a lion
a lion sprawled out
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…
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.
It is too bad that our cities are taking up more and more of our wild lands…..
Taken along the Brisbane River
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.
The urban sprawl just keeps growing. HDR – 3 exposure +/- 2ev, then tone mapped Canon 300D, 18-55mm lens
Poof Vine spiralling out of infinity.
Here’s a scene from the not-so distant future. A typical family picnics in the last small patch of non-developed land, tracked by their bar codes and forced to watch commercials for frozen food. Suburban sprawl threatens on the horizon.
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.
Roots “sprawl” across the dark sandy shore before a dark distant sun. Color and forground to background movement make this a great piece!
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
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!
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.

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. / / / / / /
Today, (November 7 2009) Tux got outside. He’s good a sneeking between ones legs and dashing out side. The two pit bulls down the street in the culdesac attacked the poor little fella. His leg is chewed up. My neighbors helped me clean his wounds and bandage him up. He’s a sleep on the day bed in our extra bedroom. Please say a little prayer for him TUX makes himself comfortable right in the middle of my bed and leaves me no where to lie down…that rascal He was actually asleep, but when the flash kept going off on my little camera, he opened his eyes…this is the evil Cat eye look…meaning go away and leave me alone. Can’t you see I’m comfortable. Why do you want to bother me oh HUMAN one. lol
