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
A portrait shot of a Nuthatch with a sunflower seed in it's bill.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
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.
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.....

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.

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.
A Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) poses in a meadow in Virginia. I tried something slightly different for this photo. Instead of cropping the bird close and going for a portrait shot, I kept the bird in the bottom right corner of the frame and minimized cropping. My goal with this shot was to show the bird much smaller in the frame than usual and have it stand out against the out-of-focus brush in the background.
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’.

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.

I never think portrait shots work on Flickr, but here goes :-)
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.

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.
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 ...
Portrait shot from ribblehead. Wasn't quite so sure which one I liked the best. Deffinate re visit when the sky is a bit more interesting but the morning light was very nice.
Koby is as bright as a button and is the son of Andrew & Stacey Hammond. Andrew is my brother's second son and these shots were taken at our farewell party before we returned to the UK.

A Portrait shot of the beautiful Maratus neptunus (Peacock Jumping Spider).This is a 3x shot focus stack. Shot with 5dmk2 and Mpe 65mm macro lens.
Zoomed in here for a portrait shot, since such nice feather detail to be seen here. I will post other shots of this fine owl, stay tuned. I was pleased to find this owl staring at me yesterday afternoon as I walked. Judging from the red on the beak, a meal may have occurred shortly beforehand. I stood and took some shots for just a minute or so, and did not disturb the bird from its perch, we quietly observed one another, and I moved on.
