Was waiting with my brother (the subject) to board a bus for camp and decided to try for a silhouette typed shot since I figured him just standing there in the doorway presented a perfect oppurtunity.

Focal length : 32mm

Aperture : f/4.8

Shutter : 1/160sec

ISO : 400

*Comments and criticism most welcome!*

On a stormy and ice-cold evening under the moonlight we took the oppurtunity to do some rallying on a frozen lake. It was just beautiful.

SOOC.

I thought this was worthy of a re-post as I have just received an e-mail from the Natural History Museum about my entry to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. Unfortunately, I didn't make the finals however I did reach the semi-finals which i'm pretty chuffed with especially as there were over 32,000 entries!!

It may not be a winner but its nice to know i'm heading in the right direction.

"I had been in Canada for 3 weeks and had tried frantically to photograph a Bald Eagle to no avail. An oppurtunity presented itself from a small boat around Vancouver Island. My persistence paid off and I finally captured this amazing bird taking flight."

My personal favourite. My good friend Lindsay Harris drew these next few pictures in her prayer journal and I got the oppurtunity of being the first one to see some of them, they were way too amaing to pass up and not share.

Thanks for checking them out!

P.S. I think her hands add a touch to the photo.

Taken from the backseat of my cab, this is the very first shot of my recent trip to Kolkata.

Kolkata, my home town, with its age, variety and culture provides enormous oppurtunities for street shots. On my 2 weeks stay, I visited some of the places in the town which are an absolute delight for street and candid photographers.

So keep following my phtoostream for some of the glimpses of Kolkata as I have seen it. Hope you will enjoy them :-)

A rare oppurtunity as Marvin seldom has his photograph taken.

A cherished project of mine to capture and document the life by the gigantic river Brahmaputra that enters India in the north-eastern frontier state of Arunachal, travels through Assam and has its confluence with the ocean in Bengal.

I have been having discussions with quite a few eminent who have been born an brought up on the banks of this river. I have just started the project as I my work has started taking me to Dibrugarh University where I have become a catalyst to empower the youth of Assam. It is a blessing.

First of the dancers who have been kind to participate are two students, Sattriya dancers, from centre of performing arts at DU - Bhagyashree Senapati and Purasmita Bordoloi; Also I had an oppurtunity to capture.a bunch of youth who do their physical training on the banks of Brahmaputra, The fishermen's village that lives on Brahmaputra

Wimborne Minster, Wimborne, Dorset

King Edward was murdered 18th March 978, son of King Edgar who was crowned by St Dunstan.

He was only king for 4 years.

Elfrida his stepmother had made several attempts on his life so that her son, Ethelred could succed.

Whilst out on the chase near Corfe Castle, where Elfrida lived, the young king decided to pay her a visit unannounced and with out his bodyguard or retinue.

Elfrida on receiving him gave him refreshment in the grace cup (probably poisoned) whilst a servant took the oppurtunity to stab him in the back. Falling from his horse his foot became trapped in the stirrup and he was dragged for someway until he died. His body was found and interred in Wareham.

This scenes shows the moment of his murder

Tom Hall played at Harvest Sessions on Saturday, October 20 from 10:00 a.m. until noon. Harvest Sessions is presented by KDHX Community Media, The Whitaker Foundation and Tower Grove Farmers' Market and takes place every Saturday at the West Pool Pavilion in Tower Grove Park for the duration of Tower Grove Farmers' Market's regular season. Tom Hall has been performing for over twenty years and has won national and local acclaim for his exceptional blues guitar work. Harvest Sessions is free and open to the public.

Tom Hall has played in countless bands, but his solo performances truly capture audiences. He wanders through the sounds of Argentina, Ireland and Africa, but he always returns to his musical roots. When he is playing Mississippi-inspired blues, he shines like his signature National guitar. If you have not yet seen Hall play live, don't miss this oppurtunity to catch one of St. Louis' most talented artists.

The 2007 inaugural season of Harvest Sessions has featured great concerts from local and regional performers. With Tower Grove Farmers' Market as the backdrop, Harvest Sessions also hosted an International and Children's Series that proved very popular in the community. KDHX Community Media, The Whitaker Foundation and Tower Grove Farmers' Market are proud to sponsor this free concert series on Saturday morning.

Old stove decorated with containers of white mums. Lots of photo oppurtunities in this store and so far no one has said anything.

Day 2 of our diving adventures began on dive site 777, followed by Tuna Alley. Our first oppurtunity to spear the invasive Lion Fish as well, there are many videos to go with this set of photos. An amazing day, started with a fantastic breakfast cooked on board.

Nex got the oppurtunity to try out a full-blown (see what I did there) trombone! Sadly he didn't bring along any friends this time, so extending the big tube thing while simultaneously blowing in the mouthpiece was a little difficult. Also I have no idea what the correct terms for horn-instrument-related things are so forgive me if I used some dumb words in that description.

While on my trip to visit Stonehenge, Salisbury is just down the road. So I took the oppurtunity to pay a visit. I would recommend the ecellent park & ride bus serveice, which drtops you right in the heart of the city.

Taken at the start of the womens tour 2014 in Oundle, Unfortunatley (or fortunatly dependant of your view point) I got stuck in a traffic jam due to the rolling road closures for 20min, so took the oppurtunity to grab the camera and get some shots as they passed by

Went into the studio this past week while my good friends in Sundown (ex Semi Fiction) recorded their new tracks. Used this oppurtunity to get some photographs and asked Jamie to get a quick headshot.

The tracks are sounding massive.

I met Hakim aka Pemburu Cinta, one half of Sampah Masyarakat (literally means Dregs of Humanity, I think...) while on a photoshoot in downtown KL. Here he is pictured with Nazri. I bumped into him from time to time sans camera, so I take this oppurtunity for a qwik snapshot then he was away. There will be a "proper" session soon *winks*

Strobist info:

A Nikon D3 with 24-70 zoomy f2.8 lens at the wide end, hence the distortion

3 Nikon SB unit on Triflash bracket at half power each in manual setting, bounced to an 42 inches umbrella, a VAL was huffing and puffing away holding the whole set up...

For his 18th Birthday we gave Michael something he had wanted for years- the oppurtunity to drive a Supercar!!! In fact several- we gave him an 'Ultimate Supercar and Rally Driving Experience'. To say he enjoyed in is an understatement!!

After the viewer has become more acustom to the object I am using, I have the oppurtunity to be more experimental with the image, a good example of this is the television image. I simply zoomed in on the metal area of the floppy to gain a static like texture.

Our cousin Sophie made her choice. She felt in love with that odd yellow car of her uncle and aunt. Every oppurtunity she had she got into that car and her aunt Marjolein could walk. Sophie now knows every details of the car. Maybe when she is a year of 18? The porsche 914 club will enjoy a new clubmember?

At the moment I can't get enough of high contrast black and white and today whilst shooting with my friends Jordan Green and Danny Land I had the oppurtunity to shoot with an 85mm 1.8 lens which is amazing for shallow D.O.F and capturing these microcosms in the woods.

I have a Tumblr now.

Help-Portrait, a global initiative that brings photographers, hairstylist, and makeup artist together to use their skills to give back to those in need. This year Help-Portrait Las Vegas partnered with the U.S. Vets center in downtown Las Vegas to work with homeless veterans on the path to recovery to

capture their portraits and share their stories. These are some of my favorites from the day.
