This was taken today. I was not working but didn't really plan to shoot because it was raining heavily in the afternoon. When the weather is fine it was 5.30 pm & i just grab my stuff & head to this spot which is less 10 minutes drive from my home. But I underestimated the traffic & very frustrated looking at the wonderful big full soft orange sun is setting down in the horizon..ohh man!!! I missed it!! I'm still in the car..wargghhh. Feel like i just wanna drive back home for that missing oppurtunity.Hmmm..but i guess you just cannot feel lost for something that you don't have cause God will gives something back in another way & always even better than what you've missed. Peace to you my friend.
i don't specifically go out to shoot wildlife but i will always take the oppurtunity! here i feel the deer adds something special to this image. i wish i could have got this shot a bit higher quality but the light was so dim and i was shooting handheld. this was the single frame i captured before she ran off.
Taking the oppurtunity to dodge the showers the sun comeou for me to take this shot. Swaledale Yorkshire
Finding a fox den is probably one of the best photo oppurtunities for cute photos. The kits are naturally curious and are full of ambition. After visiting the den regularly, the kits will become comfortable with a humans presence.
This was taken on the tundra of Alaska's northern Arctic region. There were eight kits in this den and they were a hoot to photograph. This kit had just woke up from a nap and was sitting watching its siblings at play. I love its long tail, pointy nose and beautiful orange fur.
I no longer travel to the Arctic, did so for work, and I truly miss the wildlife of the North. In my ten years there, I was privileged to see both Red Fox and Arctic Fox, Wolves, Grizzly and Polar Bears, Musk Oxen, Caribou, and many different species of ducks, geese, raptors, owls and swans. The Arctic truly is a very special place for wildlife.
Went Saturday to the orchards of a friend. I know that the goldfinches are there at this moment.
They always are together now, female and the male. Female is searching for nestmaterial in the blossom and branches and the male, like this one is watching everything.
The oppurtunity for me to capture these beautiful birds. My absolute favorites !
No camouflage, handheld shot.

To my surprise its been over 2 years since I last photographed diving Kingfishers. However as the pool was frozen over today I took the oppurtunity to break a hole in the ice and watch the master getting some much needed food at this difficult time of year.

Awesome light today at Bandon Beach. The tide was very low so I had to literally get in the water to find some foreground interestingness. The tide can cover over 100 foot of beach so there is constantly changing compositional oppurtunities. Loved it and can't wait to go back!

GET OF MY BACK!
Yet again more mobbing at the hide. Only 2 weeks left to give yourself an oppurtunity like photos like these. 4 very happy clients today.
2.000 meter hight of mountain snow will almost started to melt due to unexpected temperature during this season. So most of people saw remained snow as an oppurtunity for skiing at weekend like me.
Finally able to upload my biggest achievement ever - the Maroon 5 artwork I did this summer! I was absolutely flabbergasted at having such an amazing oppurtunity and I have YOU guys, the flickr community to thank!
The band had been browsing google for ideas for their new album "Hands All Over" - and when they typed it into the image search, this old, overly processed image of mine came up. Thanks to the amount of support you guys had given me and my stream, it showed up in the first page and they were able to follow my stream through and contact me.
The Power of the Internet is truly gobsmacking, and seriously, I owe you guys so much. I try and give back as much advice as I can on my formspring and on my blog, so if you have any qs, please ask away!! I'm going to be writing up a post soon about how to get jobs and clients, so this will be a great example for anyone who's having trouble.
And of course, huge huge credit goes to the artist who inspired my earlier image, so please check out Antonina Art!
Flickr, you are truly awesome and a wonderful community - my photography home! Love you guys so much, and can't tell you how grateful I am for meeting you guys.

One from last night when the pup and I went for a little road trip. Thought I better try once more for one of these cause the weather is suppose to warm up and I don;t think I'll have the oppurtunity to get any more of these. These conditions aren't that common around here, so I'm really glad to have been blessed with this series. The pup sure enjoyed being out for a good hike again too!
I think you'll like it better when you hit "L"
Have a great Earth Day everyone and remeber scenes like this make all our efforts to conserve and protect the earth worthwhile
Reflecting on the day's duties, with the big day to go.
An end of a shunting shift for No. 55189 in preperation for a photo charter, she is likely the first of the Bo'ness home fleet to face East in many decades. Wanting to test out some new LED lights ahead of the November photo charters, the rarity of this scene was too good an oppurtunity to waste!
... and 1/60 in germany! Had a ride in this breathtaking beast! Thanks again to the very friendly owner for giving me this oppurtunity! :)
P.S.: This one's NO. 140 ^^

This juvenile bird is shaking off excess water as seen in the photo. Also this and other juveniles were in hiding while the adults were mobbing a large Tawny eagle a few moments before I photographed this shot. Initially we thought it was hiding from us. Adults were loud enough to assure us of them being in hot pursuit of the large eagle in the sky, while simultaneously warning the chicks. After the danger passed this chick came quite close and gave us good oppurtunity to photograph while we were sleeping and waiting for these.

Hey guys,
Here's a photo I got today, 365 image stack of both Dmap and Pmax before some editing in photoshop only.
Insight - I used Bellows at 150mm and extension tubes 50mm worth with a Nikon M PLAN 10x on the end.
2.5 second exposure time for each photo and 345 photos, god blimey took a while :D
Stacking is manual and automatically stacked in zerene stacker
Lighting is from 2x LED Lamps from IKEA and lighting for background a cheap non-directional lamp on some card I bought, nothing special.
On the way up to the Campus, I found a jumper on a wall whilst walking with a mate and decided to go back to the same wall later to catch one. Luckily within seconds, I did just that.
I also caught an interesting moth and an ant that was feeding on something odd.
Spring is bloody amazing, loving this already and hopefully loads more to come over summer after my final examinations in 2 weeks time !
I will bang out some more over the next week as the ant and moth will go to dust otherwise as i have no means other than a freezer to store them.
I also have a 20x of this very spider to go up, not a great image, but worth an upload I suppose.
Keep well all, this weather's definately outdoor macro weather !
NB - My rail has seen better days and is no longer functioning very well... over editing and some mirroring will be seen, sorry about that.
Will spend summer building an entire new setup for the months of stacking ahead :)
Thanks so much for all these views :))) Ill use this oppurtunity to direct you to my facebook macro page ! www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Francis-Priors-Macro-Photograph... hehe
This will be my last photo for a while. As far I know, I won't have computer/internet access until July 2nd and even then there is no promise that I'll be able to upload anything.
I'm going to put a pause on my 365 project, because even though I know that I'll be taking photos everyday, I'd rather let it be because I want to rather than because I feel obliged to. I know that I will try my best to come around when I can and post some shots to let you know how things are going and where we are. If you're really interested, you can always go to our tour page here
otesha.ca/bike+tours/2010+tours/coast+to+capital/index.en... and read our journals and biographies and see where we're headed.
If you live in any of the cities listed on the agenda, I would love it if you came out to see our presentation, it's really fun and inspiring and I'd love the oppurtunity to meet some of you!
Wishing you all a summer filled with excitement, laughter, good memories and positive energy, I know mine will be :)
See you soon!
C/2021 A1 Leonard . Canon 5DSr on Skywatcher Quattro 250P , 4 X 30 sec exposures stacked . Have had nothing but clouds for weeks here, finally got a break in the weather and got my astro setup out again after a good 6 month break. Took a while to remember everything involved . had a 2 hour window of oppurtunity just after sunset to get the christmas comet through a tiny gap in the trees in my backyard .Not what I was hoping to get , but only having a tiny window of opurtunity and relearning all the parts and software to drive the telescope , here is my attempt of Comet Leonard .
A rather over exposed moon gives the oppurtunity for the clouds to show what they got :-)

Sparrowhawk overload however this oppurtunity will only last a couple of more weeks before she lays eggs and stops visiting the site. Great to see the comparison in size and colouration between the sexes. Another day of non stop action. Still plenty availability and there is honestly never been a better time to visit this hide. We have a juvenile Male, the Female and 2 adult Males in every day. Visit the website to book at www.scottishphotographyhides.co.uk
A lovely photo oppurtunity as water gushes through the worn and batterd lock gates at Cape Bottom Lock No 24 Warwick
When i took this something bit me, a horse fly i think. My hand swelled up like i'd broken it! Thankfully today it started to return to normal, still damn itchy though!
Just around the corner from my house so next time i will have to be more prepared! I say that but there hasnt been too manu oppurtunities for sunsets! The weather has been rubbish!
I know its not the best of photos but, its a rare one! Ever since i have lived in the area i have wanted to get a photo of a train on the Down Fast line of the WCML at Cooks Wharf near Cheddington. Until today all photos have been going away pictures. The unfortunate disabling of 350124 on Thursday 28th October at Berkhamsted afforded me the rare oppurtunity to photograh a loco on the South end of a train here! 37510 brings up the rear whilst 57312 hauls a defective 350124 on wheelskates fron Berkhamsted to Northampton Kings Heath EMUD on the afternoon of 30th October 2021. Photo: Ivan Stewart.
Had a walk along the seafront last night looking for photo oppurtunities and found one in the form af a big rock and a timber path towards the sea.
This is a 122 second exposure using my B+W 10 stop filter.
Taken at the German market in Birmingham today. Ended up wasting my money on things I don't really need or like yet I seem to come back every year! I saw this guy watching his son ride around and took it as a perfect photo oppurtunity.

At the end of the winter, i saw as an oppurtunity to spend enjoyable time on the snow-covered earth.
I got the oppurtunity to shot Miss Wana when Capturepix's Studio testing their new lighting studio with Miss Wana a freelance model.
Thanks you guy for the sharing.
www.scottishphotographyhides.co.uk Got my 1st pics from the new and improved Otter hide this evening. Because of the popularity i made the effort to build a 4 man hide with a wider pool and from day 1 its producing some great images. I went tonight to try get some rain pics, but it was only light rain the few times they visited. However I took the oppurtunity to experiment with small in the frame. This particular shot was taken at 70mm focal length. If this incredible experience is something you would like to do email me at alanmcfadyen@ymail.com to enquire. Price is £90 pp which includes flash hire and guidance setting up. Its all relatively easy so please do not be intimadated.
This photo was shot on my way to Pondicherry. The huts, the trees and the river behind was quiet attractive.
The scene gave me a good oppurtunity to play with white balance after reading the article in malayali kootam.
Thanks to Challiyan for starting the thread and Shahin and all others who posted the tips in the thread. Really Appreciate it Guys.
This snap is dedicated specially to the people above and to all MalayaliKoottam Members.
Shot with Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6 DG Macro.
Really nice eraly spring day today so took the oppurtunity to have a wander through the woods.

www.scottishphotographyhides.co.uk 1st of September a day to remember..... A second visit to the site today and it was even better than last time. Lots of great pics over the weekend, but the highlight was getting Mum and Baby together. Yet again all thanks to Nigel Miller for giving me this oppurtunity.
You know...sometimes, things just don't go your way. A project doesn't meet your expectations, you don't get the oppurtunity you desired, you start to get lazy and your work suffers for it. It's hard not to feel like a failure during those times. It's hard to not beat up on yourself. It didn't seem to bad at first, but man, it sure bites you in the butt later.
But hey, that's how we learn, right? How do you expect to grow if you don't make mistakes? There could be a positive side to the feeling of failure... it's just hard to see that side of it. But I guess there is hope. I'm here for a reason after all.
I was really hesitant to upload this (hence why I'm posting so late) because I didn't want to rant, but it's been hard these past few days and sometimes I gotta vent through my art. It's all good in the hood though, like I said, failure happens, it's how we learn to be better. It'll be ok, I just need to buckle down and get to work.
This was a golden oppurtunity for me, it was taken from the 3rd floor of where I work this afternoon (Tuesday 7th April) for the 2009YIP Group! ;)
Morning walk in the Kaggadaspura walking track in a Dec 2016 winter gave me the oppurtunity to see this bird in close quarter.
This was the first glimpse.

Mantra: "Truth and love become light"
🇺🇸
What does the voice of fear whisper to you? Fear speaks to you in logic and reason.It assumes the magic of love itself. Fear tells you: I want to make you safe.
Love says: You are safe.
Fear says: Give me symbols. Give me frozen images, give me something that I can rely on.
Loving truth says: Only give me this moment.
Fear would walk you on a narrow path. Promising to take you where you want to go.
Love says: Open your arms and fly with me.
Every moment of your life you are offered the oppurtunity to choose: Love or fear. To tread the earth or to sore the heavens.
Why would fear want to oppose truth? Because truth has the power to transform fear.
🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭
Was flüstert Dir die Stimme der Angst zu? Die Angst spricht zu dir mit Logik und Vernunft. Sie nimmt die Magie der Liebe selbst an. Die Angst sagt dir: Ich will dich in Sicherheit bringen.
Die Liebe sagt: Du bist sicher.
Die Angst sagt: Gib mir Symbole. Gib mir erstarrte Bilder, gib mir etwas, auf das ich mich verlassen kann.
Die liebende Wahrheit sagt: Gib mir nur diesen Moment.
Die Angst würde dich auf einen schmalen Pfad führen. Sie verspricht, dich dorthin zu bringen, wo du hin willst.
Die Liebe sagt: Öffne deine Arme und fliege mit mir.
In jedem Augenblick deines Lebens hast du die Möglichkeit zu wählen: Liebe oder Angst. Die Erde zu betreten oder sich am Himmel zu verletzen.
Warum sollte sich die Angst der Wahrheit widersetzen? Weil die Wahrheit die Macht hat, die Angst zu verwandeln.

This picture is #25 in the 100 Strangers Project - Round 3
Meet Nelli
Another long gap since my last stranger click, with work and other priorities leaving very less time to venture out. Of course the the cold winter months and short days don't help much. So I am quite happy to have moved the counter forward, with a amazing stranger such as Nelli.
In fact, I was actually in Bethesda for a planned shoot - the model being a prior stranger from the project. But unfortunately she had car troubles which made travel difficult and we had to reschedule. But since I was on my way, and the day looked good, I decided to continue and stroll around hoping to spot someone striking to photograph. Given the wonderful set of personalities I have had the oppurtunity to photograph so far, its been rather difficult to find folks that inspire you the same way. But luckily for me, in a few minutes of walking, saw Nelli at a distance and the stranger bells started ringing immediately. She had a sparkling personality that made her stand out in a crowd, and her overall style including those pants were definitely eye catching. I quickly made my way as she and her friend Adam stood by the parking meter. I managed to reach them just as they were about to walk away, and made my request. As much as I am open to being refused by folks, and its quite understandable, in this instance I was really hoping for a positive response, and really happy when Nelli agreed.
I didnt want to take up too much time, so chose a spot close by with a narrow lane flanked by buildings offering open shade on a sunny day. Although the background had a lot of clutter and distractions I was confident the blur with the shallow aperture would actually make it appealing. Also, it was slightly quieter and had less people walking by, as opposed to the main street.
To say that Nelli was an absolute live-wire would be a understatement, as she immediately channeled her "model" with a spring in her step. Quickly moving into poses, with minimal or pretty much no instruction, with amazing ease - just a mere suggestion of a pose and she already had moved into position. Its great to have a striking stranger to photograph, and when they have such great attitude and confidence, you can thank your stars. Adam stood by with a fond approving admiring smile never leaving his face, as we shot a few pics.
Nelli, is a fitness instructor which honestly should not be a surprise. Her hobbies include photography as well being photographed having dabbled in modeling in her "younger" days. Of course going by the ease of her posing and expressions, this shouldnt be a surprise either. Her favorite memory - having her babies - yes she is mommy of two which was quite a surprise to me. What's her favorite quality of herself - her positive attitude which honestly was ver visible throughout our interaction, as was her confidence and high energy vibe.
Thanks a lot Nelli for being a part of this project (and of course Adam for the support). It was pleasure making your acquaintance and wish you the very best. Hope you do like the pictures and I sure look forward to working with you again

I say this quite often but I actually think this is my favourite image of the year!
Not because i think its technically good or anything like that but because of the story behind it. A tale of woe that turned into utter joy! We had arrived at the location excited for hoarfrost and fog but had neither. Despondantly trudging around the lower levels of the woods, I was getting more and more depressed about a missed oppurtunity. However my mate Davey boy convinced me to push up onto the plains above and boy was that the right call ( never tell him I said that!).
We had some hoarfrost, thick fog and these beautiful pine woodlands that at first were not looking too good, just a hint of frost in places but otherwise quite bland. It was a definite improvement on what we had further down though so I perked up and got about seeking out the compositions.
After about 30 minutes it started to snow quite heavily and I was deep onto the plain at this point photographing some stunning lone trees. I decided to head back to the pines and after a hard slog was greeted with these stunning scenes with thick, fluffy flakes stil falling around me. It was a moment of pure joy for me as these were EXACTLY the conditions me and Dave had talked about wanting over winter. The only problem was trying to get to places with this amount of snow on the ground.....but we had timed it to perfection and it had staerted once we were actually at a location! Awesome!
Anywho, Merry Xmas to all who have managed to read this far. I appreciate every single one of you for following, liking and commenting on my work, you really don't know how much it means that others appreciate what I do to take a moment of their day to brighten mine. Thank you.
Once again a huge thanks goes to Mr Sparrowhawk himself Ian Todd for allowing me the oppurtunity to photograph one of my fave birds at the nest. No one knows more than me the work from start to finish that goes into these projects and the least I can do is give credit where its due. All to often I see the work I do being worded by other photographers in images taken at my hides in a way to deceive that it was them that did the groundwork.
Now dont get me wrong, as paying clients they are under no obligation to credit me, but when they make it out to be themselves that have doine it all it is rather annoying and does nothing but make themselves look stupid and a bit desperate. I just wanted to get that off my chest as there has been quite a few this year ;)
From this day.
Thank you so much to Zoe for the testimonial, you are such a blessing, dear.
Would anyone be interested in a Flickr gathering in New York City this summer? There are so many of you I would love to meet, and Central Park is always a good oppurtunity for photos. ;) If you would like to come to New York, send me a Flickrmail or a message on Facebook so we can start working it out!
IT WON'T LET ME TAG ANYMORE PEOPLE but consider yourself tagged if you see this!
Just took advantage of an quick oppurtunity to take some shots of this fine SLS. Wish I had more time and a better location but as it wasn't a formal photoshoot I just enjoyed the car and took some pictures. I experimented a lot on the editing so this probably won't be the norm.
I bet everyone is wondering why in the hell I would post a cemetery picture on Thanksgiving. Well, Elmwood is a different sort of place. It is a place that once you cross the bridge, you are transported into a world of a different time. It is welcoming and comforting. I am Thankful that it is only a few blocks from my home and that when I need to escape my walls, I can escape there. I am thankful to be alive and not have a life cut short, and I am even more thankful for the oppurtunity to be a visual witness and messenger for the places over looked in life. I am off to cook a feast for Ken and his Mom, I will get some pictures of it later. I hope that you all have a good day, and whether you are here in the US or scattered around the world, be thankful for every moment you are alive, even if the moment feels like hell, at least you are alive.
