Digging into the archives as i havent clicked any pics since my trip to Aspen. This was taken this year during annual Tribute to light on 9/11. I was looking for good vantage point after taking pics on brooklyn bridge with the lights and there i saw this couple. While everybody else there was in awe of the lights, these two were just in awe of each other. I am usually shit scared of taking candid photographs of strangers, but which photographer would want to miss such an oppurtunity to capture a beautiful moment. So i place my tripod in front of them and quickly took some shots and moved ahead to click some more pics of the lights.
I got to test the Olympus Pen for two weeks for Salt Magazine. The original assignment read: photograph trees. Of course I cannot resist testing it on Lóis too. We had sun this morning and I took the oppurtunity to test in our tiny hallway. I wrapped Lóis in a fleece blanket, hung a blanket behind her and started the session. Lóis was very okay being wrapped in a blanket. She even stood still while I got the other blanket and hung it behind her. Good girl. I like this one of her, because it shows that she doesn't mind, she is as regal as usual, as long as I feed her fish in between. I used the pinhole art filter on the camera but edited some light afterward in PS and added a mild structure to add to the feeling of a painting that I tried to create.
Lóis' feature on her 52 weeks for dogs in 2011 on her blog: loismoendanny.wordpress.com/52-weeks-of-lois-in-2011
Got the oppurtunity to photograph this beauty today... Thank you Ashayana for the oppurtunity to capture you
They had a feature on the news yesterday in which they showed us how to freeze a soap bubble. I thought it would be fun to try and get a picture of one. Yesterday was prohibitively cold, but this afternoon it got up to a balmy 10 F with minimal wind chill, so I decided to give it a try. It took several attempts, but I finally caught a bubble and kept it on the ring long enough for it to freeze before it could break. There was a little bit of a wind so that made it challenging. It froze in only about a minute. I was hoping for a spectacular macro of the ice crystals, but it was hard to focus and this is the best I could do. You can see that there is already a dent in it. I didn’t have a lot of oppurtunities for repeated shots as the wind picked up and blew it apart. (See picture in comments.) And it was too cold to go back out and try again. It was fascinating to watch it freeze. It would have been nice to have an assistant to hold it so that I could take pictures of it while it was freezing.

The Speckled Hawk-owl, also called the Oriental Hawk owl (Ninox punctulata) is a small owl at 20-17 cm. It is a reddish brown hawk owl with a white-spotted head, back and wings, a white throat patch, black facial disk, and white eyebrows.
This owl is found mainly in Indonesia and lives mainly in forests near streams, open woodland, and cultivated regions with scattered trees. It is mainly found below 1100 meters, but is occasionally seen at up to 2300 meters above sea level. It is fairly common throughout its range.
Note: Rexita got her name because she was first named Rex. They thought she might be a male when she was a baby. They had to fix that real quick once they discovered that she was a female.
It's late after getting home tonight from the zoo and downloading all the photos but I just had to post these photos of this most beautiful owl. It's the first time I had an oppurtunity to photograph this owl so I was so happy that the photos turned out nicely. The bottom two are of her and her handler. Hope you all have a good nights sleep. Sweet Dreams!
At last have the oppurtunity to go shooting over the weekend. Went to this place for a run with my mates and finishing it off with some photography session.

Whilst taking shelter from the rain, I not only stayed dry but as an added bonus I found some great photo oppurtunities inside this barn/outbuilding.
Not a bad way to say goodby! This one was taken on my last morning in South Australia last year in March. I chose to stay in Port Elliot on the Fleurieu Peninsula for one last night before I headed further East and sadly left the state. During my time in South Australia the Fleurieu Peninsula turned out to be a photographers playground and I took every oppurtunity I had to drive down there from Adelaide, staying for sunset and sunrise.
Went up to the Enchanted forest at the weekend for their penultimate show of the season. It was brilliant, I highly recommend it. Great lighting synced with music and about a bazillion photo oppurtunities.
Visited Mats vd Brand and couldn't miss the oppurtunity to shoot the 1:11 Lego M3 with its 1:1 counterpart.
Sorry I haven't been around much...haven't had the oppurtunity to go out photographing lately. With my older one back to school full time which I pick up for lunch everyday & my little one going to preschool a few times a week in the morning...doesn't leave me much time to go out exploring.
These Cosmos flowers were taken near my home in front of an art gallery/studio.
Hope you are all doing well...wishing you a great week! :)))
Winner- Nature In Focus Competition,Category-Creative Nature Photography,Thank You NIF for this great oppurtunity and jury's,Dedicating this award to my mom,friends and to all contestants,last but not least to Mother Nature and her incredible creatures
oh im not going to pretend to be some hardcore train bomber that breaks into yards (full respect to them though) its just that the hostel i was staying at was right next to a train station that kept a load of trains in garages but also some where just parked outside and it seemed like too good an oppurtunity to miss
i did lots of tags on the trains and there should be some more photos to come but i also attempted to paint a straight letter piece on the side of one but ran out of paint half way through hahaha
there are so many cliche sayings about being young. It's crazy how much oppurtunity and possibility I have at this point in my life. I can do anything I want to do and be whoever I want to be. so for me the beauty of being young is that I can shape my future to be even better than I could ever imagine. 11/52
The best action of yesterday's G1 minor storm probably got covered by the clouds, managed to get at least something, waiting for new oppurtunities.
As much as Iove the idea of the new App-Controlled Batmobile (Set 76112) It just doesn't look like a Batmobile. Not really. Which meant it was the perfect oppurtunity to MOC it up.
So, using the 1989 Batmobile as inspiration, I present - The Chibi Batmobile.
And yes, it's a lot of fun to drive.
After CarliswagBlog had the interview with YDIE EMPIRE’S boss, YOUNG SHIMA, It was granted an oppurtunity to interview another star acts from the YDIE castle, she goes by the stage Name VALENAA, YDIE’s Diva Valenaa is someone who you would like to sit and chat with, speaks...
One last little shot from my shooting with this breathtaking car! Thanks again to the very cool owner for giving me this oppurtunity and all! I really fell in love with this car, it's almost even with my all-time dreamcar: the LP 570-4 Superleggera! :)
Feel free to post comments, criticize or favourite it!
Thank you all :)
After packing the light up and generally becoming too cold to hang around anymore, I was ready to go. Michael (photograph-oppurtunity-noticer-extrodinare) pointed out the rather striking mist across the road.
This is a far more 'true' reflection of what it was like to stand there, lit only by the moon, in the middle of nowhere. Silence in the moonlight with who knows what in the shadows.

As I post this it is still raining , hopefully if there is some-one above that he/she is going to balance it out by giving us a least a fortnight of sunshine .Unfortunatley work has taken over just now and it looks as though its going to be like this for the next three weeks ( could be worse, could be a brickie ), then we have our annual holidays and hopefully a wee bit of sunshine . To everyone who does look in take care and hopefully we will speak soon . As for the Image , I know , but there was a wee break on Sat. evening and I just took the oppurtunity to go out for a wee while , whats the saying " make hay while the sun shines "
The Outrider, Inspired by the Shadows of the Empire comics.
This vehicle was in my head for a very long time, and it was time for a MOC of this model.
In the end it took me more than a year on and off building before completing it.
Actual building time around 20 hours or so. The variety on source material made it a bit difficult to grasp the "real" version. The good part of this is that this gave me the oppurtunity to freestyle a bit here and there. Hope you like it!
To be honest, the photo's don't really do the model justice, need to work on my photography skills :/
I was lucky enough to be given the oppurtunity to shoot at a new, amazing hotel in Colorado. The Black Monarch is a dark, curiosities, eccentric themed hotel that is a one of it's kind. It used to be a casino, brothel, and saloon back in the Gold Rush era, so as you can imagine, with all these unqiue qualities combined, I had such a fun, creative time shooting there. I felt so fortunate to be allowed to literally explore the whole space and shoot wherever we wanted to.

This train was formed of the seating portion of the Edinburgh - Bristol sleepers. It returned as the 1305 Plymouth - Bristol stopper which got overtaken at just about every oppurtunity!
The storm I refer to is because of what I shot after this photo. I walked around the corner from my house on the way back to work. I was proud with some good photos and walked to the road. Blocking my path was this old chinese bus which I thought was a good photo oppurtunity. The photo didn't come out so well as I was too close and was running late for work. The driver seemed distressed about something and he signalled to me. I kept walking as I thought he was angry for taking a picture of his old as hell bus. He got out and he was wearing a military uniform. He motioned to me spouting Chinese about god knows what. I thought maybe I was going to get acosted again, like earlier when I was taking a picture of the moon apparently nearby a army base! So anyway I showed him the photo and he asked me to delete it (maybe because it was so bad). And he seemed happy. I walked to work and a few minutes later a car screetched up and another army got out shouting like crazy at me. He took my photo and he was questioning me! I told him I didn't understand and I continued to work. He followed me all the way to work untill I took him to see my boss. He demanded the camera to see the images. I told them no way is he touching this camera! So we downloaded the images onto a nearby computer because he didn't believe I didn't have the picture anymore. So we downloaded all the images onto the computer and he started seeing how much of an asshole he was being. He sulked away from the computer when he realised he was wrong and muttered a muted sorry and went on his foreigner bashing ways! The outcome of the story was that I have to be more careful of what I shoot from now on, as the military base has many interests in the area. The original photo was of a 50 year old bus with two elderly passengers!! I couldn't believe it. The sensitivity of the confrontation was due to three Taiwanese spies having being caught last week in the same area. The chinese translator refused to translate my parting comment to the officer saying "when's the last time you saw 007 taking pictures of a bus with two elerly passengers 20 metres away in broad daylight?". I don't think this is the last I'll here of these guys. And thank god they didn't link me to me giving a finger to a military vehicle earlier this week.... fun times in China...
Hope you enjoy this pic. It's with my new lens! I love it!
Sunrise from our first morning out in Iceland , probably my favourite of all the locations we visited , so many oppurtunities here.

Headed over to Bexhill as the seafront there has an abundance of photo oppurtunities.
Thes shelters have so much character and I've been after a shot of one for ages.
This is a 110 second exposure with me sitting in the shelter having a ghostly presence thanks to the LE.
It was quite refreshing doing a LE where the sea doesn't dominate the picture but I would have loved to see more of a streaking sky for extra drama.
I increased the vignette to encapsulate the shelter.
For this picture I pressed the button on my cable release and locked it in position with bulb mode activated then just walked over and sat down, at the end of the exposure I got up and released the button, simples.
I got a few funny looks as my camera and tripod was left in the middle of the pavement and I was sitting in the shelter hidden slightly for a couple of LE pictures.
As you can see I'm getting better at colour correction.

Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from sub-tropical to arctic.
This wild variation fosters an incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountain range on earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers, forested hills and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes anywhere. The country is a potpourri of 101 ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 92 languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing attractions and adventure oppurtunities found nowhere else on earth. And you can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the year in traditional style highlighting enduring customs and beliefs.
Welcome To Nepal

Pole Dancer: Megumi Yuzuki / 柚月恵
Couple of months ago I had this assignment to take some profile photos of a pole dancer, this was the first time for me to shoot someone doing this type of dance, and we did some very interesting stuff together. Her name is Megumi Yuzuki / 柚月恵, and she is one of the best pole dancers in Japan, she is very professional and also very easy to work with. We have also done some other shoots after this one, but the result from them I will upload later! In this article I will explain the strobist setup of the edgy lighting I've been using for her, and you can see some of the photos below!
Here is the whole article about the shoot on my Website! Check it out! Here I will mention just a little about it. In this shoot after a talk with my model, trying to analyze her I decided to go with some edgy lighting, thus putting some emphasize on her beautiful body lines. So I decided to use my strip lights from both sides diagonally and shoot without any light from the front side. I think this really created some images that show in a really good way her body structure. Then after some shots with only the strip lights, I thought to put some life into the background, so here came the flash gels, on this shoot I used blue and purple, as you will see on the shots I've uploaded down in the article! And after setting that, it was just about to shoot, she was now posing that much as she was just doing it the way when she is dancing, so I didn't have to tell her a lot what to do!
So, what is actually the pole dance? Well, maybe from the influence of the Hollywood movies, but the pole dance still has the reputation of strippers in the night club. Actually it is getting popular as an excercise and something to learn, also it is gving you the oppurtunity to practice and enjoy spins, acrobatics, floor movement and others tricky things! She is teaching students from 16 to 60 years of age, so you can do pole dance no matter what age you are, and no matter what job you are doing! Megumi is organizing a party called PDN. It has a different theme every time, for example doing collaboration with salsa and samba dancers, capoeira, or even jazz and and other types of live music combined with pole dancing to create an interesting show, and deliver their concept. Approximately 20 dancers perform on each show, and they dance until late in the night. Pole dance is a way for every woman to polish herself as a beautiful woman in a healthy way. You don't need to look like a celebrity or have amazing acrobat skills of an olympic player to do pole dance, it can be practiced by everyone no matter of social status and age!
では、ちょっと日本語で説明も入れますね！
ポールダンスはポールを使い、スピン、アクロバット、フロアムーブなどで楽しむダンスです。ストリッパーや映画のクラブシーンなどのイメージが強いですが、今はエクササイズや習い事として、広がっています。私は現在16歳から60歳の生徒を指導しています。そして、PDNというポールダンスを中心したパーティーをオーガナイズしています。PDNには毎回テーマがあり、サンバやカポエラジャズダンス、サルサ、生演奏など、ポールダンスだけではなく、いろんなジャンルとコラボレーションしたり、ミュージカルのような演出をしたり、世界観とメッセージ性をとても大切にしています。毎回約20名のダンサーたちが出演し、終電まで盛り上がっています。ポールダンスを健全なアートとして、女性らしさを磨くエクササイズとして、どんな職業や年齢の人にでも楽しんでもらいたい、ダンスは恵まれた容姿や、ずば抜けた身体能力のある人のものだけではなく、一生懸命がんばってステージデビューを目指したり、自分の個性や、伝えたいメッセージを探しながら、仲間とともに奮闘し、少しずつ変わっていく生徒たちとともに日々成長するのは私の喜びです！

If the oppurtunity ever arises to visit Bodnant Gardens in North Wales then take it,the place is stunning
It was a year ago today I saw the Nova in Sainsburys car park and ceased my oppurtunity to put a note on it which paid off! I still cant believe my luck with this car, I honestly thought I would never see it again. The previous owner said when I showed her the photos from 2014 of the car it was obviously meant to be.
I have spent a lot of money on this car and it is getting to the point where its more than what the car is worth but I dont care, this is a keeper so I am not afraid to spend money on it like I have with previous old cars.
I have done around 800 miles in it since May, most covered between then and September time and only covering about 50 miles in recent months as I dont want to use him in the wet and when there is salt on the roads for obvious reasons. I would like to attend some shows with it this year as original Nova's are becoming so few and far between now.
This year I want to get a new clutch put in it, all the brakes renewed as going by the service history its only ever had the pads changed in 29 years! I am going to fit the alloy wheels soon and am hoping to get some original mud flaps for him as that would be the icing on the cake. I want to get the bottom of the doors repaired and also the n/s front wing repaired or renewed then give the whole car a thorough polish as in areas its fading.
My rendition of the UNSC Warthog. I know purists are going to kill me for this but I had to do it lol. The custom weapons are from HCF Lego 3D Productions and the Marine Helmets are Hazels new Halo Marine Helmets. The perfect oppurtunity to build up a UNSC army! The base instructions for the warthog are from Legohaulic. Wow and I also just realized I spelled APPLICATION wrong lol. Im just going to take the easy way out on this one and leave it as is.
The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.
My last night in Marseille: it was a very reluctant goodbye, an emotional moment due to this moving sunset and the
fresh memories of the wonders I had the oppurtunity to admire on the natural reserve of the Frioul archipelago during my trip.
Frioul archipelago, Marseille (France).
The Frioul archipelago is the limestone shadow off the coast of Marseille and is made up of four islands: Pomègues, Ratonneau, If and Tiboulen.
Original floral species flourish in the site’s arid microclimate. In total, 200 plant species can be observed and some are protected. Many seabirds also flock to these islands including the yellow-legged gull or “gabian” in Occitan.
The sea bass farm on Pomègues island has been recognised as the number one organic farm in the world.
The archipelago is part of the Calanques National Park and is a protected site where you can experience the real Mediterranean.

"Last week was incredibly stressful for me. I'm sure you all know the drama that went down last week and it totally threw me off and made me incredibly tensed all week. But last week Dezmin Dykemyker stepped WAY out of line and she pushed me to the limit - I'm sick of her acting like she owns the damn place and she totally embarassed me both in her photo and at elimination when she got a higher place than me despite what she did. This time, its time for me to get my full revenge...
So, we found out that we were gonna go to Las Vegas this week which was super exciting as I've never been before but also the fact that it was the perfect oppurtunity to humiliate Dezmin! We found out as soon as we landed that we were going to all be walking in a Vages-inspired fashion show challenge. I was the last to hit the catwalk - right after Dezmin - and I had the pleasure of standing next to her heiness as she constantly moaned and complained about her outfit and makeup. What she didn't know was that I loosend the buckle on one of her stilettos right before she was about to hit the stage. As Dezmin had walked down the runway and was returning she 'suddenly' slipped and fell flat on her face. Being the professional model I was, I HAD to keep the show going and proceeded with the fashion show despite Dezmin lying on the catwalk like a squashed bug.
Deadless to say, I won the catwalk challenge and totally impressed the designer that were sat in the front rows! However, Dezmin? Not so much."
Sorry about this being a little late! I hope thats okay?
CALLED: 05/07
Went along to Brighton last night to get some pikkies but decided to throw myself down some stairs along the seafront and sprain my ankle instead lol.
But thanks to the power of embarrasement I got up after landing on my tripod and camera bag and quickly hobbled off with my wife fussing over me with worry.
Anyway no wanting to waste the oppurtunity of getting some pictures I carried on getting a few shots I'm really happy with.
This was taken in the play park which my daughter was playing in using the playpool to get a slightly wobbly but cool reflection.
The sun had gone down but there was still some nice colour left in the sky.
I flipped the image to put the reflection at the top to give a sureal feel to this shot.
Also thanks to my flickr contact photojunket for his advice on using the high pass filter as I had my settings way too high which oversharpened my pictures.
i have played with the settings being more moderate and as you can see the effect is much more natural and pleasing in this picture.
Thank you for all your amazing comments and support on my pictures, you are all great.

Un tralcio che spadroneggia su un campo di grano..simboli di abbondanza, di vita, di comunione.
Davanti ad un campo di grano che ondeggia al sole mi sono sempre emozionata...davanti ad un vigneto con i filari ben allineati mi emoziono...sono "langarola" solo di adozione ma sono grata alla Langa che mi offre ogni giorno l'oppurtunità di emozionarmi!
I've never really realised how awesome Hangry is and how lucky i am to have her <3 she's almost at the brink of breaking her knee, but she's so gorgeous :DDb
There was gorgeous lighting today, and Kumiko couldn't pass up on an oppurtunity like this one! You can see how awesome her hair colour is, and, i admit - everyone needs atleast one Hangry.... ;DDb
I'd also love to thank everyone for the recent feedback on my photos, it means alot and my dolls are flattered *waves*
The Silverback design is by Legohaulic and then converted by myself with a little Pecovam style. -And yes Tyler, I still have the original model on my shelf:-), this is one I built with the instructions.
-Yes I did cut, paint, mod, glue, and make blood effects on my COG Silverback. Custom LEGO is about artistic development not leaving closed doors of oppurtunities to make things look the way we like them too. I hope you enjoy the photo.
my good friend and his girl are opening up a new space, I was fortunate enough to take the oppurtunity to throw down on this cutty painted brick wall. I had alot of fun and laughs with the crew painting this one, and some how managed to use white in all aspects of my piece(3D, fill, outline ect.) on a white background. show up then blow up!
this is the only time shes not ducking away from the cam as she only has eyes for.. her eyes n stuff o_O
Quicksilver Ind. produces top of the notch firearms made for easy and cheap mass production, while maintaining very high quality. Our firearms will always be fully ambidextrous, two toned, operator-friendly and accessory-friendly.
This baby is designed to give the operator an oppurtunity to use high rate of fire with low recoil and to switch calibers within the time less than a minute.
This one has an attached QSI Variable RDS, making it even more accurate and deadly.
If you are looking for a lightweight universal bullpup - this thing is your weapon of choice.

This shot was taken during my trip to Maine.I enjoyed the sunset on the very same place before the previous night.Unfortunately my battery drained and couldnt take any shots of sunset.But i didnt get disappointed after getting this sunrise oppurtunity.
As my friend Shilpa suggested in my previous upload,i did use higher F stop here to get more from the scene.My first sunrise upload.As promised previously,i delivered here.
Shot taken using Nikon D60 and Nikon 55-200mm VR lens.
Let me know how you feel about this shot.

Heheh, originally I wanted to give a "thought track" to each one of them, but I didn't want to bore you, so there's just a random thing I thought up, hihi :p
I had the idea of taking a "Dal Family Photo" and also a Pullip one, so here's the one I took yesterday :DD I am sorry for all of the imperfections in it, but as you guys know, I am not the best group-shot-photographer and all, so ye :3 I suppose I shall be taking the Pullip one pretty soon ^_____^
As you can tell, my favourites really are Dals, soooo I will use this oppurtunity to tell any of you non-Dal-owners to fuggin get out there and buy one, haha! Srsly, they're sooooooo fudgin' adorabubble :33
Also, lil monsters, put your paws up for Hair! (''')(''') ♥
Full frame image no crop and at ISO 1250, after photographing the Fieldfare in the countryside on friday and saturday my wife informed me two birds were showing well in the garden so who would miss an oppurtunity like this to photograph these beautiful migrant visitors.
Many thanks to all who view and make comments on my photostream.
