One from the Archives, actually I going throught shots to make up a Calender for one of our friends that are moving away from the area and says they'll miss seeing the mountains the most, so as I was going through looking for shots to use,I found thisone. My PS skills last April weren't good enough to do it justice, so I has kind of forgotten about it.
This was taken last April from out in my back pasture, We had gotten about 8" of snow overnite and the sky to the east was moving like crazy and looked like it could give me some nice oppurtunities. Well that didn;t pan out but as the pup and I we're walking back to the house this scene unfolded in front of me looking to the southwest.
Hope ya all have a great sunday.
A cup of coffe with two good old birding friends while the camera lay in the grass waiting for the oppurtunity. The Great tit feeds on seeds from the birdfeeder while taking a look at the werd thing laying there in the grass.
Another amazing custom set of armor from Hazel! All I can say is that these pieces are too much fun to paint! And for anyone out there who is a little hesitant, I assure you, atteempting to paint these extremely detailed pieces can only help to gain more skill! The armor is perfectly accurate as well as the backpack. The arms still move with the armor on even if you put BF vambraces on them as seen in my photos. The helmet speaks for itself and fits on perfectly and is very easy to get off. Not to mention the fact that Hazel has given everyone the oppurtunity to either leave the visor trans yellow, or paint it yourself. Great idea, and only extends the boundries of what these pieces can be used for. A must buy for any Hazel, Halo or custom lego fan for that matter! Keep an eye out for Pedro's post of when these become available in the coming days from his Bricklink store United Armory. Thanks Hazel, keep the awesome stuff coming!
Shot this on a complete impulse about an hour before sundown, cutting it fine is an understatement. I always find those are some of the best moments, though.
I have a lot of unwanted self doubt within myself and I think this image reflects that notion quite accurately. I enjoy every second of what I'm doing and am thankful I get the oppurtunity to do it as often as I like.
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!
In all the comotion of doing my exam, the flickrmeet and me playing with an iPad that isn’t kmine I completly neglected to show you my publication in Fonk magazine. My “Kabuki Scream” right on the frontpage and 4 pages of exposure of little old me ;-) So proud and so glad I got that oppurtunity. I wouldn’t mind getting more exposure ;-)

Hi everyone! I was away this weekend visiting family in St-Catharines, Ontario & got the oppurtunity to go out photographing. How wonderful it was to finally have something new to shoot...:))) This bird portrait was taken at the "Bird Kingdom" in Niagara Falls, Ontario. What a neat experience it was to have birds flying all over the place...free as can be.
Happy Monday everyone...will try & catch up with you all asap! :)
Had a slightly different idea for this shot but i had just gotten off work and didn't want to go to a sketchy ass alley at 1am in the morning with all my gear. So in keeping with murder/jason theme for today my little brother jumped at the oppurtunity to " "stab" me. This shot is straight out of camera besides some post process in lightroom, it was done all in one shot no compositing done.

Just a little MOC I threw together to showcase Brick Afflictions line of "Coalition" products all of which will soon be available. 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.

If the oppurtunity ever arises to visit Bodnant Gardens in North Wales then take it,the place is stunning
I have NEVER seen an Illinois Central SD70, and when I heard there was going to be not one, but TWO of them leading E251, I couldn't pass this oppurtunity up. Taken in Pontiac, Michigan.
Now this may not seem like a difficult shot , but this one, i guess was one of the hardest shots i took in 2006, the backlight was enormous, you know those after summer, low standing bright sunlight. It took me about 12 pictures to get this one right, with the mirror in the pool of water and the door opening not over exposed, i had to go as fast as 1/4000 ISO 100, f16 to really tighten the exposure. To get an idea of how this was like, i uploaded another image where you can see the image if it was just 0 EV and how much backlight there really was here. Imho this one really shows the power of HDR.
Shot at an abandoned part of Cockeril Sambre in Liege, one of the biggest iron industry plants.
BTW: CHEERS, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FLICKR FRIENDS!
2006 was an extremely succesfull year, i saw amazing things from oilplatforms to underground caves, castles to office buildings, and had great oppurtunities to shoot my stuff. I hope 2007 will be as good or even better for all of us!
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 :/
Hi guys !
I've uploaded all these 4 images in bulk as I got them all in one day, a busy one at that.
Next week I will be displaying some of my work for young kids as they wander around our sports hall with the interest of Biology, Physics and Chemistry. They will have to match up the photo to the insect infront of them, so it should be a lot of fun, and hence the many images I've uploaded all at once.
On a quick trip to some woodland by our university, I looked under some old rotten wood and stones finding Beetles, spiders, Larvae and some woodlice !
It gave for a great oppurtunity for some early Spring photographing and the quality with the £30 objective I have retained for all 4 specimens !
Got my Nikon M plan 5x ordered so should be here soon for even sharper images !

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！

Yes, four Red signals in a row, so eloquently displayed against the back drop of a beautiful Morning has broken Red Sky. Oh, what a wonderful World in which we live, we are so fortunate to have been given the oppurtunity to see God's wonderful creations. May all waring nations laydown there arms and expel the hatred in their hearts, so that the only Red that they see is of a beautiful morning or evening sky or beautiful Fall Colors and not of a red rage directed toward his fellow man and come to the relization that our time her is but a blink of an eye, why waste it in a rage of Red.

A few weeks ago national monuments were opened to the public. Since I live closeby to the Van Nelle factory, I thought that it would be a great oppurtunity to finally see this place. Unfortunately the terrain was way too crowdy for what I had in mind and the weather was pretty gray. The latter did not make the editing any easier. It feels like I didn't get the white balance right in any of my shots (more can be found on my website by clicking the link below).
Hola bella gente, si siamo qui a fare il nostro sporco gioco di raccogliere il fango gettato da altri e cercare di ritare su le sorti del paese, ci vorrebbe una bella "mischia", ma di quelle serie: nel rugby la mischia è una situazione di gioco che viene decisa dall'arbitro per riprendere il gioco quando esso è stato interrotto per qualche irregolarità (ad esempio un "passaggio in avanti involontario") e di passaggi in avanti iregolari ce ne sono stati a bizzeffe ultimamente!
Per chi come me è abituato a sporcarsi di fango non solo metaforicamente, spingere con forza contro un avversario che a sua volta fa di tutto per non farfare un passo in avanti a chi spera di conquistare centimentri preziosi è una regola d'oro!
Mi sento da "prima linea", quello che per intenderci guarda in faccio l'avversario e si confranta con lui su forza, astuzia, intelligenza; dietro spesso arrivano le seconde linee che danno forza al pacchetto stesso alla fine poi arrivano le terze linee, che in teoria dovrebbero dare forza e sostegno a tutto il pacchetto, poi...poi ci sono i trequarti, quelli che staccati dalla mischia organizzano il gioco, osservano la sequenza degli eventi e se ne vedono l'oppurtunità, partecipano al gioco e spesso si prendo l'onore di scattare e segnare anche la meta.
Meravigliosa metafora, chi spinge è chi suda chi mette la faccia contro qualcuno chi non le manda a dire le cose, chi sa osservare e capire i movimenti avversari, chi si prende le responsabilità di incontrare l'avversario vis a vis, senza compromessi, senza aspettare che qualcuno faccia il lavoro sporco per lui, sa che se ognuno avesse il carettere da prima linea le partite sarebbero molto diverse, sa che dalla sua azione dirompente dipende l'andamento della partita.
Certo in una partita servono tutti chi spinge chi organizza e chi approfitta delle situazioni....ma ultimamente, soprattutto nel nostro Paese il "tre quarti" è il ruolo preferito, in molti sanno approfittare delle situazioni, pochi sono quelli che mettono la "testa" in posti dove molti hanno paura anche a mettere le mani, e si sa, nella vita come nel rugby se manca un buon pacchetto di mischia la partita è persa a prescindere, le ali leggere agili e belle fanno la solita figura di spettatori e chi ci rimette le ossa sono sempre gli stessi, quelli che sanno guardare l'avversario negli occhi!
Viva i piloni, che siano d'esempio in questa difficile partita che la nostra misera italia sta conducendo, e che l'arbitro sia imparziale, perchè nel rugby l'arbitro non si discute mai, quindi o sappiamo spingere a dovere o si va a terra e si viene "asfaltati" dall'avversario, le prime linee ovviamente le ali usciranno sempre dal campo lindi e puliti come sempre....loro si sa, aspettano solo il momento buono.....e fanno sempre la loro bella figura!
hola!
To prove me wrong
Not gonna lie, this is really just an excuse to use this picture I took...a while ago, and never got to use. Welp, I've found a use. It's also a nice oppurtunity to do a proper bio of my version of the Doctor, as I never quite got round to it.
This is the kinda thing I'm looking for in an entry. Of course, you could trade in the companions for a couple of villains. Or make a Tardis console room and put your Doctor in that. Right, I'm babbling, so I'll skip to the description.
So, this Doctor, the one in my series, has just come out of the Time war. He is approximately 900-ish years old and is in his 9th incarnation. since regenerating, he has a new lease on life, even if he is plagued by the demons of the time war. They will fade, hopefully. He's a fairly cheerful chap, always with a smile on his face. Unless someone threatens those he cares about. Then his smile turns to a frown, and his eyes burn with the fury of a thousand suns. In the time war he saw many die. Friends, family, innocent bystanders. But no more. e will never let anyone close to him get hurt ever again.
So, that's that. Have fun coming up with your entries, I can't wait to see them :D
16.48: 2733 on the local train from Luchtbal.
Only a couple of passenger trains each day go around the curve to and from Luchtbal (rush hour specials).
This was the only oppurtunity for a passenger train on what is normally the freight lines.
Long since changed over to EMU stock, this loco service is now history.
2733 is still going strong in 2020 when I loaded this photo - but both the HLE 21s & 27s are due for withdrawal in 2023 and are not being fitted with ECTS.

Could the tide be any further out, could the sky be any grayer, could the cloud be any thicker. Light was none existent! But, i was on the beach with my camera, so I made the most of the oppurtunity!
First shot of the year and I wanted to use the key to symbolise the opening of a new year. Often people use this time of year as a starting point for new resolutions and other changes or pursuits that they wish to adopt come january 1st. So often we get caught in the same routine and hum drum but we all have the oppurtunity to make subtle changes, no matter whether you believe in resolutions or not. I am a believer in the Humanist perspective and the idea that you can open these doors and unlock your own potential if you have the desire and will to make the changes in your life.
Yes Zeesi, it does fit a figure and even one of mine....with room to spare. Here are the photos you requested:-)
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.

For ages now, on my way to work, I've looked at the redundant gasometer and thought I should really take some pictures of it before it's demolished. Like the Nestles chimney, its one of those Salisbury landmarks from my childhood, that's going to disappear soon. My evening trip to Waitrose to take pictures of the Baron, gave me the oppurtunity to take some pictures.
As most of you know given the oppurtunity I love taking captures as close as I can to the subject & then cropping out just their faces.
This pup obviously wasn't expecting me since he didn't get cleaned up for his photo shoot...lol!
Have a great Wednesday! ☼
A friend came over and took us her garden in the forest. There was lots of oppurtunity to play with my new camera!
The kitlens is quite OK. Even though it's only 18-55mm
I did almost drop my iphone in the water while bending over to make this picture
New Year's day. Rapsani.
The first day of 2010 at it's end, a whole fresh year full of oppurtunities and probabilities.
Take care people and have a great and creative new year! All the best...
Well... They say god resides in magnificient homes. So they built amazing temples, gorgeous churches, fascinating synagogues, inspiring mosques...all over the world. But are we not a bit stupid to think that God is too big to fit into one temple....or rather even one religion.
We search for god in all of these places.
Yet we find no peace in our hearts. Maybe its time to start searching elsewhere. In everyday life.
God may appear in front of us. But we don't seem to see it, because we are looking elsewhere. If only we took some time to appreciate moments where God presents itself... Life would be different.
I saw this reflection in the street in Salzburg, outside the Demel Cafe. The rain had left a puddle of water, and the stunning St. Rupert's Cathedral was reflected in it. This reflection brought me so much joy, that I hardly felt the need to go inside the actual cathedral.
Our life presents myriad oppurtunities to realzie godliness. Do we take the time to soak it in? Take a moment to reflect about this.
Photographed with Fujifilm Finepix F10, Point and Shoot Camera.
Once again a testament that we don't need great cameras or great locations to make nice photos.

Pictured is a still from a video I just caught at Willington Station in South Derbyshire on 26/02/20, of DRS/BR Large Logo livery 37403 propelling Network Rail Inspection Saloon 975025 'Caroline' on the 5Z02 (TBC but an eductated guess) Tamworth High Level to Derby RTC finale of its tour around the Midlands in the last few days. The train stopped at Willington to allow a staff member to alight as she lived in the village...allowing a golden window of oppurtunity, as the train was stopped when I pulled up and duly departed as I ran under the underpass!

Found this guy at 1:30P in my parent's backyard. What a treat, only my second time seeing one and my first oppurtunity to get a photograph
Image is taken after the sun had set....been awhile I had an oppurtunity to work something out at night.
Just love the reflected smoke from the distance factory....

I'm heading off to college! Probably won't be posting for a while, so I just wanted to say thanks to y'all giving me the oppurtunity to share some of my art over the course of three years.
Have not have an oppurtunity to get out with the camera for a while, just shot this out my window for something to post.
Dark overcast skies so it's a little grainy.
Good news is that this Friday i am heading to Crater Lake for a full day of shooting with some stops for waterfall shots also.
Start looking for the pic's on Saturday, that way i can give you all a rest from my hummer shots.
Having the oppurtunity to do a Ninjago MOC, I had to include a dragon. This is similar to the Wu dragon, but with some blue accents to give it an elemental feel.

This first trip to Glacier NP was in late summer of 2015, when the whole state of Montana was on fire. Luckily it was a trip for visiting, and not for photos. Otherwise it would have been pretty disappointing. The smoke was so thick, you couldn't see anything. But, it did add a different feel to things, and forced you to notice the smaller details, rather than the bigger picture. But I'm more than ready to go back now, and check out the bigger picture! Lol
We drove through the night, and got to Flathead Lake just as the sun was coming up. Other than the morning we left, this was about the only time we actually got to see the sky. These aren't the best, most photogenic shots. But there were a few great oppurtunities, so these are the highlights.
Full moon taken a couple of hours before the eclipse. Thought I would have a practice run first :o)
Taken using two 2x telephoto converters on the 100-400 lens. No IS used.
edit: No luck with the eclipse....no red glow, and a touch of high level mist made for a disappointing phto oppurtunity :o(
yesterday i had the oppurtunity to meet up with an old friend and try some portrait stuff with a model other than me. i had alot of fun and hope to be able to so this more often
ik i just bought party yasmin but i am living for her and couldnt pass up another great oppurtunity to get her!
When I was in Harz, Germany I found a couple of these butterflies which was a first time for me. Not really spectacular or rare species but they have such a nice brown/white pattern, just had to have a nice capture of them. The weather wasn't great all the time so on the first oppurtunity with some decent light I went out.
Never noticed a butterfly turning his head, this one did and faced the camera several times.
It is never easy to grab a photo of North Yorkshire Police's traffic cars...... But every now and then an oppurtunity appears and has to be grabbed...... especially when one is parked on your workplace doorstep...... LOL
Along with a number of BMW traffic cars.... North Yorkshire also have a small number of Audi's such as this one. They also have some saloon versions but I believe they are used on ANPR work. YJ10HTD is an Audi A4 Avant Se Tdi Quattro Estate, and is seen attending a 999 call in Harrogate Town Centre
She is a stunner.....
