After feeling either / or Cleo has entered in to another realm; complete manic detachment everything is enriched, imbued. Although everyone else is quite concerned she has reached a euphoric state, people are reaching in to drag her back, she cant afford to hear them, she has found the 2% of her mind the others can’t…and to her its close to heaven.

“Polar Torch Bears use their torchlight noses to not only help them hunt, but to look for underwater treasure left by the sunken ships.” For one assignment, everyone had to write one object and one animal and our lecturer jumbled it all up, and I got “polar bear” and “torchlight”. We’re supposed to create a creature fused with those objects and also create some sort of story for them and illustrate them in a children’s storybook manner as an example. I was thinking of having it use its nose to hunt for seals, and then when I was talking to a friend on the phone, he had a sudden stroke of genius and suggested that they’d hunt for treasure too. :D A lot of ‘accidents’ happened while doing this, but they surely created very interesting effects for the water!

WILD & FREE / / Polar bear mum and cubs just going with the floe! / / The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut! (Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / /
Done by hand with wacom pen and pad. Sales of this work is donated to wildlife-appeal Cold here and this is what I seen in the snow yesterday… Have to travel tomorrow over the pass so I will not be on line for the day….By the time I get to where I am going I might look like this Bear LOL…It is snowing like crazy here.

/ Polar bears live only in the northern Arctic where they spend most of their time on ice floes. They are the largest land meat-eater in the world and the largest of the bear family. They are well suited to the cold Arctic ice and snow. This work has been featured in two groups: Natural parks in the world and Natural light and colors.

Welcome to the planet Nagoya!! / Now we are on the side where I used to live and work for about three and half years :-)) For those who is wondering what “TTI” stands for: “Toyota Technological Institute”. A little bit about how it was done. Using Nikon D80 with 18-200mm VR Nikkor lense I first took 23 NEF (RAW) files, then processed them with CaptureNX to make several different exposures. After that with the help of PTGui created a normal 360° panoramic image. With a simple trick I could use absolutely same control points and alignment parameters for all exposure sets of images, so final panoramas were almost 100% same. In order to avoid some tonal or contrast mismatches at the opposite edges of panorama as a result of HDR processing, I first created “planetoid” images with different exposures. And making the HDR and ToneMapping by Photomatix was a final step. / Final touch was done in CaptureNX as it has a unique tool called “control points” (it saves a lot of time), and also it allows saving the modified image in NEF format preserving all the workflow so that later you can open it again and modify some control points or other settings.
Standing guard over its lean summertime meal of one unfortunate seal, this polar bear awaits the coming of the ice, a time of plenty for the bear. This was a very lucky encounter to have with a polar bear. Spotting the bear from a zodiac watercraft, our group was able to watch the bear safely from a very close distance as it consumed what was left of its seal meal. Most of the polar bear I saw in the area around Baffin Island were very skittish, apparently because the bear are hunted by native people in this area. Button Islands (just south of Baffin Island), Nunavut, Canada. July 24, 2006. Canon 10D, Tamron 28-75mm lens, shutter 1/1000, f/9.5, exposure bias -0.50, focal length 75mm, ISO 200.

Photograph made in Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo – Rotterdam Polar bear – after the swim :) – I think this is one of my best – if not my best- zoo-animal shot so far … totally excited with it – LOL Threatened / “The polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species, with 5 of the 19 polar bear subpopulations in decline.6 For decades, unrestricted hunting raised international concern for the future of the species; populations have rebounded after controls and quotas began to take effect. For thousands of years, the polar bear has been a key figure in the material, spiritual, and cultural life of Arctic indigenous peoples, and the hunting of polar bears remains important in their cultures. / The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, “If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years.”[1] On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.” (source: Wikipedia – Polar Bear ) Photograph made with Pentax K10D camera and Tamron 70-300 Tele-macro1:2 lens / Post-edited and retouched in Lightroom 2 and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Features / This photograph was featured in ! # 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE !

There is a great challenge with drawing white animals. I’d been thinking about the polar bear for a while, then one of my reference photos spoke to me. I added the cub and the icy background. This will be the first in a series of mother/baby drawings. Polar bears are still listed as a “vulnerable” species. Melting polar ice makes it harder for the bears to find food.
