This image was taken in Lahaina on Maui 02 May 2008 72.0 dpi / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 / Metering Mode Evaluative Metering / White balance compensation B1 M1 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / ISO Speed 200 The Moluccan Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis, also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 50 cm, it is the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened, revealing hitherto concealed bright red-orange plumes to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement, or other ‘emotional’ displays). It also has one of the louder calls in the parrot world and in captivity is a capable mimic. In the wild the Moluccan Cockatoo inhabits lowland forests below 1000m. The diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts and fruit, as well as coconuts The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are being bred in captivity. Potential owners should be fully aware of the husbandry requirements of the species. The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet. A typical Moluccan Cockatoo needs around eight hours of daily attention from its caregiver to keep it happy. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo develops health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities. / Information Source: Wikipedia

The river valley in edmonton, alberta, canada. Tried to create a hyper real effect by pushing the raw setting. It gives it a simulated HDR feel. I also applied an Orton type effect to it after converting to black and white, I think this is representative of winter in the capital city.

For over half my life, I lived in small town Alberta. A town of 6000 people, mostly farmers, ranchers and blue collar workers. I couldn’t get out soon enough. Now, after living in the City for 12 years, I can’t wait to get back, if only for a few days. The town is surrounded by fields of Canola and Wheat. An island in an ocean of crops like the one you see now.

The High Level Bridge in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada spanning across the North Saskatewan River in the winter of 2008. Originally shot in color then converted to black and white. I applied a slight Orton effect after pushing the raw settings to expose a little more of the dynamic range.

I am really fond of the hyper real effect and try to incorporate some of it into my work. Not HDR, but pushing the raw settings to create an extended dynamic rangr effect. Sometimes it works. Other times it does not. Shot at Capital Ex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, summer of 2008.

There is something magical that happens when you walk into a tent of butterflys. Immediately, your world is tranformed into a scene from Legend (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/). Butterflys swarm you and stick to every part of your body. It’s awesome. / featured in ! # 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE !

Times are tough. The economy is bleak and people are suffering on a global scale. Myself included. My frustration and depression are my inspiration for this shot. I wanted to create an image that could express these feeling and at the same time remain faceless. In other words, i am just another person you pass in the street or sit next to on the bus. Suffering in silence. 709 views “Distress” was featured in Pleasure & Pain / Featured in Photographers self portrait / Featured in Black and White Photographers / Featured in Self Expression

I’ve been really interested in doing still life photography lately and experimenting with light setups. Fruits and vegitable seem tailor made for this kind of work. “Three Bananas” was featured in the group Olympus and Four Thirds Group

I was recently inspired by the bronze and marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin “The Thinker”. I have been accused of always thinking and Rodins sculpture says it all. I tried to pose to reflect that image but, regardless of how natural The Thinkers pose appears, I found it to be totally unatural. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the work.

This beautiful Macaw may be seen at the lovely Tropical Gardens of Maui ~ near Wahinepe’e and Keopuka Ridge in Puohokamoa Valley / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Featured Art Inspired Art 05 June 2009 / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi “Macaws are large colourful New World parrots, classified into six of the many Psittacidae genera: Ara, Anodorhynchus, Cyanopsitta, Propyrrhura, Orthopsittaca, and Diopsittaca. They are the largest birds in the parrot family in length and wingspan, though the flightless Kakapo is heavier. Parrots are zygodactyl, like woodpeckers, having 4 toes on each foot – two front and two back. Their native habitats are the forests, especially rain forests, of Mexico and Central and South America. They are called Guacamayos in Spanish and Araras in Portuguese. The majority of macaws are now endangered in the wild. Five species are already extinct, and Spix’s Macaw is now considered to be extinct in the wild. The Glaucous Macaw is also probably extinct, with only two reliable records of sightings in the 20th century. The greatest problems threatening the macaw population are the rapid rate of deforestation and the illegal trapping of birds for the bird trade. Macaws have been said to live for up to 100 years; however, an average of 50 years is probably more accurate. The larger macaws may live up to 65 years. Macaws are ready to breed when they are about 7 or 8 years old. The decision to have a Macaw as a pet should be seen as a life-long commitment, as it will likely be a companion for life and many even outlive its human keeper. They are monogamous and mate for life. In captivity unmated Macaws will bond primarily with one person – their keeper. Pet Macaws thrive on frequent interaction, handling and love just as humans do. Lack of this can lead to their mental and physical suffering. Other sub-bondings also take place and most Macaws that are subjected to non-aggressive behavior will trust most humans and can be handled even by strangers if someone familiar is also alongside. Without proper adult supervision, Macaws are unsuitable as pets for children. All species of Macaws have very powerful, large beaks and are capable of causing considerable harm to both children and adults. They are delicate creatures and require respectful and loving husbandry from handlers.” Information Source avianweb.com macaws info
