Capturing this mandrill in a moment of intense vocalization, I was struck by the raw power and primal energy radiating from this magnificent primate. The dramatic black and white treatment emphasizes the creature's fierce expression and the sculptural quality of its form emerging from the darkness.

I chose to work with dramatic low-key lighting to create this theatrical effect, where the mandrill becomes almost mythical against the deep black background. The monochrome processing strips away any distractions, focusing entirely on the animal's powerful presence and emotional intensity.

What fascinated me was witnessing this display of natural behavior - whether territorial calling, social communication, or simply expressing dominance. There's something both intimidating and mesmerizing about observing such raw, unfiltered animal instinct up close.

My intention was to create more than just a wildlife photograph, but rather a portrait that captures the essence of wildness itself. The dramatic lighting and composition transform this moment into something almost cinematic, revealing the dignity and power inherent in our closest evolutionary relatives.

Here is the book I made for my photography project. I don’t like it, because I cocked it up. The cover fabric wouldn’t stick, so the corners are frayed and have holes in, and then the inside of the book went bubbly because I glued it wrong. But oh well, it could be worse.

But aside from the hideous details, I think it actually looks okay.

 

Please excuse the rubbish photo, the lighting in my room is appalling. I will take better photos of it (and of more pages) when there is daylight.

“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.”

― Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays

La période d'élevage des jeunes est particulièrement longue (environ 3 mois). Ils perdront progressivement leur duvet de poussin avant de revêtir un plumage entièrement noir caractéristique des oiseaux juvéniles. 80% d'entre eux hélas ne passeront pas leur premier hiver...

Are leaders born with instinct or they are being elected?

 

Happy Monday!

This white-tailed deer had nothing to fear when I raised my long lens. But I'd still say that when she saw me, her instincts were correct; the archers have been in the field since Oct. 1, and the 16-day regular firearm deer hunting season begins in Michigan today.

 

Flickr friends, I am back after a break and will be catching up with your latest images soon.

I started with a wasp's nest (hence the obscure title). Then I zoomed in, mucked around with the processing, and sharpened it all up. Voilà!

Petit Chaton trouvé hier , seul, dans un tas de bois .Il était coincé depuis au moins 2 jours. Qui faire? Bien sûr, le sauver au plus vite. Il a 1 mois à peu près. Je suis vite allée chercher du lait maternisé et hop....biberons !!! Lilyl l'a immédiatement pris sous son aile et se l'ai approprié !! Que de douceur dans ses gestes!! Et ce Bébé en a besoin !! Je ne voulais pas le garder mais....comment m'en séparer maintenant? Je ne sais pas si c'est un garçon ou une fille, difficile à voir à cet âge . Mais, si c'est un mâle , je l’appellerai DIEGO .Si c'est une Fille, peut être LOUISE ...
