Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) photographed at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney. It was raining, and while most people took cover in the nearby cafe, I stayed put and took a lot of photos.
A little rain has never stopped me. I use a shower cap over the camera body, and the lens is weather-sealed, up to a point, obviously. I draw the line at downpours. But a soft, persistent drizzle? That’s when things get interesting. There’s something compelling about animals and birds enduring what we humans instinctively flee from.
A lone wolf (Canis lupus) enduring heavy snowfall in Northern Sweden. I think I found myself a theme, ha, ha! Here’s the photo of the musk ox in the same snowstorm.
Speaking of themes: the portrait of this rooster (Gallus gallus domesticus) is part of a new animal portraits project I’m working on. Well, animals and birds.
The black swan (Cygnus atratus) was the first in the series.
This is a new edit of an old photo taken sometime around 2018, when we were still living in Switzerland. These are the woods just behind our house, where I used to go for a daily walk with my camera. I still have hundreds of photos of those trees. Probably thousands, if I’m honest. I should probably do a project to do them justice.
I seldom edit old photos, but it happens the same way every time: I’m looking for something else entirely, I stumble over an old photo, and get an idea. And if I get an idea, there’s no ignoring it. I have to see it through.
Happy Easter!
📸 All photos were taken with Canon R5 Mark II & Canon RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM., except the dark woods, which was taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark III & Canon EF 50mm ƒ1.8 II.
