Some non-artistic photographs for commercial purpose:
I find it mildly amusing that for all the hooplah of Microsoft commercials having been made by design companies using Apple, I'm post-processing my photographs on a Dell for a Mac-specific business: http://checkoutapp.com/profiles
From a recent trip to Brazil. The first is from an animal sanctuary just outside of São Paulo. The second is one of a number of photos of the wildlife just in the bushes around the pool at a bungalow hotel in Paraty (Pa-Rah-CHEE), a 500-year-old Portuguese gold port. I have a 70-30mm/f4.0-5.6 lens that's an indifferent telephoto but a pretty good macro, for the €70,- I paid for it.
Another photo of Noel. I got an antique modeling lamp from a friend who rescued it from the trash, and it makes a wonderful fill light when combined with natural light, as shown here.
"Do Not Feed Cats" I find this little area creepy for some reason. Wonder where it leads to. Probably something that will electrocute stupid trespassers.
Thanks! They were a little more orangey. By way of comparison, here's another photo of the same bugs on a different flower. This photo is not at all suggestive of anything:
