Φωτογράφος άγριας φύσης

Μια φανταστική έκθεση φωτογραφίας που βρήκα τυχαία στη στοά Σπύρου-Μήλιου (στη Βουκουρεστίου).

I was stranded here....

Polar meltdown

‘I was relaxing after a long day filming just east of Barentsöya Island, in Svalbard. Our boat was far from the nearest pack-ice or land, but just before midnight, an iceberg came into view with a strange cargo: a young polar bear. It swam away from its thawing life-raft, but the picture shows clearly how climate change is affecting the Arctic.’ The polar bear is now officially endangered as the ice on which it hunts for food melts due to global warming. In 1996 the rate of loss was about 100 cubic kilometres per year. Ten years on, that loss has doubled. Pollution and the fact females only mate every two or three years add to the concerns.

Εγώ στην καφετιά:

Bear glare

‘I’d been so busy taking pictures of the salmon in the Ozernaya River in southern Kamchatka, east Russia, I didn’t notice the bear until it was a metre away. It was a terrible shock. I kept calm enough to take the picture but only later did I realise how serious the situation was.’ Brown bears roam mainly in far northern parts of America and Russia. But they used to live as far south as north Africa and Mexico. Excessive killing and habitat loss has made their existence more fragile. They tend to avoid humans, but can become aggressive if defending a cub or carcass.

Εδώ η γωνία λήψης είναι συγκλονιστική, μάλλον ο φωτογράφος ήταν μέσα στο νερό για να τη βγάλει.

[wings]

Απίστευτη, ε; Σαν να σε κοιτάει κατάματα.

Αυτή εδώ δεν είναι υπέροχη; Παιδιά, καταπληκτική δουλειά!

Night pride

‘I spent five long, humid nights photographing the animals coming to drink in Namibia’s Etosha National Park. As this pride approached, I could hear them breathing. The camera flash is reflected back from their eyes as they glance towards me across the water, quite unfazed.’ Lions hunt mostly at night, though they take advantage during hot periods to ambush animals drinking at waterholes during the day. They eat hoofed animals, but occasionally try elephant or rhino, and snack on the odd rodent, hare or bird. Like all big cats, they are affected by growing human populations and most live in protected areas.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II + Canon EF 400mm f2.8L II USM lens and extender EF 1.4x II; 1/250 sec at f5.6; ISO 400; flash; fresnel lens, tripod.

Γλυκιές γατούλες βαμπίρ στο σκοτάδι...

[wings]

Ναι, να σου στείλω 2-3 δώρο να φέγγουν το βράδυ. Γλιτώνεις και τα κεριά. :Ρ

[spiros]

Φοβάμαι, όσο κι αν θέλω να αδυνατίσω, μη με αφήσουν πετσί και κόκκαλο...

[wings]

Μόνο αυτό φοβάσαι;

[spiros]

Φοβάμαι όλα αυτά που θα γίνουν για μένα, χωρίς εμένα...
Φοβάμαι όλους αυτούς που το παίζουν φίλοι, για άλλους λόγους...
Φοβάμαι όλους αυτούς που τους δίνεις ό,τι έχεις, κι εκείνοι ανταποδίδουν, παίρνοντάς σου τα πάντα...
Φοβάμαι τους δήθεν, τους επιφανειακούς, τους υποκριτές και τους ψεύτες...

Κατά τα άλλα,

Δεν φοβάμαι τίποτε
Δεν ελπίζω τίποτε
Δεν είμαι ελεύθερος
