Another portrait shot from our trip to the Bioparc in Valencia, Spain, back in 2014. This Gorilla looked deep in thought.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
The sky was on fire and I was allowed to witness - a truly spectacular show.
It took so long that I had time to take a series of portrait shots. I later merged them into a panorama in GIMP.
I wish a great weekend to everyone.
Der Himmel stand in Flammen und ich durfte Zeuge sein - ein wahrlich spektakuläres Schauspiel.
Es dauerte so lange, dass ich Zeit hatte eine Reihe von hochkant Aufnahmen zu machen.
Später fügte ich Sie in GIMP zu einem Panorama zusammen.
Ich wünsche allen ein schönes Wochenende.
This shot has a story to it…a group of wild Zebra came down from the mountain while we were staying on a farm in Montagu, this one came very close to our bungalow. I grabbed my camera, ran out the back door and proceeded to crawl on my hands and knees through the bushes, over the dirt road, all the while making sure I was downwind because if it had caught my scent it would have fled, for sure…I found a position as close as I dared to get a good portrait shot of it and when I popped my head up my camera was ready for it looking at me….I could feel its hesitancy even fear but because I didn’t move an inch, it let me observe it for quite some time before it got edgy, it was an unbelievable feeling to be so close to it while it was sniffing the air and flaring its nostrils…a moment I will never forget
Random photo in the Moscow park "Hermitage". The girl about what was noticed sitting in the hay. I guess she ate all the sweets from the bucket, got her hands dirty and she doesn't know what to do with it ... or maybe one bucket of sweets is not enough :)
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.
Going back through the images I took on this windswept damp day out this week, I think I prefer the landscape shot of this scene to the portrait image I posted earlier. Although the light was better in the portrait shot I think this gives a better impression of this location and its setting on the bleak foothill moorlands.
So I decided to give it an airing! The forecast is looking promising for next week with some snow and a bit of light heading our way. So I hope to get back out into the Lakes and Dales in better conditions and tick off some of my "yet to do locations"!!
This handsome Goldfinch even lingered awhile for a solo portrait. Shot quite close and without a cover, it was quite exceptional in my experience.

The Bullfinch is one of Britain’s most beautiful small resident birds. Here I was pleased to capture a portrait shot of the male. Bullfinch are rarely seen on their own, so, when a colourful male is spotted, the less colourful female will inevitably be nearby. In Autumn and Winter they will often form small groups.
I love to see them, whatever the time of year. They are guaranteed to put a smile on my face !
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.
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
A portrait shot of the glossy ibis that has taken up residency in Slimbridge village on land belonging to the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust.
Pilings at Leesylvania State Park. This is the boat launch and dock area. It`s also a seagull waiting for a portrait shot. #LeesylvaniaStatePark #park #pilings #dock #BoatLaunch #pieux #parc #杭 #TheBird
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.....

7 portrait shots.
This shows the extent of the flood waters that pass through this field and hence the footbridge used to access the church.
Have been trying out processing in Luminar 4 and have found it very impressive.
Taking a bit of getting to know ones way around.
probably the last of my shots of Horsey Windpump I'll post from my recent Norfolk trip. I have no illusions that it's unique but it is from the less photographed side. Sunrise having happened I walked down the road from the National Trust tea Room to a field access where this view was possible. Again the wind was too much to get a great reflection but this viewpoint does at least give you a view of all the sails.
This is actually a 2 portrait shot pano to get a little more width in and cropped to a 4:5 ratio
I wasn't initially sure about posting this one but whilst it's not jot a great sky or great light I decided it was worth and creates a sort or triptych with the other 2 of the Windpump.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend. I went to shoot snowdrops today but not sure if I got anything I like enough to post - time will tell!

This is Rifle Falls viewed from high by using the easy to follow trail.
You really need a wide angle to capture this, I don’t have, so I did it the hard way by taking multiple portrait shots and then combining them. An advantage of going early in the morning is no people in the scene.
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.
Snowy Egret that is! I was not focused on this species nor was I expecting to get such a close shot. I was attempting to photograph terns in a dive bomb a they were hunting for fish, when this Snowy Egret flew in to the salt marsh. I was laid out flat on the sod bank, and did not move a muscle as I was afraid to scare the bird. He gave me some nice close-up and portrait shots before wandering off in search of food. This is one of those shots. Please view large for best Snowy experience.
It is Wednesday. Thank you for stopping by~!
Portrait shot of this almost prehistoric looking bird!
Taken on a stroll around the UQ University Lakes.
A little girl with a ponytail is seen and captured while enjoying her refreshing cold soft drink, which her grandmother bought for her at a neighborhood convenience store.
Taken at a village in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
A young lady-seller sitting near a convenience store's small window looks smilingly and directly into my camera as I tried again to get her portrait photo.
Not knowing who I was, she covered her face with her hand when I made my initial attempt right after I noticed her. To allay her fears, I told her later in a few words the reason why I take photos of some people who I find interesting and what I do with them.
Captured in Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
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............
Another portrait shot pulled from a much larger image. The zoom in has made it impossible for this finished work to be expanded or seen any larger than it is, without losing resolution. So in a sense these 5 images, all derived the same way, if printed, would probably end up being smaller pieces, miniatures by comparison.

Recently I've been spending time photographing this summer visitor. I've been trying to get inflight shots of them skimming for fish. So far I have not been able to get any images the make the grade. They are fast and maneuverable fliers!
For now, here's a portrait shot.
I'll keep working on the action images!
Portrait shot of a hot looking Common Scaly-foot Legless Lizard (Pygopus lepidopodus) found active at dusk on a xeric sandplain vegetated with mallee/heathland straddling the Vic/SA border in southern Oz.
The Impala is the most common African antelope species out of them all but is renowned for getting that perfect portrait shot of them before they scamper off! Known as the “McDonald’s” of the bush for their black and white “M-shaped” markings on the bum, it is the only animal you just can’t miss while on a safari.
Photographed at Hluhluwe game reserve, South Africa
One of many images that I never got around to posting. This one was on my To Do List. I loved the look of the eyes and the face in this portrait 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.
Portrait Shot of a Blackbird through mirrored glas. It still reacted on the slightest niose we made when moving position a bit.
I was lucky enough to get one of these sceptic stares.
During my last trip in China, I tried to take as much portrait shots I could. However, it's always a little bit difficult to ask, and when people agree, you don't want to disturb them too much, so you have to be super effective and you can only take 2-3 pictures before saying "thank you" and letting them go. It was a very good exercise anyway ...
Here is a violonist that was playing in the little alley of Ciqikou, the ancient town of Chongqing ...
