New for 2016

March 26, 2016 by admin 25 Comments

Leopard - Borswana

“The Transformation”
Leopard  –  Chobe National Park, Botswana, Africa
This leopard has become transformed into a mystical aberration as he searches for his next meal.

 

XNPJ22  AMERICAN BISON  (Bison bison) Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota

 “Showdown in the Rockies”
Bighorn Sheep  –  Estes Valley, Colorado
The resultant rifle-sounding crash when their heads meet can be heard a mile away.

These are my first releases for 2016. The leopard photograph was created from an image that I call “The Stalk.” The image depicting a couple of bighorn rams engaged in combat was created for the cover of my new book, Wildlife of the Rockies. You’ll be hearing more about it later.

Although not yet posted on my website, you can order these photographs directly from me. For available sizes, pricing and presentation options, click HERE. Simply send me your order via email. You can also post any comments below that you would like to share. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Weldon:

    Since you asked. Leopard. Something about it beyond reality. I see light coming from a little behind the leopard, but I do not see the shadow in the foliage. Thus, something about it that appears to me to be too artificial. I’m more a realist. Straight out of the camera with a few photoshop corrections.

    Rams: Great shot of two monarchs. Imagination sees and hears the impact. I liked the presentation of fading around edges – gives it a poster, card, image appearance and forces focus toward the center..

    Thanks for sharing and good travels to graduations and selling success at your shows.

    Richard

      I’m glad that you like my bighorn image and thank you for your wonderful comments. Also, I invite you to check out my article, “It’s Not to Late,” in the Summer 2016 issue of Nature Photographer magazine. It should be on the news stands sometime in June, 2016.

    Wow! They are both stunning, but I am drawn to “The Transformation”! A little artistic interpretation which in this case, enhances the majestic natural beauty and skill of the leopard.

    The leopard image is sensational! It almost looks as if glows from neon. I have never seen anything like it. Outstanding!

    The leopard picture is very exciting. It looks almost as if it was taken underwater. It has that glow some coral reef photos have. It is very striking.

    I think both images are terrific.

    The Leopard is dynamic and should do well in “Creative” competition, but I’m not so sure as a sales item. at least not in the west. Maybe in New York or Miami, or maybe in a zoo gift shop.

    The Big Horn rams would make an interesting cover for folded note stationary, and other items, such as coffee mugs as well as being sold as a framed image. Great image for mountain art shows, Present the framed image with the smaller articles for sale in front of it. Just a thought.

    Weldon, I’m always so impressed with your work. Wish we had more time to be together, I really enjoyed out trip to South Dakota to photograph the wild horses. Love the rams image, great action shot and the border really draws my attention to the center point where the collision will take place.
    Hope to see you sometime this summer either at a show or out in field.
    I’ll be looking for your new book.
    David

      Thanks, Pappy. Not sure why my father keeps referring to himself as Junior. Maybe it has something to do with age.

    Both images are ones that draw the viewer in. I love just “looking” at them and taking them in. Your title and story for each continues the intrigue that the image begins! Thanks for all that you do for our wildlife around the world!

    Nice photos. Just wondering, how you did the Leopard to “glow” like that?
