Secret Garden 4… EXERCISE IN BLACK AND WHITE by magdaindigo by magdaindigo

I love the textures and tones, taken in the studio, playing with light, flags and cutters to get the desired effect of chiaroscuro… I also am vey happy with the reflection.

The human body as a landscape/decor, back-ground…
This one with Nepenthes, popularly known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, they are a genus of carnivorous plants.
No model was harmed during the making of this image, LOL… part of an original set for an exhibition “SALON des DAMES”. Some call this Flowerotica?

Have a great day and thanx for your comments and time, M, (*_*)

This was captured Green Cay nature Preserve in Southern FL.

The preserve has a fantastic boardwalk that loops directly through the wetlands. I arrived just a touch before sunrise and started walking the loop. I was only about 1/3rd of a mile into it when I came across an area that was absolutely loaded with herons and egrets of all types. I ended up spending most of my time right in that spot, shooting away as opportunities presented themselves.

The biggest problem was the boardwalk itself – it was too high for shots like the one here (at least if you were standing). So I ended up shooting through the railing as I sat on the boardwalk. I got me much closer to the water, so as birds would land, I would have a better eye-level view of the scene.

At one point, this snowy egret came swooping in and I was lucky enough o catch him just as he was making contact with the water. When I double checked the images on the back of the camera, I knew I had one that I couldn’t wait to share. 🙂

Air Battle by sergeilukin by sergeilukin

Воздушный бой

The shot was taken on the ferry which takes travelers Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula (Texas). Seagulls always follow the ferry because people usually feed them throwing pieces of bread and some other treats into air.

Снимок был сделан на пароме, который курсирует между островом Галвестон и полуостровом Боливар (в Техасе). Морские чайки всегда сопровождают рейсы паромов, потому что люди обычно подкармливают их, кидая кусочки хлеба и другие лакомства в воздух.
