An eagle scavenges on an elk carcass on the National Elk Refuge. Though it's difficult to see in the photo, the eagle is unique because it's missing its right leg.
Bald eagles can frequently be seen on the refuge in the winter. Though they are skilled hunters, they will also eat carrion if the oppurtunity presents itself.

We had a very pleasant yumcha at the old Oriental Tea House in South Yarra, back when it was tucked in a small shop in a lane perpendicular to Chapel Street, so when I heard that the Chadstone store was open, I decided to give it a try.
Perhaps my expectations were too high. Or perhaps, it was just passing off cheap Chinese dimsum to Aussies who didn't know better, Asian and Caucasian alike. The clientele on the opening weekend was quite evenly split between Asians and Caucasians, lured in by the breezy indoor-outdoor dining areas, bright reds and contrasting black decor, and a distinctly Asian but modern decor.
The selection of teas are quite impressive. Tea is served in glass teapots to be shared. You can also order tea individually in mugs made of a 紫砂 deep purple porcelain, the traditional material for 紫砂壶 Chinese teapots.
Food-wise, it's a disappointment. That's not to say it is not good, but the asking price of a 特点 "deluxe" dimsum being AUD8.90 you'd expect something special. Instead, what we get is a floury and chewy filling in the 带子烧买 scallop siumai dumpling. A distinct indicator of it being undercooked. Most other yumcha places serve "deluxe" dimsum at half that price.
Before we entered, Julia exclaimed that a 烧卖 siumai pork dumpling or 虾饺 hargao prawn dumpling, a "regular" dimsum, was AUD5.90. That was almost grounds for us turning tail and heading to a nice cafe. But it is better this way, rather than be tempted every time we walked past.
Being an equal oppurtunity employer meant that we had waiters and waitresses of all races, althought predominantly Asian. Being used to dimsum names in Cantonese, hearing the mangled English translations was a bit though. Guava-flower fried prawn wonton 石榴花云吞 is a mouthful in anyone's language. Just call a wonton a wonton.
Still, Oriental Tea House seems to draw crowds at both its South Yarra and city stores, which points to a shrewd business owner understanding that the ambience and price-point is "acceptable" for the locations it is in.

Martin Ortiz, a native of Corpus Christi, Texas, aims in with his competition rifle during a practice relay at the 2013 Marine Corps Trials at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., March 3, 2013. Ortiz said he's enjoyed meeting new people, trying new things and getting the oppurtunity to compete at the trials this year. The Trials is an opportunity for wounded Marines, veterans and allies to compete in wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, track and field, swimming, archery and shooting. The top 50 athletes will go on to compete against wounded warriors from the other branches of military service at the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., in May.

Seriously, everywhere I turned was another image oppurtunity. This happened to be just in time as I the light had just turned green right when I saw how small the car was. Texas on the other hand would probably have a truck twice the size of the guy in front. I thought it was pretty cool to see an actual mini this size or in this case a Daihatsu Copan.
Also I tend to post photos from the other side of the bridge on my Facebook (link above) in which I don't believe they don't fit on my Flickr. If you wish to check those out follow me on there too!
I got on this bus in Leyburn to change for the Wakefield 870 at Otley.
It was a marvelous 2 and 1/2 hour journey through the northern and southern part of the Dales. There were plenty of sights that were new to me via bus. There was a very kind gentleman who is a regular on the service who pointed out all the different landmarks.
I took the oppurtunity to take a photo 1420 whilst it was sat waiting time in Pately Bridge.

The extreme weather conditionsthese past few weeks in Northern Ireland leads to many extremely good photo oppurtunities. This one lasted only a few seconds. The one I took 10 secs before & 10 secs after this one, did not show the colours that can be seen here.

Shot with Kat at the House of Nightmares Group shoot on 11/29/08. It was a blast doing this set in a dark, cold, and dirty basement. If anyone ever has the oppurtunity to work with Kat.... Do NOT pass up the oppurtunity!
Shot with a Nikon D300, 17 - 200 MM VR lens and a SB800 flash. I used 2 Britek 1500 watt strobes (1 behind an umbrella diffuser and the other as a main with umbrella) to balance out some light in this dark warehouse basement.

Meggy is my 2nd cat for 4 months now and since she's hard to photograph because of her dark fur, I have to take every oppurtunity.
Here, she's enjoying her little mouse toy on my desk. When I throw the toy away, she runs after it and brings it back to me to throw it away once again.

Taken this afternoon (Tuesday 16th November) for the Project 365 Group/5th Anniversary of my joining Flickr.
Not a very good attempt but I may add this to the Sunday Night Phlow as this week's theme is Movies and if no other "relevant oppurtunities" crops up before then.

This is my 2nd timelapse in my flickr stream. Earlier last year , when I had gone to Mt Everest base camp, I was determined to take a lot of timelapses of the scapes of everest. I bought an intervalometer and embarked on the 18 day trek to the highest mountain in the world. Because of cloudy weather on numerous occasions and being exhausted due to the trek, I did not get too many oppurtunities to click many sequences. I did click whenever I got the chance though. Here is a little compilation of the shots.
I know that there are quite a few imperfections in the timelapse. Please point them out and suggest improvements!
This timelapse took some time because Windows movie maker insisted that it crashes every 30 seconds of creating this timelapse at 30fps. I am not kidding . I had to save my work every 25 seconds and then WMM would crash and I had to restart the application and make changes. It still continues to crash as I type this ...... Error 0xC9540034 :-)

140525-GW695-009 NEW YORK -- Girl Scout Hearts of the Hudson visited service members and dropped off cookies during Fleet Week New York. Over 100 crates of cookies were donated to participating units in the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. Fleet Week New York, now in its 26th year, is the cities time-honored celebration of the sea services. The week long celebration is an unparrelleled oppurtunity for the citizens of New York and the surrounding Tri-State area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen as well as witness firsthand the latest capabilities of today's maritime forces.

The Canon 5D MK II and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens have become the go to team. One of the challenges I've found early on is what do you take a photo of? With a busy schedule there isn't always time to go to what you want to take a photo of or to plan and set it up.
See all #365dayphotochallenge pictures at bit.ly/1xkBivY
The macro lens opens up a whole new world of possibilities and all under your nose. Taking a second look at the garbage before throwing it out offers some new oppurtunities.

We went camping last month, you know what that means..... Photoshoot oppurtunity. My better half doesn't much care for taking photos so I had about 5 minutes before he would begin to lose his patience. I'm happy with it :) I love being able to take my own portraits, I can shoot it when I want, how I want,and where I want.
Nice decor in the Food Republic food court of Vivo City. I'd seen it in zelciia's Food Republic Food Court photos, so of course it was worth a visit.
I loved how they made use of traditional building materials, including dark stained wood, roof tiles, lanterns, all in the traditional dark browns and bright reds.
Plus, it gave up more oppurtunities to continue our hawker food safari!

FIRST TIME TO THIS LIGHTHOUSE!!! It is like the pictures say very picturesque...So I was in Maine and Back Home in Southwestern Connecticut all in the same day...Went up for sunrise left at 1am and got back by 2:30pm for work...YES I'M NUTS...Photography makes you do INSANE things just to get the shot...My friend went up for the whole day and couldn't pass up the oppurtunity to see this lighthouse for once...The sunrise was one of the best I've seen and the Snow Squall that followed was a Plus...Taken Yesterday Morning around 7am
While turtle hunting she decided to walk a bit further in the woods. I tried telling her doesn't look good honey. She didn't take my advice and continued down in the brush. Well of course there was some loud rustling and she came running out there so fast, she ran right out of her flip flops. Later saying there was a foul odor. I remember stories from my dad of the Skunk Ape. My dad has always told stories about the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot since I was a girl. My dad never tells a lie. He's a true Florida born native he hunted barefoot with a slingshot, gun or older he jokes by cars. I am always on the look out for the elusive Bigfoot here in Florida or my summer trips to the mountains of Tennessee. So when chance gives me the oppurtunity to tell my family about the Skunk Ape I am carrying on the long standing tradition in my family of storytelling.
In Florida we have something called The Skunk Ape they are in the same family as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman, Boggy Creek Monster, Wild Man, Almas, Batutut, Fear liath, Hibagon, MonoGrande, Orang Mawas, Yeren, Yowie, Yeti and the Sassenach. The Skunk Ape is named for its appearance & strong stench. Some people have compared the foul stench to a skunk rolling around in a dumpster.
The sun has dipped below the horizon leaving an illumination in the sky. Not completely dark or lit the twilight hour is here. An unbearable heat with a slight breeze attracts the biggest mosquitoes. Birds softening their calls to a whisper fetching babies home for the night. Alligators entering the swampy creek water hoping for last minute parched animals at the edge. This is when the Skunk Ape wakes to hunt. A trail of Lima beans or string of apples can attract one, but it can be difficult. Reports have been documented since the 1970’s and film captures are extremely rare. One lady who wished to remain anonymous mailed the pictures into a local Post Office.
If you are luck enough to encounter the Florida Skunk Ape do not run. Stand still and note your surroundings, time of day, weather and please remember to take pictures.

Living in the now has great value, because if we focus too much on the past or future we miss the party, even though we’re physically there.
At the same time, exclusive focus on the present doesn’t completely serve us because we miss valuable lessons from the past that contribute to the quality of our present moment experience, and we also loose sight of how our present affects our future, our future “now.”
Giving us a broader perspective, one beyond this lifetime, yoga wisdom stretches our ability to see and experience by revealing the deeper connection between our past, present and future.
Enhancing rathing than taking away from our experience of the moment, such information of how and why we got our present body, our options in it, and how they lead to future bodies, particularly reveals its unparalled value when the accompanying lifestyle is practiced.
In this way, empowered with a truely broad vision, we can make the most of every oppurtunity, every moment, every now.
“In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of Bhakti yoga enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time.”
— Bhagavad Gita As It Is 4.38
Took this photo while leaving Seattle/Bellevue last week. It was a very long week last week which extended, unfortunately, into the weekend. It is worth it though, I do love what I do, so I try not to complain too much. Its tiring at times but I always try my best to keep myself going.
I've always like pictures with certain repeating patterns such as a hallway or other patterns. Hallways always remind of those scenes in scary movies where the lights start to off one by one until they shut off around the main character and something jumps out at them while the lights are all off. That didn't happen on the day I took this photo, but the thought crossed my mind.
This is also from one of my preferred hotels in Bellevue, Hotel Sierra, although not a national chain its a very nice little hotel. They have a bistro/bar area that serves a good breakfast and decent evening meals as well.
The photo has been heavily edited, Cross-Process Filter, Grit Filter, Temperature, and Exposure. I wasn't going for reality more of what my imagination saw. It was also about 4:30 am so it was pretty dark in the hallway so it was a good oppurtunity as well.
I will love you tomorrow
When this world breaks you down
I will give you strength to stand
Look to me, take my hand and just believe
Before this day ever began, I loved you then
I won't let you go, not even for a minute
So don't lose hope
Pain touches everyone
Heartache falls on every heart
-33 miles, I Loved You Then

This morning, Nathan left me a cd he made me on the front porch. I didn't get a chance to listen to it until this afternoon, but all of the songs are amazing. And I've only heard a couple before, so that's VERY good. Now to find my iPod cord....:P
I decided to take my picture this morning, because I had some extra time. The sunrise was super pretty, but I didn't get to it in time for the pink skies and stuff. But that's okay, this is still pretty cool.
Today was a normal day at school. :] Nothing real exciting.
Came home, did some homework while listening to my new cd. (<3) annnd..that's about it.
:] Life is swell.
Branding is next weekend. NEXT WEEKEND!
Pray for good weather. Because #1. If the weather is not nice, we can't brand. And I have plans for the next weekend so I would miss it. #2. Branding is an AWESOME photo oppurtunity. You'll get to see my work outside of self-portraits and Falcon! :P #3. Branding is FANTASTIC!!!! And WAY super fun. annnd--time away would be nice. And being with the Hogans. I sure do miss them...
PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER! I'm way too excited to be let down. :P
I wish the focus would have a been a BIT more on me.
but that's okay....I think....

In this little area called Oudorperpolder in Alkmaar, Netherlands some 10 to 15 pair of lapwing stay during the season. The are very alert and have many ways to express that you are unwanted :). This one gave me the oppurtunity for a close shot. The background is alittle messy, but the details pleased me.
someone called it street art. perhaps it may be. but whatever the perception, i'd say it's an oppurtunity to make a decision.
On Sunday, i got the oppurtunity to photograph Underage Festival for RedBull Reporter. This is most certainly the biggest oppurtunity and event i have covered in my life. I photographed bands such as Hadouken, Don Broco, Ellie Goulding and Professor green. Unfortunately i'm not allowed to upload any of my live photos yet so i have uploaded 4 portraits i have.
After his set i asked professor Green for a quick picture, he gave me this, very pleased with it.

I did not take the 6 photos that made up this image. I only processed them as discribed below.
Klaus Herrman took 6 images ranging from +2 to -3 and posted an oppurtunity for us to process these to show our work. farbspiel.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/hdr-cookbook-pics-to-p...
This is my offering. I processed them in Photomatix and used Enhancer Painterly Preset. Then I used Nik's Color Efex Pro for additional toning and added a slight vignette.
