Of all the strange things that male birds do to attract a mate, the bowerbird's ritual is the only one that could make it into the MoMA. They use two distinct types of "architecture" and have a keen eye for color as well. Image via The Wilderness Alternative Once mating season rolls around, these Oceanican birds start gathering sticks and using them to erect structures called bowers. The second is an "avenue" bower, where the sticks are arranged vertically to make a path down the middle, like something you'd see a bride and groom walk through at a wedding venue.

Say 'honey'! Cub gets behind the lens as photographer leaves props for family of bears to play with while visiting his backyard. Four families of inquisitive black bears captured on film over three yearsThe pictures were taken by Paul Cyr in his Presque Isle gardenHe placed food in strategic positions to entice them into human poses By Stuart Woledge Published: 14:52 GMT, 9 October 2013 | Updated: 17:21 GMT, 9 October 2013 When Baloo sung about the 'Bare Necessities' in the 1967 film The Jungle Book, few would have thought that he might have been referring to equipment such as a camera, car and piano. But a photographer from the US has snapped four families of black bear, who have been visiting his Presque Isle garden for the past three years, enjoying the modern trappings of everyday life.
And Paul Cyr's hilarious images demonstrate just how inquisitive the often feared creatures can be.

Jak pies ze słoniem - fotoreportaż o wyjątkowej przyjaźni. Dla wielu fotografów opowiadanie historii za pomocą zdjęć jest szczytowym osiągnięciem zawodowym, bez względu na to, czy ich fotografie ukazują się w prasie, w Internecie, czy telewizji. Niektóre fotoreportaże powstają w ciągu kliku minut, ale prace nad niektórymi mogą trwać nawet kilka lat. Czym się różni fotoreportaż od zbioru zdjęć dotyczących jednego tematu? Ten pierwszy ma określoną myśl przewodnią.
Nie dość, że poszczególne fotografie są powiązane tematycznie, to jeszcze służą prezentacji konkretnego punktu widzenia na dane zagadnienie. Jednym z kluczy do udanego fotoreportażu jest różnorodność ujęć: zdjęcie w planie ogólnym, zbliżenie, portret, zdjęcie akcji, sekwencja, zakończenie, czyli zdjęcie zamykające. Należy pamiętać, że stosowanie tej formuły nie skutkuje automatycznie powstaniem wartościowego, ciekawego fotoreportażu. Fot.

Photo by Samuel Orr , from the video I remember a time, many years ago, when I was a lad and at home with my sister. It was a warm early summer day, and I heard something odd outside. I opened my window, and my ears were met with a loud, persistent droning sound.
I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from…until I realized it was coming from everywhere . I ran to my sister’s room and said, “Listen!” And opened her window too. She didn’t believe me at first, and I didn’t blame her. That was 34 years ago now, two cycles past. WARNING: If you find insects icky, some of this may—haha! Orr has a Kickstarter project to fund a full-length documentary on these critters. Shortly after my sister and I awoke to the cicadas that long-ago day, my best friend Marc and I went out for a bike ride to the local lake. I don’t live on the East Coast anymore, so I’m missing this year’s awakening. Snub-Nosed Monkeys - Photo Gallery - National Geographic MagazinePhotogallery. This Lake In Tanzania Has A Deadly Secret. These Shocking Photos Show The Haunting Reality. Tanzania’s Lake Natron is one of the most serene lakes in all of Africa, but it’s also the source of some of the most eerie photographs ever captured.
You see, Lake Natron has a very deadly secret, it turns any animal it touches to stone. This incredibly rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, the alkalinity of Lake Natron varies between pH 9 and pH 10.5. Which is so caustic it burns the skin and eyes of animals that get too close to the water, leaving behind something straight out of a horror film, as can be seen in these incredible shots captured by photographer Nick Brandt for his book, Across the Ravaged Land. Calcified Fish Eagle Calcified Caped Dove Calcified Flamingo reflects in the water Calcified Bat Calcified Swallow Calcified Songbird Calcified Swallow II Calcified Bat II It should be noted the animals weren’t found in these haunting positions, here’s what Nick had to say: I wonder what would happen if a gargoyle dived into the lake?
