went into the final image. Very educational!
