Feeding Wild Animals

She's trying to feed some sort of wild animal.

**While surveying out in Denali Park, miles from the nearest road, I found a 1GB memory card that still works. It seems to have wintered somewhere around the Stampede Trail along the Teklanika River.
If you have any idea who any of these people in these photos are, please let me know.
I've been trying to track down the owner.

Here is a link to the story of how I found the card, and a link to the conclusion of how I found the memory card's owner.

We were not allowed to get very close to this baby giraffe. He was about 2 weeks old.


Lookout on Lemur Island, San Diego Wild Animal Park

Image by tychay
We got off the Wgasa Bush Line in a different place than I expected so we trekked back to our starting point, but not without taking in some sights along the way. An almost unnoticed area in the Mombasa Island Market is Lemur Island. The nice thing about putting the lemurs here is that there is no need for a high wall or fence.

The sign near it reads:
Tell Tails
Don’t let their masked faces and striped tails fool you. These ring-tailed lemurs are primates (like monkeys, apes, and us), not a relative of raccoons. Their striking black and white ringed tails are a visual signal to other lemurs. But they’re also used to send a scented message. A male lemur saturates his tail with musk from special glands on his forearms. Then he sticks his tail straight up and shakes it rapidly so that the scent wafts toward his rival. These “stink battles” help to determine rank within the lemur group and mark territorial boundaries.

Hmm, sounds no different than a frat house. “Quick, pull the finger!”

The VR really saved the day here, and nik’s sunlight filter did the rest. Cropped to change the composition a little bit.

African Wild Dog at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre

A few nice endangered species animals images I found:


African Wild Dog at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre

Image by féileacán
Lycaon pictus is a large canid found only in Africa, especially in savannas and other lightly wooded areas. It is variously called the African wild dog, African hunting dog, Cape hunting dog, painted dog, painted wolf, painted hunting dog, spotted dog, or ornate wolf.

The scientific name "Lycaon pictus" is derived from the Greek for "wolf" and the Latin for "painted". It is the only canid species to lack dewclaws on the forelimbs.

Adults typically weigh 18–34 kilograms (40–75 lb).[2] A tall, lean animal, it stands about 75 centimetres (30 in) at the shoulder, with a head and body length averaging about 100 centimetres (39 in) long with a tail of 30 to 45 centimetres (12 to 18 in). Animals in southern Africa are generally larger than those in eastern or western Africa.

Brooke was not to happy about this photo. The goat was a few feet away with a fence between them yet she was very afraid of getting eaten...

An Icelandic Horse in the Wild

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks! I consider myself very lucky to have a network of great photographers around the world. I met most of them through Flickr, where we are constantly commenting and giving feedback on one another's photos. This has enabled me to meet up with great photographers wherever I travel, and they are great people to hang out with because they already know the prettiest places around where they live!

One of the people I was lucky to shoot with was Rebekka in Iceland. We met at a coffee shop in Reykjavik and talked about where to go shoot. We jumped in her car and drove a while until we reached a fjord. Nearby were these horses running around like wild beasts. They have no fear of humans, and we were able to go right up to them. Their hair is very long, and I'm sure it evolved from the hyper-cold whipping winds around the edges of the sea.

I don't shoot a lot of animals, because I find it hard to improve upon what other great animal photographers have done in the past. However, here is a tip for shooting animals. It's kind of a lame trick, but it always works. Use a wide-angle lens and get in close. It always makes the head look really big and cute. Humans love big-headed animals and it always makes them smile. Why this is, I have no idea... Note this trick also kinda works with babies.

Seriously, thanks to Rebekka for a great day tooling around the fjords of Iceland.

Oh, and yes.... I have pictures of Rebekka coming up at some point wearing her green-thing ... nothing too salacious for public consumption, I assure you... but in more of a "photographer in her milieu" milieu.

The Tree of Life
photos of animals
Image by Brett Kiger
Today it's just a simple shot of the Tree of Life. This is probably my favorite view of the tree, and apparently Disney thought enough of it to make it a (now defunct) Kodak Photo Spot.

I always find it a bit amusing, however, when sometimes I line up to take a shot, and the next thing I know there is someone looking over my shoulder with a P&S, iPhone, etc. to get the same shot. That happened a couple times while I was here, and seems to happen way more with the 5D3/7D (and, I was using a 70-200mm lens) than my little E-M5. It guess people still equate a big camera with someone that knows what they are doing. Occasionally it can result in some friendly banter, which, at times, can be fun to learn a few tidbits from fellow guests.

I also find it amusing that this is such a beautiful site, yet all the while knowing that the tree was constructed from an offshore oil-drilling rig!

I had another chance to do a photoshoot in my shiny animal print zentai over the weekend to test out the capabilities of my new hackintosh in terms of photo editing.

The shoot turned out great as usual…..now to get used to Mac OS X……
