My lucky weather charm
I've often joked with people on here that I have a book entitled "101 rain dances for the keen photographer" but obviously no such book exists. But if it does, and you know where to get a copy of it, drop me a line... However I do think I've cracked the cheat code to getting amazing weather when out and about - you invite Dom Haughton along with you. As many of you know Dom has recently been over to Sweden to visit, before we headed off to Rondane in Norway for five days of photography. We've been so lucky with the weather and conditions that it is only logical to conclude that Dom is in fact a weather god disguised in that Cornish body of his.
However, celestial being or not, he's not a morning person and the dread on his face when I declared we were getting up early Saturday morning for a sunrise photo was priceless. Poor Dom, he was tired after his flight was delayed over an hour and a half resulting in a mad dash to my neck of the woods to photograph the setting sun once he arrived. Sadly Dom was a little disorientated after sitting on the tarmac at Heathrow so hadn't quite tuned in his weather-whispering capabilities just then. The next morning though was something else..... We stood at the top of Havstensklippan and watched a pretty cool sunrise before things kicked off that resulted in us running around like headless chickens and me repeatedly saying phrases like "wow" and "Holy Moly" as mother nature kept on giving. I used those phrases a lot in the coming week as Norway really delivered in spades but those photos will have to wait. Another phrase I used a lot was "white Tesla" but that's another story for later. As for my lucky weather charm, my children have asked Dom to come back for December this year so we can be guaranteed a white Christmas....
