This youngster sees his golden oppurtunity to get away from his parents for a little while....
Back from my most amazing trip to Beara yet.It was my first proper photo trip down in nearly a year.I couldnt believe my luck,beautiful sunrises, sunsets, painted skies, moonlit and starry skies at night.To top it all off got some shots of a wild billy goat over the rugged beara coast and a family of other wild goats with a few newborn kids playing in the fields and over the rocks,a realy special experience..I had all these amazing places to get too as i wasnt happy with some of my previous shots.I really couldnt have timed it better and every place i got to came up trumps.
This beautiful big view awaits you when you round the hills from near Urhan and i was planning on getting here to catch the morning glow on the headland,i managed to get the other shots i wanted too.My jaw nearly hit the floor when i saw this,never in my wildest dreams did i imagine i would see this big beautiful full red moon setting just off the point in one of my favourite plces.I slammed on the brakes jumped out and set up as i knew it could be gone in any minute.I managed to get about 6 or 7 shots before it dissapeared.Probably a once in a lifetime oppurtunity oppurtunity for me as it is a near 3 hour drive from my house down here.
Beara Peninsula Co Cork.
I waked through this serene and picturesque bamboo forest in Arashiyama near Kyoto, Japan along with several other tourists. For a moment, I pondered that I would never get an opportunity to make an image without few people in my frame. But it started raining and I found my bliss...the path started clearing up and the colors got saturated.
As a wise man once said: "Opportunity, sooner or later, comes to all who work and wish."
Turning in Truro's Victoria Square under the famous 3 spire cathedral, Mercedes Citaro 64054 WK15DMO can be seen in a short pause in traffic and people that usually flock here usually thwarting any clear photo oppurtunities!
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 ;)
May 2009 Give One And All The Oppurtunity To:
1. Keep it together.
2. Mend Everything that we wish we had earlier.
3. Lead a crystal clear life, on the exterior and within.
4. Settle differences.
5. Let our actions Mirror our conscience.
6. Apologise to people who deserve it.
7. Sincerely aim towards self betterment.
8. Respect elders and the elderly/ Empathise.
9. Dare to do all the things we have never done.
10. Breathe.
11. Be thankful for all we have, including our lives.. instead of pursuing what we wish we could have had.

A trip to Mayfield lavender fields in Surrey provided a great oppurtunity for some Macro work with so many bees about.

Update
Again in Dec 2010, CWC got an oppurtunity to meet and shoot with Henk / Oochappan
A night shoot at RAF Conningsby 13th October 2018, a great oppurtunity to get up close to the RAF GR4 Tornado, a plane that really packs a punch.

Well the Cuckoo is sadly over for another season. He will be heading back to Africa any day now. The 1st day I have had no customers since the 16th of April so I took the only oppurtunity I had to get hime on wide angle. What a season it has been with another 100% hit rate. By far the best ever with over 100 clients getting mobbing shots some of which were truly spectacular. A huge thanks to all that booked this hide and lets hope its more of the same in 2020, Many Thanks Alan
Shot with Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6 DG Macro.
Really nice early spring day today so took the oppurtunity to have a wander through the woods.
when i was a kid i remember wanting to go here so bad.. and i got an oppurtunity to i was so stoked i walked all 3 miles of this wall, my mind was fucking blown.. since this day i've never been the same.
A shot I had seen all week but never got the oppurtunity to stop. Yesterday though I did and because of the early morning mist the Sun was blocked out enough to get the form of it captured perfectly. This is in Edenderry in my hometown of Portadown, Northern Ireland. The arch you see on the right with the flag is the memorial arches erected each year in memory of the Battle of the Boyne.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! i know im 3 days late... i was out of town :D
i wish you all a happy 2010, and i hope you all get bombarded with beautiful photo oppurtunities every single day of the year <3
& i send you my peanut buttery love. hahahahaha :)
2010. thats crazy.
I spent a wee bit of time yesterday on Google Earth looking for somewhere a wee bit different with-in the Angus district and found this , and strangley enough there does not seem to a lot of activity on this area on Flickr . If you do fancy going up here for a nosey then be prepared for a wee bit of an uphill walk , not to steep but steep enough . Its actually not the easiest place in the world to get to as I found out , but by the time I headed of and eventually found it I had lost the sky that I had kinda hoped for , this would be facing approx Sunset at this time of year but there are also other photographic oppurtunities to be had and definatlely somewhere I shall be heading back to , and as Flickr is here for sharing then I thought that I would just share this with you all , the light was pretty bad by the time I got here so I took 2 exposures ,one for the foreground and one for the sky and blended them in photomatix. Anyone that fancies going up here but not to sure of how to get here just F.M. me and I'll give you directions
During my first own run nightshoot for In Search of Steam, I couldn't resist the oppurtunity to shoot through the door. In a scene straight from the 1950's (if you ignore the lining slightly visible on Caledonian No. 828), Ivatt No. 46512 simmers outside the shed while roommate No. 57566 sits cold inside, just waiting for a fire to bring her to life for her next duty.

We were blessed with great weather during the majority of the trip. For the average human being that is. Weather you would wish for sun bathing at the pool. Cloudless days. Often times atmospheric beauty lies right on the cusp of stormy weather. Oddly enough 50% chance of thunderstorms is a God send for landscape photographers, unfortunately there are no guarantees. For 2 days prior to this day we had empty skies and we finally saw a change in the weather. Having previously visited this location the day before, I knew it was a solid scene so I decided to hike back to it and was ecstatic about the oppurtunity unfolding in front of me. About 1 minute after this was taken, the susnet became a dud, rats.
Some times it is easy and other times it is hard, but it all averages out to be well worth it in the end.
Today, myself, and a number of notable AFOLs, had the pleasure of being invited to breakfast by LEGO - where we had the oppurtunity to get sneak peeks at upcoming sets, yummy treats, and some awesome swag.
And absolutely no spoilers, but OMG there is some great stuff coming.
It was a year with lots of lightnings, so i had lots of oppurtunities for testing before i get this nice shot
NS 9725 leads a rather short, fast moving MNPAL with 2 other NS units behind it on this cold, dreary, and wet afternoon. UP has done a lot of brush-cutting recently around Hudson, opening a few more oppurtunities for shots. The recent brush cutting has resurfaced a couple original telegraph poles on the hill that were originally covered in trees. It's very cool to see it still around in some capacity on the Altoona Sub.
An oppurtunity to head over to Treasure Island around sunset was too good to miss. It's probably one of the best places to get a shot of the San Francisco skyline, along with the Bay Bridge. The fog was rolling in from the right in this shot, but the colours were still doing their best to shine through. This is the only 'golden hour' shot I managed from the city due to the fog, but it's definitely a favourite.

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.
One of the great things about photography is that a long drive just means more photo oppurtunities! This is one of oppurtunities we passed driving to Anniston to shoot with the North Central Alabama Photographers this past Saturday!
There's more to Geroldsee than its chalets and lake. A 90 degree turn shows off an idyllic mountainscape layered with trees and cliffs.
It was our second to last day abroad—I was coming down with a fever and incessant coughing, so I was tempted to spend this last oppurtunity indoors with a cup of tea. But in early October, it was hard to find sunlight, much less beautiful sunsets, so when the sky looked exceptional a couple hours before sunset, we made the half hour drive to Geroldsee.
Before my first trip to Germany two years ago, I imagined this to be a common scene in Bavaria, but came away disappointed by Germany's dismal and cloudy outlook this time of year. What a treat to see Bavaria again, and in a much better light!
3-shot blended exposure.

i am really quite tempted to tell you the whole story behind this photo, but i guess that would probably take away the fun of interpreting it yourself! i would love to hear your own interpretations of this, and maybe in a few days i will write my story on here :)
i go away tommorow with my best friend Rachel Poxon, for a whole week. although it will be a good photo oppurtunity, i won't be on here for a while, so i guess this is a farewell upload until then!
Regno Unito, Londra, Heal’s staircase, Tottenham Court Road, Primavera 2013
Molto vicino al mio ospedale, nel cuore di Fitzrovia vi è una delle più famose scalinate di Londra ... scalinata della guarigione ... un'ottima opportunità fotografica dopo il lavoro! La scultura gatto in bronzo è stata realizzata dallo scultore francese Chassagne. Sir Ambrose Heal, l’allora proprietario lo acquistò nel 1925, pensando di venderlo in negozio, ma alla fine gli piacque così tanto che questo non avvenne mai.
Very close to my hospital, in the heart of Fitzrovia there is one of the most famous staircases in London...the heal's staircase...a very good photographic oppurtunity after work! The bronze cat sculpture was made by the French sculptor Chassagne. Sir Ambrose Heal, the owner of Heal's at that time, bought it in 1925, planning to sell it in the store; he liked it so much that this never happened.
every sunset is an oppurtunity to reset

E le mie mani ad un certo punto hanno iniziato a digitare tasti, a cercare di fare ordine nel tempestoso mare che è la mia vita, hanno iniziato a far spazio e a creare nuovi luoghi eistenziali, aprire varchi inimmaginabili verso dimensioni sconosciute.
Attacco a buttare giù parole e prende forma un sentiero che attraversda valli e poderi, non si ferma, altre parole e si intravedono cascate e fiumi in piena, altri tic tac e ci si ritrova nel bel mezzo dell'Oceano.
Non mi fermo più ho ritrovato il senso di raccontarmi sgrammaticamente (come in fondo è la mia vita), continuo a far correre le dita sulla tastiera, cieli azzurri da tagliare a metà come una scia di un aereo, nuvole incazzate pronte a rovesciare tutta la rabbia sotto forma di pioggia purificatrice sul terreno imputridito.
Visioni, flashback, ricordi, fantasie, introspezioni, tutto passa per questo pezzo di plasctica che raccoglie e trasferisce su uno schermo.
Strano però pensavo fosse molto più complicato....ma forse di complicato c'è solo la vita che ci troviamo a percorrere, quella si senza correttore automatico...e soprattutto senza l'oppurtunità di essere riletta e rivista prima di clikkare "Invio"!
The Leicester Caribbean Festival 2009 was an excellent oppurtunity to take some photos. This was part of the prcession, there were 2 people controlling the whole thing. As you can see it wasn't exactly sunny but the rain held off till I finished taking photos!

I hold my hands up to the fact this is the worst car I have ever bought for many reasons but the oppurtunity to own my first ever fast Ford and probably the only oppurtunity I will get to own an XR2i.
I left my number with the owner of this around a year ago, she text me to thank me for my note and say the car will be for sale come its next MOT due to it requiring some welding in order to pass. Inevitably it went in for its MOT on Wednesday and failed badly. The owner was up front and told me everything, we agreed a price and I drove it away that night.
Its done a whopping 173K and body wise and interior it really shows but the engine is as strong as an ox and its an absolute hoot to drive so a real shame its been majorly let down by rust.
Unsure on a long term plan for it but I would love to get it through an MOT, make it more presentable and daily it but financially that probably wont be possible with other projects on the go.
Former Chevron Gas Station located at 3004 Andrade Rd. in Sunol,CA. In 2003 the place was closed and would sit vacant until 2006 when a new owner acquired the gas station. The new owner renamed the gas station Sunol Super Stop and has set the gas prices far below the average for the area. Im really curious as the why the prices are so low here as the closest gas station is more than 3 miles away creating the perfect oppurtunity to price gouge. But that is not the case as this gas station is well kept, stocked (in the food mart), and has 100 and 110 grade racing fuels available.
A nice autumn day with no wind, overcast sky, and occasional light rain and 41 degrees. I spent a couple hours in Spokane's Manito Park looking for photo oppurtunities. I liked these chestnut leaves backlit with the soft light from the overcast sky.
Taken with B+W ND110 and pretty much need help on the title...
Oppurtunity to grab my camera to work on LE in China over the long weekend.
My CS4 corrupted once again and I cant seems to re-install it on Win7, anybody have this problem?
!!! Please, do not leave award or faving without a comment, a small comment will make my day. Thank you !!!
While exploring in the woods with some fellow flickr folk, I had the oppurtunity to shoot the enchanting Lissy Laricchia. It was an experience getting to know her and the rest of the characters we had at the DC Gathering and I miss all of them.
A little self-portrait I took, back in May, as the sun rose. I took the oppurtunity to play around with a prism I got recently and this was the result :) it's not that impressive, but I had so much fun casting rainbows onto my skin as the sun came up, so I thought I'd share it neverthheless... and, you know what they say, 'practice makes perfect', so maybe I'll shoot something better with it another day!
(I've also got a bunch of new polaroids and some film photos from the day I met lovely Paulina, that I recently got developed, to share with you, so fingers crossed I'll find some time to scan them all and post them, as soon as possible.)
I hope you've been having a wonderful June and that you're all happy and well :) lots of love, Mari-ann ♥ xxx
Hayakawa River, Kanagawa Perfecture and View It Large
Took the early morning oppurtunity to do serious photographing around Hakone area as my wife, daughter and friends went for a dip at nearby hot spring. Does not fancy the dip and out I go searching for something to work on.
Started with a work at nearby river. A famous one as its near the Yumoto, Hakone Tozan Railway Station.

I actually really like this, for whatever reason..
Yay! This got to Explore as #60 on Friday, August 1, 2008!
Remember the tunnel in Chicago O'hare airport? I got an oppurtunity to capture more pictures of this tunnel and this time I took my time in composing these shots.
The neon lights that go down the centre, over the moving walkways, are laid out in a rainbow pattern and sequence on and off in a ripple pattern.
Have a Great Start to the Week
had the oppurtunity to visit malvern hills had never been before had a fantastic afternoon walking in the sunshine was truly spectacular with absolutley stunning views
i walked to the top of that hill highest point in worcestershire
I LIKE Neil Etasse's Model A coupe, and those arches finally became available in brown, so it seemed like the perfect oppurtunity to build a bitchin car.
Finally made it to this place. One of the holy grail places of exploring in Austalia, a few years ago I thought I had lost the oppurtunity. Try and try again and you may succeed.
Today is Mother´s Day in Sweden. I would like to take the oppurtunity to celebrate my lovely mother Isolde who is still a very important person in my life.
Aged 77 she is not in the best shape.
This photo was taken when I was 2 years old. Yeah, that´s me in the middle, and my dad Peter.
Thank you Mother for creating me and bringing me into this Universe and Life!
Such a perfect spur of the moment photo oppurtunity this was as I was waiting for traffic to move along in a parking lot. I've seen this car before, but not out of it's driveway. I wouldn't say these are rare by any means, but they aren't abundant either. I see them occasionally. The number plate on this was once on a Fiat X1/9. Same owner, just different car. I have an album made just for the cars that the owner has/had over the years.
Andolys? YES, we said we would keep adding to the spires of andolys collection and here is one that we wanted to do during fantasy faire but our time ran out :D ,
Enchantment's mermaid theme veent was th eperfect oppurtunity to do our lil mermaid version of her cove, the little cove is perfect for unerwater, it has mermaid couples and singles poses! the little bed is a single mermaid bed :)
gyazo.com/277448786eb3985eb7934ee38afcc886 find us at enchanment on august 15!
