Rediscovering off-season season
For several years I treated summer as off-season for wildlife photography. Cloudless sky and rage of middle-east sun took wind out sails of my motivation during summer months. This image, which I photographed at August, changed my mind. I realized that even though the period of good light at sunset lasts minutes, cloudless sky guarantees that that light will be there day after day. All I had to do is to be ready at the right place at the right time. And then the magic can happen.

Great shot! Following you!
Thanks a lot!
Great photo! The warm light of the setting sun in contrast with the shady green background, the bush on the left and the rock on the right frame the gazelle beautifully. And the fact that they're looking at you makes the photo feel so alive. Love it!
I started following you a couple of days ago, as I really like your work. What settings do you use so the photo can be opened on a black background?
Thanks Paul! The photo is nicely balanced, indeed. I must confess it was coincidence and not my professionalism since this gazelle appeared suddenly and I've had only couple of seconds to remove the tripod from my shoulder (I was walking in the forest with long lens attached to tripod) and take this picture without spending time on precise framing.
Regarding your question - It is very simple to implement clickable image opening on black background: When you add a photo to post, it looks something like this:
All you need to get clickable image is to change the format as following:
[](image address)
You add square brackets around original format and then copy/paste image address in circle brackets after the enclosing square bracket.
I happy to have you as a follower and hope you will like my forthcoming works.
Very good timing 😃 But I think it's often the case that good photos are a combination of skills and timing. You still have to be a skilled photographer to make a good picture out of the situation.
Thank you so much for the information! It looks so much better that way.
Resteemed!
Many thanks for your support!
Great light, separate well the animal from the background. Good shot!
Thanks my friend. These were last minutes of sun, the backdrop is already shady. The gazelle appeared at the very right moment. Pure luck and coincidence. As usual :)
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and glad you found your way through summer!
Thanks! Yep, it added a whole new dimension into my photography life.
I can tell that it will be an amazing experience to see your future work then! As your current work is already so captivating :)
