Conservation status: Near Threatened (Population decreasing)

Not a resting pose. Rather than waiting for a 'good pose', I am shooting like crazy not to lose my chance to get something anything. I rarely get a second chance with this bird. Heart rate up up up.

Sell My Culture Back to Me: A New York designer is making these pricey jeans that are to be worn with the right leg rolled up, to display a message about "Generating Altruism." Bits of the jeans are worn and ripped, for that rough-hewn look.

The look is of course taken from bike riders who roll up the right legs of our jeans to keep them out of chains.

I stopped my bicycle during a local bike tour to move this male box turtle off this country road. Of course, I had to take a photo first!

This place is such a great spot for photos! We'll be back I'm sure... Here's Rach having fun! Love the iPhone Pano option. Hello, Bordeaux.

My favourite film when I grew up was Wim Wenders "Wings Of Desire" about an angel in Berlin. When taking this shot, this guy i was trying to frame stopped in mid stride and just stood there, like he was thinking of something far from the moment he was in. It really reminded me of that film for some reason.

Poplar Bridge is my number one place to shoot as its one story after another unfolding on that walkway.

One of my very few handheld shots for the simple reason my camera, when mounted on my tripod, can not be pointed straight up.

The great egrets are the first of many species to arrive at this rookery. The males show up as early a February to get a head start building their nest. Before long, all the good sticks that they find on the ground have been taken. The males become desperate and resort to using totally inappropriate sized (and shaped) sticks.

I am re-posting this one because, somehow it got deleted from my flickr gallery yesterday.

I figured out that I was the one that un-intentionally deleted my own photograph(s) while trying to drag the photo-location to the map.

When they go about their performance, they rock back and forth and do deep knee bends after lifting their head up high. And if there is any wind, then the plume feathers get blown out of arrangement. So it is quite difficult to compose a decent close up frame where nothing is out of the frame.

Freak unexpected storms here cooled us down from 100 to 70's and gave me bright overcast light to work with. Looking forward now to staying in doors when the heat returns tomorrow.

Extremely rare for me to get a bird that is completely exposed down to the feet. When they go about their performance, they rock back and forth and do deep knee bends after lifting their head up high. And if there is any wind, then the plume feathers get blown out of arrangement. So it is quite difficult to compose a decent close up frame where nothing is out of the frame.

I don't usually assign anthropomorphic catch lines, but he looks like he is thinking, "I'm busy here, do you mind?". He left the scene immediately after this shot.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.

We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

“A concise poem about our work as stated elow

A place without being

a thought without thinking

creatively, two dimensions

suspended animation

possibly a perfect imitation

of what was then to see.

A frozen memory in synthetic colour

or black and white instead,

fantasy dreams in magazines

become imbedded inside my head.

Artistic views

surrealistic hues,

a photographer’s instinctive eye:

for he does as he pleases

up to that point he releases,

then develops a visual high.

This bird just returned from a confrontation with a crow.

The background is somewhat busy, but it gives an environmental feel I suppose.

Tyrannus forficatus

The name makes more sense when these birds are in the air.

I wish I could get a closer flight image than this.

Almost recycle bin worthy.

I've really been enjoying the panorama feature on the iPhone 5 this holiday... I've got lots of them, but wanted to knock out some noise in LR before upload.

This is from yesterday morning...

London Lives Series

Hipstamatic & Snapseed.

I don't like posting a shot outside of a series usually but this one mobile image from my time in Washington seemed appropriate today.

I like America, have loved every time I have visited the different parts of the country as a tourist and follow a number of photographers from there on this site, whose work I adore. So, I just wanted to post this to say I hope this really is it and that the shutdown is over because as a country you deserve better than what has been happening over the past weeks.

Please let me know if I have overstepped the mark here.

While on a bit of one, I just wanted to thank everyone for their support of my work and especially for the image I posted yesterday, helping it make the Explore Top 10. I don't find the time to reply to comments on my work and prefer to use that time to comment on contacts images. I hope you can understand that.

Hipstamatic only

Really like the light though the trees and the morning mist burning off.

Today marks the start of my 30th birthday weekend (actual birthday is on Monday). Lots planned, including a trip to the Lake District and cocktails tonight with my nearest and dearest. I'm very excited!

Hope you're all having an awesome Friday!

Snowy egret (breeding plumage)

Egretta thula

UT Southwestern Medical Center Rookery

These two birds were busy with their own tasks and were indifferent to each other.

The egret was not just standing there like that. It opened its wings and immediately jumped into the air. I just happened to fire off a shot at that point in time by pure luck. (as happens with bird photography). I didn't even have time to focus, the focus was already where it was because I had made several woodpecker shots before the egret unexpectedly showed up.
