This is the Atlanta Zoo’s baby panda Mei Lan. Isnt she the cutest. I converted to Black and White and then used and old style filter for texture. Nikon D80 / 55-200mm Tamron Lens / Focal length 75mm / 1/80 / ISO 100 / F/8 Sold as Card 50% of the proceeds from this sale will go to www.worldwildlife.org/pandas Facts: / Giant Panda / Ailuropoda melanoleuca / The giant panda is a National Treasure of China and a symbol of the world’s endangered wildlife. About 2,000 giant pandas survive in the wild, primarily on government-protected reserves in the mountains of central and western China. Pandas have the most specialized diet of all bears; they rely almost completely on two species of bamboo that grow in the mixed forests of these regions. This scene is set in the Wolong Reserve, which covers about 800 square miles (2,000 square km) in the Wolong Mountains, in the province of Sichuan. On the mountainsides behind the two giant pandas, brown-colored stands of arrow bamboo have flowered and died. The pandas have come down to feed on a different species of bamboo, called umbrella bamboo, that grows at lower elevations. Bamboo species go through periodic die-offs after they flower. Usually, most (but not all) plants in an area are affected at the same time. In the past, pandas coped with bamboo die-offs by simply moving to a new area, as these two have. Today, their options are far more limited. Pandas Then and Now Tens of thousands of years ago, giant pandas ranged over much of China south of the Huang Ho (Yellow River), feeding on their staple diet of arrow and umbrella bamboo. In the last several centuries, environmental changes and expanding human populations have seriously reduced the area in which these two bamboo species - and therefore pandas - can live. The panda’s range now consists of discontinuous islands of forest habitat, surrounded by seas of humanity and inhospitable terrain. China has established reserves to help protect the giant panda, but without skilled environmental management, this unusual mammal - a bear that only eats bamboo - may be extinct in the wild by the turn of the century. / /

I was commissioned to do this piece for an upcoming exhibtion here in Atlanta entitled “The Zodiac Show” – which will feature 12 different artists depicting their astrological signs. / Rather than portray Taurus the traditional way as a bull or Minotaur, I chose instead to focus on the earthy qualities of the sign and it’s ruling planetary influence – Venus.

This was taken at my work. He let me get about 4 ft from him. I am sure I could have gotten closer but his sharp claws and beak scared me LOL. Yes sitting on our mailbox :) He is a Goshawk. Possibly still a juvenile but I am unsure. Taken in Atlanta, Georgia – My Atlanta Hawk / Nikon D80 / 55-200mm Tamron lense / 200mm / f/4.5 / 1/80 / ISO 100 I did crop out the numbers on the mail box other than that as is from camera. / Hope you enjoy it. /

One of the office tower’s in downtown Atlanta. I love the architecture of this building. It’s reminiscent of art deco. Built in the early 1990’s, but given the style, it’s hard to easily place it. The angle in this photo was achieved from a neighboring observation deck. From this vantage point, 191 Peachtree Tower appears to loom far above the skyline, but of course if viewed from other directions, it’s one of many towers that make up the downtown and Midtown skylines.

Atlanta’s Midtown skyline, a constantly evolving skyline, which from Piedmont Park appears to blossom from a forest.

A photo of another Atlanta area Icon, the laughing skull in Little Five Points, part of the Facade of The Vortex. This landmark image is a people pleaser for both local residents of this artsy neighborhood as well as visitors.

Spring Dogwood blossoms captured the light this afternoon along Peachtree Dunwoody Road. Atlanta is famous for its spectacle of color each spring, and Dogwoods are definitely one of the highlights. /

Atlanta’s landmark theater, the Fox on Peachtree Street takes center stage in this original photo of this Atlanta Icon. Vivid blues and reds make this one an eye catcher. Part of a series of Atlanta Icons I’m working on…

Another in my series of photos depicting Atlanta’s Icons. The King and Queen Towers, as they are known locally if unofficially, are actually part of the suburban landscape, visible from both the I-285 perimeter and Georgia 400 expressway, they stand in the city of Sandy Springs. They have the distinction of being the tallest suburban buildings in the USA.

This magnificent flower lines the forest banks and the edges of mountain roads in north Georgia during early spring. It’s often called an orange azalea which is also of the rhododendron family. They aren’t in bloom up here yet, but I took this photo at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Makes a great canvas print Copyright © Richard G. Witham 2009 all rights reserved. / Contact the artist

Deepening spring; these day-lilies line the sidewalks and borders along Atlanta streets during this time of year adding wonderful color and aroma to an afternoon stroll. / When I took this photo the afternoon sun was at that special point where warm light is spotted with tiny spikes of sharp rays. This can make getting a good, sharp photograph very difficult, but it also adds another aspect to the subtle casts of light and color tones. / I think the hardest task for me in this sort of light is to take a sharp photo without letting in so much light that I get burnt out highlights while at the same time reducing noise in the shadows. Of course; it’s important to work quickly too because the light can change in an instant. / /
