I have had so few opportunities to photograph a Nuthatch this Winter, so I was pleased to get a shot of this beauty today in our local wood!
There was a brief window of opportunity when the clouds cleared and the sunshine illuminated the Elan Valley. I walked around taking as many pictures as I could before the clouds came back.
Windows of Opportunity is a macro photograph of a Ficus leaf. This version blended the black and white version with the original, which was photographed on a light box.. A filter was added at 15 percent opacity to warm the leaf up a little bit. I will be off for two weeks starting tomorrow! Have a creative fortnight!
I came upon a serendipity moment the other morning as I noticed a perfect little window in the trees that let in the light & gave me a peak at the world beyond. This little window was created by Mother Nature and luckily I had my camera handy so that I could capture the magic while it lasted. I call this a window of opportunity.
Second time that I have the opportunity to see this nice red fox.
I could do one photo not far form her ( it is a female ) and then few from far away when she was hunting.
So this photo is a full cropped view (2k over 8k) to make a kind of portrait of this nice young fox.
I used the photo done as she was near to me +/-20m to make this crop.
I'll post a larger view of this photo later.

This gorgeous giant swallowtail was hanging out on the firebush soaking up some rays when I spotted him through the window. I took a couple of snaps and went out to see if I could get a shot from outside but alas he was already gone.
I hope your day is filled with incredible opportunities and you are able to take full advantage of them. Happy snapping.

Preparation met opportunity today. I had cut out these leaves hoping for a beautiful sky, and lucky for me, it all came together. Today is all about carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. Be well and be safe.
PS - dried leaves don't cut as well as soft, pliable leaves.
This is inside my husband Masonic Lodge. We took our Mexican friend there in September for a visit as he is also a Mason. I love Mid Century Mod and the light was so nice!

Can you imagine my luck, a man in a bright yellow shirt cleaning a boat with his reflection in the water and on the boat, now that was an opportunity I could not miss!

TURN A DIFFICULTY INTO A NEW OPPORTUNITY
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.

THANK YOU for your visit and friendship. Please leave a comment, and I will try to do the same for your latest posting.
Keep safe and well, God bless

For many photographers, Corona is the opportunity to have fewer people in the picture without trickery. Shopping Mall in Bremerhaven.

This is a traditional Yorkshire fishing vessel called a "Coble" that once fished out of Scarborough..It now lies in a semi-derelict state at South Ferriby on the banks of the River Humber,
In Parkes, NSW, for the David Malin Awards, I was told the normal floodlighting on The Dish radio telescope would be turned off to allow a timelapse to be made for the CSIRO. I hadn't planned to shoot The Dish as many others already have, but without the excess lighting, and given I didn't find a better site I thought I should try. Sigma lens, processed in Lightroom.

The pale chanting goshawk is an opportunistic raptor and eats a wide variety of prey including small mammals, lizards, birds, large insects and carrion. It has also been recorded predating upon Tent tortoise and Leopard tortoise hatchlings which are swallowed whole while the shell is still soft. There is some evidence of social hunting in breeding groups but solitary hunting is the norm. Pale chanting goshawks commonly associate with foraging Honey badgers and feed on organisms that are flushed by the Honey badger's feeding activity. This association increases the hunting opportunities and prey capture success of the pale chanting goshawk while the honey badger does not suffer any loss of foraging efficiency. (Wikipedia)
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
Our guides, from Guilin Photography Tours, setup an opportunity to go into some peoples homes on our first day.
It's one thing to be walking around an ancient village but something else entirely to be invited into a home and photograph people within their surroundings.
This lady, to me, was absolutely beautiful both in her appearance and in spirit. So was so welcoming when we came in and was so willing to be a subject for our cameras.
This is one of my favourite moments from the trip and one of my favourite shots from the couple of weeks that I was in China.

Clear sky above Durham this afternoon. Headed down to the riverside to catch the sun in the best position for the autumn colours. Took the opportunity to get down to Durham ahead of the lockdown tomorrow.
A rare opportunity to ask questions from the team. They look eager to help, don`t they?

When I was sent to Battle Creek to work nights for a couple days a few years ago when they were cutting over CP Baron, I wanted to visit the small farm town of Bellevue about 10 miles east of the yard. The perfect opportunity presented itself in the form of a pair of barns on A451. After snaking my way through the god-awful twisting roads in that area, it wasn't long before the pair came out of the dark and passed the classic mill in the heart of town that seems to be the victim of an eccentric painter.
(Still on day 1 of our vacation...stop at Taupo...we spend a few hours in and around Taupo and quickly visited a few places ... will post photos soon).
The lakeside town of Taupo provides a base for visitors who love to fish for trout, ski Mount Ruapehu and explore the local geothermal phenomena. Popular Taupo experiences include Huka Falls, geothermal walks, a prawn farm, lake cruises, New Zealand's first public cable wakeboarding park and guided kayak expeditions to see the rock carvings at Mine Bay.
Taupo is a fantastic region for year-round mountain biking, with the recent completion of the Great Lake Trail. Along with cycling, there's excellent hiking and golf opportunities.
My appreciation and thanks to all of you for your comments awards and faves !!!!
Opportunities are rare sometimes. Bummer when you miss them but you have to move on. Have a wonderful Friday and a terrific weekend.

I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆

A great opportunity to shoot moon when its full and traveling between the overcast. A bit difficult to set the exposure as the light changes every other second. Too much and you will loose details and too little then you won't get the clouds. Also since the moon is constantly on the move, you cannot do bracketing and later merge as you will get a slight motion and won't get a perfect merge. And I hate photoshopping anything that ain't there on the photograph. So the best option is to take multiple shots and hope one does come out with all details you would want in the shot!
Thanks for your favorites and comments, I highly appreciate them!
