Always did love the fierce look in photos. I don't know why. Probably because it's so different to how I am in person perhaps.

The tree pipit (Anthus trivialis) like this one, was one of the first birds I photographed and registered after buying better bird photography gear and getting even more interested in birds 4.5 years ago.

Although it is common in most of Norway, I have only seen and photographed it that first time, once more some months later, and then not until June this year when I took this photo.

It can be distinguished from the similar but slightly smaller meadow pipit (heipiplerke in Norwegian), by its heavier bill and greater contrast between its buff (yellowish-beige coloured) breast and white belly.

Tree pipits also more readily sit in trees, has a stronger call and a different and nicer song than the meadow pipit.

They winter in tropical Africa and return to their breeding grounds in May.

This Rapido Amaryllis has given me so much pleasure over the last few weeks.

I had to be in work early today due to the building having it's power shut off, I thought I'd watch the sunrise from rooftop. The power was off inside, but a great show unfolded in the sky. This is 4 shots stitched together to create this panoramic sunrise shot.

I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.

Our smallest breeding Hirundine species, being about a third smaller than both House Martin and Swallow. Very very fast in flight, took about 20 shots before I got this one.

Then the third lion lift its head and looking at me as to ask…Okay are you happy now?…

I did not answer him :-((

They a little later they made a unsuccessful attempt to hunt and almost chased a Blue wildebeest strait through my bakkie.

It happened just to fast for me to get the bakkie at the right spot to capture any thing.

Working on the Rule of Thirds to get more dynamic photos. I normally don’t think about composition. I just more the camera until I like the picture. Maybe a more deliberate approach is called for.

Third Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington

Taken last week on a beautiful #misty autumn morning. I caught the sunbeams through his antlers to produce this star effect.

I will be at Duckpond market in Heron square next to #Richmond Bridge this Sunday from 10.30-5ish. Come along for signed prints and books.

Prints of this and others are available on www.alexsaberi.smugmug.com click link in profile.

Doing this as an assignment in composition, demonstrating Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Negative Space and Background Separation. (thanks to a very cooperative White-breasted nuthatch).

The rule of thirds is the first compositional rule most photographers learn; but most don't know why they learn it. The rule of thirds is amazing for telling a story.

I took a photo of this bird cleaning its beak with fresh snow before swooping back down again to get bird seeds from the ground.

And my third and final outfit in this fun little shoot. This was another skirt I shortened, that very same morning along with the grey pleated school skirt.

It was a satin midi skirt, but I never wore it because I have a number of faux leather skirts in the same style that I much prefer.

So, I thought a nice little skater skirt could be made out of it instead. It's guaranteed to get more wears that way ;-)

As with the grey skirt, I went for a length just under 14". I could have gone shorter, but I think this is a more appropriate length for wearing out when the pubs open again.

I photographed John for the third time today (hence the very original title). I had stopped to show him the last picture I took of him, but he interrupted me to ask me if I would take a picture of his brother too. I said I would be happy to. "Yeah, he's got a good face. He's got a beard." That said, I told John that I absolutely HAVE to get a picture of John and his brother together. More to come, I hope.

New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) R179 no. 3161 (Bombardier, 2016-2019) is the lead motor on a 168th St-bound C train, seen here stopped at its third to last stop: 155th St Station on the IND 8th Avenue Line.

I deleted my earlier post from White Pocket to do a little more work on it, so I decided to upload this image from South Coyote Buttes. I uploaded an image with my wife and I in the picture earlier, but this is my "artsy" version. Hope you enjoy!

This is not the famous "wave" in North Coyote Buttes, that is so difficult to get a permit to, but is an area in the Cottonwood Cove Area of South Coyote Buttes, only accesible by 4wd. Just about anyone can get here with a good 4x4 and the permits are much easier to get. I have never been to the actual wave due to constant strike outs in the permit system, but this is a nice place much like it (I assume) in the South Coyote Buttes area a mile or so away from the North Buttes.
