Klaus Emmaneel is a sculptor who lives and works in Victoria, B.C. In addition to his artistic persuits, he is an accomplished musician and avid lover of nature. He brings to his work the passionate love of the outdoors he discovered in his boyhood when he developed a keen knowledge of birds. The Emmaneel Collection forms the body of the work which consists of ceramical reproductions ( cast stone ) of original wax carvings that are individually hand -cast, air-brushed and antiqued in various faux-finishes.
These
bird photos have been assembled from a large collection of digital
images taken over a period of eight years in the various locales outlined.
The equipment involved is the Leica APO Televid with Leica digital
camera and adapter. This technique is referred to as Digiscoping and
affords the viewer the advantage of taking photos from a considerable
distance, thereby limiting the amount of disturbance to the subject.
This year, 2011, I began using the Canon 40D with the 100 - 400 IS
zoom lens.
