, 1/250 f/11.0, ISO 200, tripod.

E' rimasta vent'anni in un angolo buio dell'armadio in cui tengo le attrezzature ormai andate in disuso tanto, che quasi l'avevo dimenticata. Eppure era stata una preziosa compagna in alcune delle esperienze fotografiche che piu' ci avevano dato soddisfazioni. Il martino, l'allocco, l'upupa, il porciglione: lei era sempre con noi, indispensabile per le riprese in volo o dove il buio non consentisse di inquadrare. La nostra vecchia e cara fotocellula aveva sempre svolto in maniera egregia il suo dovere, in coppia con la mitica Hasselblad ELM e tre flash sunpak, con riduttore di potenza.Tutte le volte che riaprivo l'armadio e la vedevo lì, impolverata, tanta era la voglia di rivivere le emozioni vissute anni prima con l'allocco e che mai avevo riprovato, neanche lontanamente, con l'avvento del digitale. Ma è un genere di fotografia che, oltre alla tecnica ed all'esperienza, richiede un impegno fisico notevole che, chi non ha provato, nemmeno immagina. Il progetto richiede mesi di preparazione e l'immagine finale è solamente l'ultimo atto di un lavoro che parte con la costruzione ed il posizionamento di alcuni nidi artificiali, che avviene anche un anno prima delle sedute fotografiche. Serviva uno stimolo per riprovarci, e questo me lo ha dato Luca, un utente del forum con cui poi ho stretto amicizia. Mi ha contattato circa un anno fa, incuriosito da alcune nostre vecchie immagini dell'allocco postate sul forum e mi ha chiesto in quale modo si potessero realizzare. "Vi è un solo modo per scattare queste foto: farlo con passione!" fu la mia risposta. Lo misi alla prova facendogli costruire alcuni nidi artificiali ed al momento opportuno, dopo che un allocco aveva occupato uno di questi e che i piccoli avevano ormai dieci giorni di vita, abbiamo iniziato a fotografare. Ha capito immediatamente che questo genere di fotografia non e' per tutti e chiunque volesse intraprendere questo percorso, senza essere seguito da un fotografo esperto, non puo' che fare danni. Ma sono altresì convinto di aver letto nei suoi occhi, dopo aver visto i primi risultati, le stesse emozioni provate da me vent'anni prima. Questi sono stati i primi due allocchi a cadere nella trappola. Gli altri, quelli veri, li trovate nella mia galleria.

“ He understood immediately that this kind of photography is not 'for everyone and anyone who wanted to take this path, without being followed by a skilled photographer can not' do damage. „

No, I'm still here to break the boxes free ... :-D
I want to tell you that in my small way I appreciate reading these things.
I think it is important that the nature photographers with years of experience on the shoulders
indent these topics. This is "Disclose" for the good of nature and are convinced that it is
very helpful at all ...
Congratulations!

Exciting and interesting the rest of the story ... :-D

“ . But I'm also convinced that I have read in his eyes, after seeing the first results, the same emotions felt by me twenty years ago. „

Well I do not even professional I'm getting close to this kind of pictures and advice that you gave me are very useful, I can guarantee you that already the past few weeks to study the place, the various tests, the 9 hours spent in the car to get to and from home are already exciting! to enrich the whole thing now is the season of love deer so every time I go to the place where I'm preparing everything there is this deep, rumbling sound of the roar of the many deer that inhabit the woods, which make the atmosphere even more exciting , quanche time is also the chills on the skin, I must say that if the project is successful it will be an unforgettable experience, and I thank you for letting me sent! Thank you very much! Of course I want everything goes according to plan, and not being an expert I am studying everything in great detail especially fordo no harm to the animal and not to disturb him! I sent you an e-mail here to rave about Juza look for your answer! :-) :-)

You're mythic..... For passion, technique, professionalism and ethics... An example. It reminds me a lot of the photos of another great Paul Fioratti
