Another from the couple of hours I was shooting at Bunkyou Civic Centre the other evening.This one was shot a little after the sun had gone down showing the amazing Shinkousha [Cocoon] building in Shinjuku on the right with the twin towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building, Tocho, to the left. Mount Fuji had been hidden in cloud for most of the time me and mhy buddy Jonathan were shooting. But, for just ten minutes or so, it poked its head out the clouds. Snap! Gotcha. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED / 5-frame bracketed burst / HDR Merged in Photomatix 2.5.4
When the boughs of a tree emerge in every every possible direction calling as I walk through nature’s gardens, I realize nothing is impossible, for each branch brings a new adventure, new perspectives, new light on each day! Photograph taken in Mount Meenahga, NY. /
Can’t see the trees / Can’t see the sun / Can’t hear the breeze / Nature’s undone / / Concrete towers / No short supply / They all devour / Both sun and sky / / People all stacked / In towers floors / And each floor packed / To towers core / / There is no space / Crowds smother me / There is no place / That feels free / / Sounds that are brought / From city’s toys / Can’t hear own thought / Through endless noise / / This urban sprawl / No life for me / Rural my call / Amongst the trees / / This fractal artwork was inspired by two different thoughts, both thoughts came simultaneously from a scene on the TV series ‘CSI-New York’. The scene was one taken from a helicopter with a wide angle lens looking straight down the sides of the skyscrapers towards the street as they flew along. / / The first thought was how the scene had a very Escher type effect to it that I enjoyed. The second thought was of how people lived in New York… literally on top of one another. I am not the big city type, and would be very claustrophobic living in an environment such as this. I much prefer having wildlife and nature surrounding my home out here in the boonies. / / I wanted to try and capture both the perspective and the feeling of people being crowded on top of one another. This is what I tried to portray in this artwork. If Escher designed condominiums, this is what they would look like! LOL / / The original artwork is 6000×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Apophysis. The gradient was created in ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /
The urban sprawl just keeps growing. HDR – 3 exposure +/- 2ev, then tone mapped Canon 300D, 18-55mm lens
Roots “sprawl” across the dark sandy shore before a dark distant sun. Color and forground to background movement make this a great piece!
This red squirrel or fox squirrel was sprawled out on a branch on a lazy Sunday afternoon just chillin’ and watching the passersby. He wasn’t in the least bit skittish at my approach.
I’m always amazed at the gracefulness and beauty of the live oaks at Avery Island, Louisiana. The huge sprawling limbs remind me of arms spread out in welcome and inviting one to enter into the mystery and majesty of the forest.
Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 17mm, F11, shutter speed 20 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop Shot taken on my way down from Darwen Tower last week looking towards Blackburn. The photograph has grown on me since I took it last week, I am still not sure though!
It is too bad that our cities are taking up more and more of our wild lands…..
An abstract piece designed to reflect a growing city and it’s kudzu-like effect on its surroundings. The title is taken from a conversation my wife and i had at “The Buffalo Room” restaurant during our trip to Buffalo, NY. We said we were from out of town and all she said about it was “well…it’s typical 50’s urban sprawl”. Not the best story, but that’s where the title comes from.

When I looked at this photo of my husband standing under this massive oak with gargantuan root exposure, I thought of the kids’ book series “Where’s Waldo” which features the character Waldo hiding somewhere on each page. Tommy’s barely visible, dwarfed by the old giant and camouflaged in the foliage. This was taken in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, along the Bayou Teche.

A 23 hour render using Vue 6 Infinite – almost 3 million actual Polygon count – not instances – both a volumetric and Global Radiosity atmosphere were used for this – later city lights added (window lights) in Photoshop CS3. Total time – approximately 30 hours…
