Walk on The Wild Side Part Deux
Went for a walk on The Wild Side
The great annual overhaul! NEW website updated and completed (for now…)
Creating stills and motion campaigns for agriculture businesses are dream jobs. The landscape, the morning and evening light, the machinery, the lines and symmetry, and most of all the hardworking people who feed our world. New website up, new AGRICULTURE portfolio!
Cameron Karsten's Imaginarium 
Oh man these are sooo gorgeous!! Love the cloud pics. ck
you took my breath away. for that, i thank you.
Love your use of pattern. This works great in B&W.
Cameron! WOW! You have some major talent going on there. These pictures are incredible!!! This is seriously some very high quality work, and I’ve been to plenty of museums and galleries here in NYC where your art would not only fit in, but would absolutely shine. Very, very nice.
Very, very nice B&W images. Great control over tonal range and your compositions really fit the technique.
gorgeous photographs
awesome…:) the best: 🙂
Absolutely wonderful
how does the beautiful this pictures does sketched it many of the flowers
it,s of strange kind.
Amazing shots, well done! 🙂
Very interesting images. Thanks for sharing. I liked all of them. Saying one is better than others is like telling the creator he/she is not good enough:)
very lovely flowers and great photography.
TechSmartLife
where is it? never seen like that even i’m in indonesia
Beautiful…
gorgeous picture from our country Indonesia, thanks a lot Cameron 🙂
I know among us, Indonesians, we normally shorten our country’s name to Indo when we talk to each other, but I hope people around the world will also know it from looking at your title only. I love these pictures. They’re unique, but some of the flowers don’t have their proper names written. It would be nice to see their names explained. Sorry if I’m being critical, but I hope not too much. Can’t help it. It’s the Indonesian side in me talking 😉
Overall, these are beautiful and lovely images. Great work.
Fab photos!! 🙂
Wow incredible stuff! All really awesome pictures.
Love most of them, esp. the hibiscus shot
beautiful..!!
Such a beautiful set of photographs.

The power of shape contrast.
Very well made and beautiful photos.
Thanks for sharing.
Photo incredible ….
disposable cameras what?
It’s just why wear black and white …. what color if not better huh?
Absolutely stunning pics!
Amazing photo. I’m impress!!
Really great pictures, something special!
Some of these are absolutely amazing. I particularly like the third-last, with the sun in it – really stunning. This collection has made my day. Well done, and congratulations on being Freshly Pressed.
I really like the pictures ~ Good Job !
beautiful lighting.
Stunning images and demonstrates the power of the monochromatic. I’ve become a Follower, and hope that you’ll check out my blog at Lens and Pens by Sally. I read about your goals in the About section. I’ve had a photograph selected for the National Geographic Magazine website and posted twice (Daily Dozen and Weekly Wrapper). Go to their site and see about the Your Shot competition. Hope that you enter, Sally
This is absolutely amazing!
Your photos are stunning and left me in a wondrous mood.
(I am a WordPress photoblogger as well)
Thank you for these.
Wonderful photos! . . . Raw, stark beauty! Congratulations on being “Freshly Pressed”!!

Stunning macro shots. I especially like the spiderweb and the lizard shot.
Really, really beautiful pics.
hey, help me up, pls. i’ve fallen off my seat, lols! the pics are truly magnificent. ^^
i like the pockets of clouds. i’ve been looking at them (in my country, in my city) for the last three afternoons, that time before the sun sets that is, the golden rays before the sun goes down.
all of the pics are great, btw. i love the play of light and darkness. it’s an FP that’s well-deserved! :):)
Excellent captures! The shot of the sun is money and sets well with your blogs color backdrop.
Excellent…or as Andy Griffith used to say on his TV show….”Extr’y good!!!!”
These are simply stunning! Really great work.
wonderful snaps!!
fantastic! I love black and white, but can never seem to capture them well myself. You did a fabulous job!
Beautiful work! I love the pattern in the spider web – very cool!
Cheers!
Wow!! Your photos are absolutely incredible!
Wow, these photos are absolutely inspiring. Beautiful Work
I love the composition and the drama your black and white stills exude. They’re truly amazing. Job well done! =)
Wow! You are doing EXACTLY what you are meant to be doing! Your pictures are absolutely breathtaking! You had a new fan from the first photo…I LOVE orchids! But the water lily…oh the water lily. It looks magical from the glow it appears to be exuding! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed. ~Marianne ^_~.
Wow!!! Thanks everyone for the love and gratitude you’re dishing my way. It’s flattering and keeps fueling the flames of passion for sharing the beauty of this planet and its people. Thank you!
Great photography! Thank you for sharing!
did you know that the smallest spiders have to make up for being so small by cramming their entire body cavity with “brains”…it’s true…I just found out…I may have read it or a spider may have told me…I can no longer tell…anyway…that’s why even the tiniest ones can spin the most incredible and intricate webs…I”m only writing this cause I’m pretty sure one of your pictures was of such a web…and I’m told you may be in trouble for trespassing but I’m not privy as to how spiders get even…maybe they just let that stuff go…knowing as they must that if it’s not in the web then it probably doesn’t exist…no, I’m told that’s not true…it’s about food…not philosophy….I think they use their extra brain material quite wisely but I’m secretly happy (not anymore) that they’re not bigger….
Wow! These photos are really really good! Congratulations!!
Thank you for revealing the intricracies of the things we take for granted in our wonderful world.
I’m a tough customer what concerns photography given the overflow of images by wannabe photographers on the web. But this is AWESOME!! Well done!
The gecko photo must have been hard.
So creative and beautiful. Loved this.

My Day 19 of Project 365 was very similar to this. http://www.norrisaroundaustralia.com – Thanks so much for sharing!
The web against the fern is amazing!
Hey- very nicely done! Thanks for sharing!
The moon I loved it. Would you mind if I borrowed it for my desktop for a few days? I’ll get rid of it afterwards, promise.
I forgot to see the rest of them were wonderful too. I love B and W shots
Hey! Your photos are beautiful, and the forms of the plants (especially the trumpet studies, for me) are stunning. Do you mind if I give a little critical feedback? I find your logo a bit distracting to my eye. I end up looking at it more than the image because it’s disproportionately white and sometimes a bit too big. Granted, logos are there to brand, but I don’t think to keep the viewer from taking in the image. And these are images we don’t want to miss!
awesome feedback. It is a new logo I’m messing with and I think I can shrink it and decrease the opacity so it’s there, but not there. Like you said, it’s all about the images and their presentation. Thank you!
….all i can say is WOW! Nice job, those are amazing pictures!!
Absolutely incredible photography! I loved this!
Stunning photographs. Congratulations!
incredible photograph and beautiful of flora & fauna.. love it
wow i love these photos!!!!!!!!!!
are so cool and amazing
i love black and white photos and these photos are beautiful.

Nothing is sexier or more artistic than black and white.

Great Job!
Beautiful work!
These are eerily beautiful.
very nice work!!!! its like your in another realm.
check out my black and white film post. not quite as good as yours but im getting there.
http://www.emaculent.wordpress.com
keep up the good work.
Many times it is very difficult to relate different subject through composition and contrast (B&W). Flowers, clouds, insects, sunset / sunrise… you did a great job with this series of doing just that.
Amazing Photos! Well Done!
Truly breathtaking. Well done *
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. As an Indonesian native – American naturalized, I appreciate you for sharing the beauty of my birthland. Sometimes we got trapped in the hustle and bustle of busy life we forget to see the flower blooming. Your work, Sir, has stopped me in a halt.
srihicks.

The b/w effects are wonderful. You manage to ‘say’ so much in b/w but can’t help but wonder what they would look like in color.
GREAT JOB!

Nice blog and very good article….

This layout is so stellar. How did you manage to make a blog thats as smart as it can be sleek? I mean, its like an Aston Martin smart and sexy at the exact same time. Ive got to say, the layout alone produced me come back to this weblog once more. But now that Ive read what youve got to say, Ive got to share it with the world!
Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch as I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!
What i do not understood is actually how you’re not really much more well-liked than you might be right now. You’re very intelligent. You realize thus considerably relating to this subject, produced me personally consider it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it is one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always maintain it up!
Great pics, you have a very unique perspective.
I am really grateful to the owner of this web page who has shared this wonderful
