The Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of a sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.
While I don't subscibe to this theory from an overall philosophical life perspective or the thought that everything that happens to us in life is the random result of something that happened in the past, it is interesting to think about the possibilities of the theory from a landscape photographer's perspective - waiting for the perfect weather/light/water movement/tide height/cloud formation in order to perfectly photograph a particular scene.
