The process of creating a pencil portrait of a girl..Old Arbat in Moscow - the street of artists, musicians and poets..On the Old Arbat draw wonderful artists who,
competing with each other, improve their skills in the portrait genre from year to year.
Drawing a portrait is both a show and an attraction and art at the same time. Here the artist must have the knowledge, vast experience, patience, hard work and of course talent in order to solve many creative tasks in extreme conditions in a short time. A portrait painter who paints on the street must choose an appropriate angle for this model taking into account the lighting at a certain time of day and, having achieved an absolute external similarity of the drawing to the original, try to convey the mood, character and inner world of the person. Plus, a self-respecting artist must take care that the portrait drawing looks like a finished work of art.
As I usually post portrait shots of my cats I thought I should show you a capture of Linus in all his considerable fluffiness for a change. As Fynn has more or less lost interest in the autumn leaves in the garden by now, Linus can claim them all for himself and he is very happy. Playing with the leaves doesn't stop him from having an eye on THE BIRDS, though.
I have problems with my internet connection at the moment. There are only a few websites I can actually reach and surprisingly Flickr is one of them. I suspect that my internet connection will break down completely sooner or later, so if I suddenly disappear this is the reason. The internet provider will have to send a technician and that can take a while.
One of my favourite pano's I took over a couple of hours here. I don't know what the pink flowers are in that little dip but it was too early for thrift ? In some other shots further along the Bluebells were out but looking a bit battered....
The Rumps is a twin-headland promontory at the north-east corner of Pentire Head in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The promontory is formed from hard basaltic rock and projects north into the Atlantic Ocean. Its headlands lie east-to-west.

Longer panorama way back in my gallery and showing an earlier but wider view can be seen if you click on the link below:)
Portrait shot of a cormorant. This one stood out to me because it appears to be missing half of its upper bill.
I immediately started wondering whether or not it would even be able to survive with this handicap. That question got answered when I saw it pick a fish out of the water a bit later on.
A portrait shot of a tree swallow staring intensely at the photographer. This is a similar shot to my recently posted Barn Swallow image as they are both perched on the boardwalk railing at John Heinz NWR. I was basically at the minimum focusing distance my lens would allow, about 5 feet, when I clicked the shutter. You can see how shallow the dof is by looking at the one inch line of focus on the boardwalk rail. Everything else is blown-out. View large for tree swallow detail.
Enjoy the day ~!
This handsome Goldfinch even lingered awhile for a solo portrait. Shot quite close and without a cover, it was quite exceptional in my experience.

Portrait shot of a northern gannet. For the first time ever I was nearly too close. Taken from the back of the boat while on a trip around Les Sept-Iles, Brittany, France.
This was taken at bempton cliffs, I love the colouring inside that beautiful beak and couldn't resist this shot
We regularly have visiting foxes in our garden.
This one stayed long enough for me to capture a shot through the window.
See the link below to see what happened 3 days later, in the early evening.....

Little Eagle Portrait. I have only seen these birds flying, and usually high, was lovely to capture a portrait shot
Baby squirrels are really curious and some of them are not shy at all. This is Trick and he came as close as about one meter (Squirrels-2020-9070.jpg)
Kirkenes Panorama taken with 24 Portrait shots (750MB RAW file)
Kirkenes [ˈçirkəˌnɛːs] (Finnish: Kirkkoniemi, Kven: Kirkkoniemi, Northern Sami: Girkonjárga, Russian: Киркенес) is a town in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, in the far northeastern part of Norway. The town lies on a peninsula along the Bøkfjorden, an arm of the large Varangerfjorden. The main church for Kirkenes is Kirkenes Church, located in the Haganes area of the town.
The 2.15-square-kilometre (530-acre) town has a population (2013) of 3,498; which gives it a population density of 1,627 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,210/sq mi). When the neighbouring suburban villages of Hesseng, Sandnes, and Bjørnevatn are all included with Kirkenes, the urban area reaches a total population of almost 8,000 people.
The area around Kirkenes was a common Norwegian–Russian district until 1826, when the present border was settled. The original name of the peninsula was Piselvnes ("Pis River headland"), but this was changed to Kirkenes (meaning "church headland") after the Kirkenes Church was built here in 1862.
Kirkenes is located in the extreme northeastern part of Norway on the Bøkfjorden, a branch of the Varangerfjorden, which is a vast bay connected to the Barents Sea near the Russian–Norwegian border. The town is situated about 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
Unlike the vast majority of Norway, Kirkenes is located east of the neighbouring country of Finland. Because of this, travelling directly west from Kirkenes actually changes the time zone forward instead of backward, as it usually does. Travelling directly east from Kirkenes (into Russia) changes the time zone forward by an hour in summer, but by two in winter. When Russia implemented permanent daylight saving time between 2011 and 2014, there was a three-hour difference travelling forward from the eastern part of the municipality to westerly Russian areas during winter. It also shares time zones with Galicia in Spain, in spite of a solar time difference of 2½ hours.
One can drive 100 kilometres (62 mi) south, and walk 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), into the Øvre Pasvik National Park, reaching the border point of the three countries (Muotkavaara), where the three time zones meet. There are only a few such places in the world. It is forbidden, according to both Norwegian and Russian law, to circumambulate the border marker, as the only lawful route across the Norwegian–Russian border is at the border control at Storskog.
Kirkenes is located just east of the 30th meridian east. As a result, it is further east than Istanbul, which marks one of the European borders with Asia. The easternmost point of Norway and the municipality is also at a point further east than Saint Petersburg. Kirkenes is also several meridians east of the Gulf of Bothnia.

Musician during a performance on the stage of the Crocus Expo exhibition complex in Sokolniki. Moscow. Russia. NAMM Music Messe.
The artist behind the instrument - Laptop Conga - a hybrid, desktop instrument that reproduces warm, woody tones of the Congo and has the added bonus of portability. In fact, it is a small box measuring 76.2 x 292 x 495.3 mm, which comfortably "sits" on the lap of the performer, while the included belt with length adjustment reliably holds it in place. In addition, it can be played standing with the help of the same belt, only fastened to the belt. The acoustic uniqueness lies in the fact that it produces two completely different pitch, just like a pair of Congo does. This is achieved by creating two cameras with a carefully thought-out size, and together with a wooden case, rich sound and excellent projection are obtained.
Portrait shot of a really clean and cute Dwarf Burrowing Skink (Lerista timida). Shown here is an adult at a diminutive 65mm in total length that I raked up while the lizard was sheltering in the loose soil beneath a dense leaf-litter mat accumulated under a Gidgee Tree (Acacia cambagei). This tree was growing along a shallow, ephemeral watercourse, meandering through an arid and stony valley in the breakaway country around the township of Coober Pedy. Coober Pedy is located in central South Australia.
Most of the time when I rock up to a location and pick a composition I have a clear idea in my mind as to whether it will be a portrait shot or a landscape version. I do though try to remember the words of wisdom of one of the well known YouTube ‘Tog Gods’ (I forget which one) who said to shoot both orientations ‘just in case’. This is one such occasion when I’m really glad I remembered that advice.
A day of rain earlier in the week had washed away all vestiges of the snow and ice that had made my first day and a bit in Glencoe so wonderful. Fortunately, Google in the UK hasn’t been taken over by the Trumpland desire to rename things so I was able to pretty much pinpoint the location after comparing Streetview with a YT video. .
I got there just before golden hour and thought ‘portrait’ so set up accordingly. I shot several focus-stacked set of images through ‘golden hour’ but the location of the tree and the mountains around it were not going to keep it in shade. As sunset approached I could see some cloud in the distance but my location meant I had no idea if the cloud was down to the horizon or not. I thought it likely it was but just as I was about to pack up I thought I saw the barest touch of colour in some high level clouds. It was too late to change locations and I had plenty of time before dinner so I thought I’d hang around and see if anything happened.
Well I think it’s readily apparent that something did happen! For between 5 and 10 mins the sky coloured up more and more. So with a smile on my face I shot several series of portrait focus-stacked sets of images. Then the ‘words of wisdom’ came to me and I changed to landscape.
I’ve decided to post both versions because I am genuinely torn as to which I prefer. I like the foreground rocks in the portrait image but also the wider aspect in the Landscape version. I’m genuinely curious to hear what you as an audience think? www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/54329447924/in/datepo...
I do feel guilty in being so haphazard in commenting on posts. I’m struggling to even find the time to edit so I think I need to rethink my daily ‘schedule’.

Last one from Royal William Yard, and a simple portrait shot of the yard and the little boat that is often moored up here in the harbour.
I don't think I've ever seen this boat not in its moorings so whoever owns it mustn't get out on it much, but that's good for us photographers as it adds a little bit of extra interest to our photos.
I hope you've enjoyed these shots, considering they were all taken from pretty much the same spot it's amazing how many different shots I managed to get that evening.

Portrait shot of a stunning adult female Elegant Velvet Gecko (Oedura elegans). A species only recently described in 2019, when it was split from the O. monilis complex.
I recently found her sheltering beneath exfoliated bark on the main trunk of a standing dead Acacia tree. The immediate habitat was open brigalow woodland on a compacting, red-soil plain to the north of the town of Augathella. Augathella is located in southern inland Queensland.
It was a privelidge and a pleasure to see and photograph this very beautiful lizard.
Portrait shot of this almost prehistoric looking bird!
Taken on a stroll around the UQ University Lakes.
Two portraits shots panorama in autobraking (0Ev; -2Ev; +2Ev) processed as HDR with Darktable. The panorama was processed with Enfuse. Additional improvements by means of plugins like Tone Curve, Highpass filters, Lowpass filters, Channel Mixer, Global Tone Map, and others were managed also with Darktable.
Finally, a personalized Orton effect and few Dodge and Burn retouches were applied.
This was the final spot where I decided not to go further up, although it is possible to walk further along the rim to the top. You can see the tiny and steep path going up on the right of the picture.
But it started to get late and i wasn't sure if there was more to see up there.
This paorama shot is a stitch of 8 portrait shots, and gives a nice impression of another fantastic overview.
And turning around 180 degrees give more fantastic views............
My Grandson Connor is 2 and a half years old and a ham for the camera. I was trying to capture him playing with bubbles. When he saw that I had my camera he stuck his face right up into it, funny, made me laugh.
"Wonderful portrait shot of Connor, the face with open eyes, seems to observe the entire world in a state of joy."
"I love your description Mooky!! Hopefully that outlook on life will continue for awhile and not get tainted by us adults pushing our adult ideas and ways on him."
Over the years, I have shot many full moon shots in the night sky, but that eventually became tiring. These days, I prefer to try to capture either a moon rise or its setting, hopefully with something else interesting in the image. I presented a photo from this setting in landscape mode, called "Beautiful Evening", a couple of weeks ago.
One of the very interesting books on composition, that I had read, suggested to take portrait shots at the same time as one does landscape ones, so I got into the habit of doing that. This photo, in portrait mode, was taken on the same evening, just as I noticed the moon. It is about 4 minutes earlier then my previous posting, and the sun had just set minutes before.
The image is not cropped, with only minor post processing to remove a few sensor spots.
Taken at Jones Lake in Moncton, NB, Canada on 7 August 2017.
Another portrait shot of Ricky our Grand Cat. His goatee reminds me of Maynard from the old Dobbie Gillis show decades ago.
Greater green leafbird (Female) - Portrait shot , leafbird usually perch and hide between leafs and vegetation and never keep still but this female was so friendly that she perch still for awhile and open for us to capture a nice shot.
Portrait shot ....the last in this set of Jackdaw who visited my balcony!
Many thanks for your comments and faves. I really appreciate it - deaR ♥‿♥
Portrait shot of a juvenile Peregrine Falcon.
To say I got lucky this day was an understatement. After watching the parents do food passes to the young I couldnt believe my luck when the young falcon landed on the cliff top some 5 metres from where I was stood on the footpath.
A day I will never forget.
Many thanks as always to everyone who takes the time to look, like and comment on my pictures its much appreciated.
