I apologise for the stupid title but couldn’t think of any better description. Tigers are one of my favourite animals and they always amaze me whenever I get a chance to see them. This photo was taken through thick glass but the Tiger still managed to send chills down my spine. Just seconds after this photo was taken I was looking into its eyes and we were both fixated on each other. He then got up and showed his teeth and came closer to the window, it gave me quite a fright! I also learnt during this visit that the Sumatran Tiger is critically endangered, Indonesia has 65 captive Sumatran tigers living in zoos, 85 in European zoos and 20 in Australian zoos. There are 70 tigers managed by North American zoos of which the Honolulu Zoo has three. The entire captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. Taken at the Melbourne Zoo in Parkville, Melbourne, Australia with my Canon 300D and a Canon 75-300mm lens. I added a bit of contrast and clarity as I was getting really flat colours shooting through the glass, it was also a very overcast winter’s day. Also converted to HDR in Photomatix to bring out more detail and also fixed up some of the background in Photoshop. The image as a medium sized mounted print with a black border and artist’s details:

Two Zebras having a quiet moment together at the Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. Black and white conversion in Lightroom slightly cropped also to keep the focus on the Zebras. Taken with my Canon 300D and 75 – 300mm lens at 300mm focal length.

Dun Troddan and Dun Telve. Both the Brochs are twin-walled circular structures with a single doorway; off to the side of the doorway is a short passage between the walls which may have housed a guard or watchdog. Once within the inner enclosure, there is also an inner entrance leading to other passages between the curtain walls, and parts of the stairways still survive which gave access to upper levels. / The Brochs stood around 10 metres high (and both approach this height today in places). There are remains of wooden post holes at various points in the structure, and it is thought that the inner circular courtyard may have been roofed, giving comfortable living accommodation during times of attack; much more pleasant that the passageways in the curtain walls. The fine state of repair of the Brochs, acheived despite a complete lack of mortar, is a testimony to the skill of their builders.

Taken at the Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. This Lion kept wandering up and down the same stretch of fence, it must have almost been feeding time. He looked quite sad though and I tried to express this in the photo. Black and White conversion done in Lightroom with some vignetting added also. This photo was taken with my mums Canon 40D (thanks mum) as my battery died after a big day of shooting.

This cheeky monkey was seen at the Melbourne Zoo in Australia. He was playing around for ages running up and down the branch and finally he looked my way for me quick enough to take a snap, was taken through thick glass so the colours were a bit flat so I touched it up a bit. Was taken with my Canon 300D with a 75 – 300mm lens. I then desaturated some of the colours in the image with Adobe Lightroom and a bit of contrast was added.

Pa`ako Beach / Paako Beach / Secret Beach / Secret Cove / Wedding Beach / Makena Cove near Alanui Road Makena Maui Hawaii © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau There are many names to describe this beautiful secluded beach east of Makena on Alanui Road bordered by lava rocks and palm trees. The wave action is extraordinary and the golden sand is deep and luxurious. There is a large tide pool on the right of the beach which is wonderful for swimming. A favourite among the locals and enjoyed by many families with children, scuba divers and snorkelers, there are wonderful views of Molokini and Kaho`olawe Island. This is one of the most popular beaches on Maui for small weddings.

‘Ilio holo i kauaua ~ Hawaiian Translation: Dog That Runs in Rough Water / Hawaiian Monk Seal / © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau Marine Conservation Biology Institute A beautiful sleeping Hawaiian Monk Seal basking in the sun on Ho’okipa / Maui Hawai’i Monachus schauinslandi / Pinniped Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 22.April 2008 1:16:10 PM / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/320 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 400 “An adult monk seal is usually dark grey or brown with a light grey or yellow belly. Adults can be up to 7 feet and weigh anywhere from 396 to 595 pounds; adult females are generally larger than males. Pups usually weigh 24 to 33 pounds at birth and weigh up to 132 to 198 pounds within five to six weeks. The monk seal’s common name is derived from its folds of skin that look like a monk’s hood, and because it spends most of its time alone or in very small groups. Most Hawaiian Monk Seals live in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands – Kure Atoll, Midway Atoll, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Lisianski Island, Laysan Island, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Pinnacles, Necker Island, and Nihoa Island. These atolls and islands are very remote and are either uninhabited or have little impact by humans, thus providing an ideal habitat for these easily disturbed creatures. The coral reefs found around these atolls and islands provide the monk seal with its food supply: spiny lobsters, octopuses, eels, and various reef fishes. Their enemies include humans, sharks, diseases, attacks from their own species, and marine debris such as lost fishing nets and plastic products. They spend most of their time in the ocean but like to rest on sandy beaches, and sometimes use beach vegetation as shelter from wind and rain. Monk seals are expert swimmers and divers; one seal was recorded diving into depths in the range of 66 and 96 fathoms (396 to 576 feet). The average monk seal dives 51.2 times per day. The life span of the Hawaiian Monk Seal is from 25-30 years. The Hawaiian Monk Seal recovery efforts are overseen by the National Marine Fisheries Service, in cooperation with other government and private organizations and universities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages many remote islands as National Wildlife Refuges to protect their habitat. The Hawaiian Monk Seal was listed as an endangered species in 1976 under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Critical habitat was designated in 1988 from beaches to a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) around the northwestern Hawaiian islands.” Save Our Seals Hawaiian Monk Seal Information Source

After watching for a bit, I asked for permission to enter the enclosure (just like Chimp Eden). Suprisingly, he turned and gave me the evil eye. I believe the following look said it all, “Like right, just try and enter.”

Thunder, lightning, black clouds and torrential rain. Just the sort of weather needed when visiting my friends at Clontarf, NSW. Soon, the rain passed, and we were able to take a walk along the sands and through the reserve, down to the swimming enclosure. This young lad was determined to walk to the end – his favourite spot – and try his luck at catching a nice bream. Technical stuff: D80 with 18-200VR lens. No tripod or collapsible rubber lenshood. Point & shoot, then muck about with ink outlines to create the look you see here. I would have loved to have done a spot of fishing here too! / /
