Wow. That’s beautiful.

jandroid9000.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is this your photo? If so, do you sell your work and where?

invisitech.bsky.social•16 days ago

It is indeed my photo. All the photos I post are part of my hobby/personal therapy to get my brain into its creative space.

I am not in the practice of selling them but have been known to provide rights to print photos in exchange for a donation to a conservation, or nature preserving organization.

jandroid9000.bsky.social•16 days ago

They're lovely. What conservation organizations do you prefer?

invisitech.bsky.social•16 days ago

There are a number but I must say my favourite is some of the specialized campaigns to protect endangered species (i.e. Toronto Zoo's efforts in Western Lowland Gorilla protection) or places where I took the egret photo (Audubon Corkscrew Wildlife Sanctuary). Every region has some very fine orgs.

I just peeked at the Audubon Corkscrew Wildlife Sanctuary and now I need to go there. I had no idea the everglades were so beautiful. When I think of FL I think of heat, lightening, humidity and bugs.

spectacular shot. reminds me of a miyazaki animation.

OMG that photo.
Exquisite!

What a superb shot!

I'm originally from Fla., myself, and sometimes forget how green and wild it was in places.

Really nice pic. Thank you for sharing this...

Lovely

Over 100 years ago my great grandfather, an ornithologist, spoke to Congress about the potential extinction of the egret, because its feathers were in such high demand for lady’s hats:

I am thankful your great grandfather had the courage to add his voice in speaking on behalf of conserving these creatures. The world is better off for it. Now, let us be encouraged to add our voices to today's challenges.

Gorgeous capture. Love the mood, the light. A bit ominous.

*do you, or would you ever sell usage rights for use to painters?

invisitech.bsky.social•16 days ago

I have had a number of artists use my photos as a muse. Since this is my personal therapy, and not a business, I will typically let them use a specific image with the caveat that I get to see a photo of the finished artwork. That is for the one-offs.

Should I go into business, that may change.

utahmuralartist.bsky.social•16 days ago

Thank you for the response. I always think this when I see an awesome photo. I get permission, then, don't paint it. I would def let you know, and show you the result of it if I do.
