As I'm feeling a bit lazy listing all the different animals around my neck of the woods I will simply link here

But yeah we have wolves and bears around here quite frequently and not so far away. Closest wolf packs and bears for the matter have been just 1 kilometer from my house or less.
And moose's and deer's have been as close as up to 1 meter with frequent visits on the yard, they like them apples in the summer and whatever they can find here during the winter
And that is while 5 Russkaja gontjaja dogs + 1 Petit basset griffon vendéen dog are barking like crazy at them :? They aren't as shy as most people is led to believe

pretty dangerous to go for a stroll at night around your place if weather is good this weekend, might capture a few pics of kangaroos around here...

Not really actually, it's very rare that they do get as close as 1 kilometer and even rarer to hear of any humans that have been attacked by a wolf or bear.
But one should always be alert at night in the woods of course, a moose running towards a person is not something one want's to experience, they way quite a bit and thus have some force behind them and they have their antlers as well which can hurt if they hit you.

That would be awesome I would do the same if it hadn't been the annual moose hunting month this month, pretty much scared away from these parts now with all the shooting.
+ some idiot used dynamite or some other form of high explosives not far from my house, I felt the shock wave inside the house! so also a reason there aren't much wildlife around these parts at the time.

I saw this page and thought of this thread right away. I really like how the artist made palettes for each natural scene. Not sure if useful but maybe folks can get some natural color ideas.

I found a method of creating such palette previews of a shoot through quite easy means using Photoshop

So thanks for presenting that link to the palette shots which lead me to creating my own sets.
Will make it easier to grab the initial RGB colors for a certain type of effect by reducing the amount of color shades and baking them into squres. Might reduce the finetuning between photograph and CK/In-game rendering a bit.

Quite interesting stuff with the palettes
My sister made these shots this year and gave me the permission to upload them. I hope they aren't to large in file size:







Click the images for full size.

The file size is no problem for me at least.
And I'm glad you where given permission from your sister to upload her pics here
Kudos to you, and your sister of course for taking the shoots
