I don’t think it is a coincidence that the eyes of a white bengal tiger are blue, as they always seem to be filled with sadness… As you probably know, I take a lot of photos of white bengal tigers. But I always have mixed feelings when I upload them… Yes, the animals are stunning, but the white tiger isn’t something that is found in nature, and is a product of humans breeding them for the “white tiger trade.” All white tigers can be traced back to a single tiger born with a genetic mutation in the 1950s that created a white coat and blue eyes. This tiger’s “owner” immediately saw dollar signs and started to breed him to produce other white tigers. Naturally, this required a great deal of inbreeding, which has led to many white tigers having all sorts of genetic problems. Not only this, but about 3/4 of the cubs born in the white tiger trade are actually orange. These “undesirables” are either killed or sold to game farms where brave hunters pay to shoot and kill these captive animals. Because of these horribly unethical practices, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from purchasing white tigers from such breeders and from breeding them due to the high rate of genetic defects. All of the white tigers I have photographed have been those that were fortunate enough to have been rescued from the breeding trade (including the shot Tag Team ). Most white tigers aren’t so lucky. You can help put an end to this trade by not going to circuses and animal parks that purchase white tigers from breeders. When the demand ceases, this practice will cease as well. This shot was taken with a 50mm macro lens and isn’t a crop… Yes, I was that close!! 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.

This was taken while sitting in the car. / The blue colouring is from the tint on the top of the windscreen. / The image is actually upside down. Sabbath wrote the following for this image. Check out her works too! The lady in the sky, / Watches over us with observant eyes, / Her breath blows within our hair, / The fiery warmth from her we bear, / But now from within her cloudy throne, / She lays quiet all alone, / Little droplets from her cheeks fall, / Slowly down to share to all / Slipping down on windows and splashing / Images from trees are what her tears are capturing, / The lady in the sky, / Watches over us with observant eyes, / Her tears fall for those below, / And to be captured on the window.

OK… I’m coming out of the closet…. I have a confession to make…. I bought a macro lens (Tamron 90mm Macro). As somebody that considers themselves a serious landscape photographer I feel like I have donned an anorak and now I’m a train spotter. I don’t know why, but I have never been overly interested in macro photography before ,but all of a sudden I felt the urge to try my creativity on a much smaller scale. You won’t be seeing any flowers or insects from me, but I will be trying to bring some of the principles of large scale lighting and composition to the macro world. I have to admit though that I feel very clumsy operating in the macro world where depth of field is measured in millimeters when I’m used to sometimes having infinite depth of field. This is the first of a few exercises that I have set myself to try to understand the world of macro.

As humans, especially in the western world, we tend to spend lifetimes in pursuit of the “finer things,” like sports cars and nice watches and designer clothes… Many of us despair at not being able to afford such luxuries, and so we work hard and spend hours every day to make money to purchase them… I understand this, as I like nice things like laptops and camera lenses, too, and so I work and save money just like everyone else… But then there are days that I go outside and spend time with nature and I just have to marvel at it. Whether it’s the amazing beauty of a flower, the gorgeous eyes and colors of a tiger, the cuteness in the face of a wallaby, the jeweled wings of a butterfly, the amazing scenery of our natural landscapes, the fantastic beauty of the sky, or the elegance and grace of a snake... I see all of these and I realize that these are really the finer things, and they are everywhere, a gift from Mother Nature, free for all to enjoy and cherish. How can a laptop or sports car possibly compare to the spectacular form, color, scent, texture, and so on of these gifts of the natural world? (Those all link to great works by other artists that you should all check out, by the way.) For anyone who is interested, this was taken outdoors in natural lighting, and the effects were all created in-camera and not in Photoshop. The background was shaded and I used a -2 exposure to make it black, and I set the white balance to “cloudy” to bring out the lily’s warm glow. :) 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
