During our time in Zimbabwe, we scheduled some time to visit a lion outreach camp called “Lion Encounter”. Their mission isn’t to just raise lions from birth and give them to zoos, but to introduce them back to the wild where they belong. Sara and I were allowed to take an hour walk with a few 18 month old lions. What we found especially funny was that lions usually sleep about 18 hours per day, much like our cat at home. In fact, when we first encountered the lions they were doing just that – sleeping. Things picked up a bit as they awoke from their slumber and we were able to get some great photos and make great memories.
This is the final installment from Lion Encounter with a simply processed photo and a more worked up version. I know this may seem hypocritical that not too long ago I ranted with hundreds of words describing that it’s good to focus on one’s photography roots, but sometimes I think some photos need that extra push off the cliff to be printed large and worthy to be hung over a fireplace. Maybe I should call it, “Shane Gorski – Classic.” HA! This lioness was photographed as our guides were describing various lion behaviors and discussing the various stages to reintroduce a lion to the wild. To me, this lion has no hope. She loved lying on this dead tree near the stream a little too much. As we continued on our walk with the lions, one of our guides had to poke this lioness in the butt to get her movin’. He was met with a cold stare, but with a little verbal persuasion the lioness moved on her way.

Still more experimentation with this new feedback ripple code. Yet more improvements. Instead of using an image to show a cross hair of sound input data rippling from the center out, instead i am rendering a ripple from the corner and rendering that image 4 times per face. It allows me to have a 300x300 element ripple array instead of the previous 150x150.
More to come and I will try to link to a quicktime. (Did you know someone wrote a library to export directly out of Processing into a mov file? Did ya? Hmmm??)

With the main calendar structure complete a hand-perforated cover was laminated on top that aligned with the pre-cut windows in the foamcore below.

My Mother-in-Law's garden never looked the same after she passed away.
Lucy is really into playing on her play mat and she looks so pleased with herself. Then after a while she just lays there and watches the tree out of the window!
I have decided to have a day off trying to photograph the pair of them together!
...so I finally caved in a took some shots in the RAW mode (well I took them JPG + RAW). I've long been conflicted about processing images too much, however, what finally convinced me is that especially on night shots I can modify things in 2 seconds - things that I'd have to spend minutes to experiment with on the camera. For instance, (as was pointed out in a recent comment) you can slide the WB to get one you like. This is the same as taking lots of pics - typically I will attempt the same shot in several WB modes. Similarly you can switch to Landscape mode or add saturation. These are all things I do on the camera anyway. In addition, if I play with these things in RAW (using a Canon program that came with the Rebel) I will learn more about when to use each - and this will help me achieve my main goal which still remains: taking the best shot right off the camera.
Messing with WB and saturation in RAW does not seem like cheating so I will probably take all crucial shots (and most night shots) in RAW from now on.
In some instance you are under pressure to hurry up. Often other people get impatient. Often you run out of time. Often stuff moves or nice light ends. Often you get eaten up by mosquitos (like today when I took this). Therefore often I don't have time to try 3 WBs and 2 saturation setting for each shot. RAW helps get more and better pictures faster.
In this I only changed the WB slightly and changed it to Landscape mode.
The sun rose on fields
snow blown and misted
ghostly swirls and dervishes.
No fog this——
for fog simply lies.
No——this was living
as it arched and twisted,
fingering out to the road
and reaching for me
like the shade of a beloved friend.
There was white inside,
trying to seep out of pores,
I felt it strain
trying to mesh and meld
with this sentient wraith
fingers touching
joining
and suddenly
I am the morning mist
dancing in the crystal air.
