Christina Port's photostream
|
Hi
Thanks for taking the time to visit. I hope you enjoy my work.
I got my first camera at the age of 9 and since then there has always been a camera close by. My big interest is bird photography. I totally love being the only person somewhere enjoying nature and the quiet of it.
All my photographs are of WILD BIRDS AND ANIMALS - WILD AND FREE

"C'est avec un grand plaisir que je regarde vos photos Christina, comme moi vous aimez la chasse photo animalière et la nature. J'apprécie énormément vos fabuleuses photos d'oiseaux. Vos clichés sont d'une grande qualité et toujours bien composés. C'est un régal de découvrir au fil des jours vos nouvelles photos.
Je suis très heureux de vous connaitre par l'intermédiaire de Flickr et de vous avoir comme amie.
Merci pour toutes vos visites et sympathiques commentaires.
Amitiés et salutations depuis la France.

"I absolutely love Christina's composition and colour in her photos, particularly of the Fairy Wrens and Oystercatchers. She captures avian animals brilliantly in her shots, and I look forward to viewing more of them as they're uploaded to Flickr."

"I have watched Christina for a long time now…………..as her work is very very good. She is serious, and is dedicated, and photography is an extension of her ….I can tell…..I gave her a compliment today and I was shocked at how she felt she needed a boost she was either feeling down or that she was doubting her abilities well…….NOTHING could be further than the truth…….Competency and integrity to the craft and allegiance are the words I think of when I think of Christina’s work ….She has a precise eye her images are amazing even in bright light …and that is the test of a pro..
I have especially watched your bird work and I see such a development that has always got me interested in what you’re going to put up next.
You have no ego and you will try what you have to……..to get the shot ………and that speaks of determination will power and a desire to succeed an conquer………I thought I would write you a testimonial not because I felt you needed it ……..but because you deserved it …….and I was going to get around to it sooner or later but your words shocked me……….. as you are so so competent and you have a deadly eye and you understand light and how it performs with the images you want to capture.
Like I said I have watched your impressive work for a while now and it’s very good………Memorable ………..and that is the key to knowing if your good or not but you never know your self because you don’t know what the masses remember …….well I remember many of your wonderful shots because they have that edge of proficiency and that you never forget.
Your birds whether it is Herons ,or Egrets, or Pelicans, Gulls, or many kinds of Songbirds are so impressive and life like, ………and you bring so much to flickr island and you should be strutting NOT doubting!!!!……….great work Christina and aside from all this…….. thanks for being a good flickr friend to me ………..much appreciated and noticed ………..thanks .………….Howard"20th May, 2011

"What I observed from her stream, Christina is a front line Ornithological research person, she promotes and encourage the wider understanding, appreciation and conservation of birds through her superior photographic studies.
Bird watching and photography are keys to experiencing the nature; this often leads to an interest or a kind of passion of talented photography that too I have seen from her brilliant works. An obvious nature lover!
More than a year I have regular contacts with Christina, the way she encourage all her contacts is amazing and she definitely became a role model to other Flickr members by inspiring them how to compose and capture the marvellous frames of birds’ images. Here I want to write, Christina is a great Flickr Friend and a brilliant ambassador to bird watching and studies.
I have to mention an important fact about her photo stream; Christina’s shared images are uploaded directly from the camera without any editing, those are the real candid originals with natural beauty.
I wish Christina all the very best!!
Keep up your enthusiasm and brilliant work while waiting much greater sharing, Dear Friend."10th April, 2011

I Love Poppies says:
"I have admired Christinas stunning bird photographs for a long time and thought it was about time i wrote her a testimonial! Australian birds are unique and i have found her work fascinating as i've seen and learnt about birds i would never have known before! Christina has a wonderful eye for composition, showing the beautiful birds in their natural habitat and the clarity of her shots is stunning! On top of all this, she is a wonderful flickr friend, always loyal with her time and comments! Keep up the great work my friend! :-) xx"

Callocephalon Photography says:
"In the world of bird photography where 'bird-on-the-stick' portraits are all too common and predictable, you can always count on Christina to come up with images that capture some of the true spontaneity of nature. And while everyone at least captures one or two images of some interesting behaviour every blue moon, the quality and regularity with which Christina produces them is outstanding.
Having been a regular contact of Christina's over the past year or so has made me realise that I, like many other people I suspect, am guilty of not taking the extra steps of searching out the little nuances of the life of birds that are in fact the most interesting. Patience and a good eye I guess it what it takes.
Great work, Christina. Keep it up! This is one of the most interesting avian flickrsites of us Australian bird photographers."23rd May, 2010

"Christina must be a very patient person to be able to present to us so many clear and beautiful bird shots. To be able to do what she does, one must have the equipment and the passion for nature's flying beauties. She has both!
I have tried to compete with her in this arena and I had failed miserably!
I believe all her presentations were not heavily edited as I do in most of my fotos, thus making her work even more interesting to view!
btw, I knew Christina for only less than a year in flickr and one fine day, she must teach me all her tricks to capture great bird shots like hers!
Forever looking forward to your lovely fotos dear! Keep 'em coming!

"First of all let me say, that I have never written testimonial. I couldn't think of a better person to start with. I have not met Christina in person, but I can tell from being a contact of hers that she is a very good person and hopefully one day we will meet and do a shoot.
Now let me say something about her photography, I have been following her work for about 6 months, maybe more, it that little bit of time her images went from being good to great and I do mean that !!!
She always has the time to comment on my photos, even when I don't have time to comment on hers, but just to let you know I always look at all your photos.
Keep up the great work Christina !!!"7th October, 2009
