Watching rain fall towards Kessingland and Southwold, from Lowestoft beach, Suffolk.
Experimenting with heavy HDR, using 3 shots taken with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, blended in Photomatix, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
Love her or hate her, if you have spent any length of time here, these sudden cloudbursts? Just normal. We are away for a bit. Back soon…
Storm brewing over the Hidden Lake above Logan Pass in Glacier National Park.
Within seconds of taking this photo, which was the last one I took before putting the camera in my bag, those clouds rushed down the mountain slope with hurricane-force wind and rushed up to our side of the mountain and hit us. I didn't even get the chance to put the camera in my bag. The storm came with large hail, ferocious wind, and rain that felt like it would pierce the skin, and lightning strikes all around.
Last night - 1 hour before sunset, the best light show of the night took place. I was very happy to be in the right place at the right time for once.
Circular Polarizer and 2 stop GND used to capture this in one shot.

Every sunset is different, because every day; sun
is different, clouds are different, space is different,
reflections are different....mountains are different,
fogs are different, and above all, we are different.
― Mehmet Murat ildan
Sunsets are proof; that no matter what
happens...every day can end beautifully.

When I looked out the window early the morning after I saw the cloudburst over Mono Lake, I noticed that there were still some lingering clouds. We quickly headed out to the overlook just past the visitor center. I'm so glad we did. The falling sheets of rain were illuminated by the bright rays of the rising sun. Another magic moment.
The sun seemed to be exploding from behind this cloud just before sun down. Didn’t have much time for photos as I had to drive to Charlotte and back for work. It’s about an 8 hours away drive each way. I did manage a few self portraits from my hotel room that I haven’t had a chance to edit yet.
Day 208 of 365
The geometric fields of Overstones Farm were lit up for a few moments when I took this image earlier this evening, as the sun found a small gap in an otherwise cloudy sky. Further down the Hope Valley, the heavens were opening. I was tempted to air-brush the cars parked in the layby beyond the fields and the cement works towards the end of the Hope Valley but left them in. I did however remove some bagged silage stored behind the farm (digitally not literally).
Cloudburst off the coast at Coalcliff. Ship in pic is a car carrier heading to Port Kembla to unload.
As a thunderstorm passes to the North East of Scarborough the sun breaks through the heavy clouds casting beautiful light on the castle headland.

Spring Cloudburst. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A spring cloudburst moves across a Southern California grassland landscape.
On our way back from Death Valley at the end of March we detoured though mountains to the west of the Central Valley, looking for grasslands where the spring wildflower bloom was starting. After a few false starts — two dead ends that forced us to turn around and try different routes — we finally made it to this big valley where wet years can produce a huge carpet of wildflowers.
The tail end of a weather system was passing through, producing conditions that are common here in the spring — mixed sun and rain, sudden cloudbursts, and fascinating light. Here a downpour darkens the sky against a background of intense sunlight on the rain and distant clouds.

After post-processing stage, this image - like another 100 or so - was just sitting there on my harddrive for a while, waiting to be posted. I made a B/W Infrared out of it. It just took some time for me to got used to it. While browsing through my local image collections this afternoon I came across this one again and frankly I was quite impressed by the impact that the Infrared effect causes to the overall atmosphere. As if I was looking at a huge explosion, a big bang, on a clear afternoon.
Post- & Pre-processing technique: A single RAW file has been optimized, pre-sharpened and tone-corrected during pre-processing stage. Got rid of sensor noise and clutter, inverted my B/W conversion applied with a Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer. Made some local selective colouring with the Selective Color Adjustment Layer throughout the scene. Furthermore, post-sharpening, the addition of a fabric texture effect [removed], local tonal contrast enhancements, and finally Burning & Dodging on a 50% gray filled layer in Overlay mode to enhance some dark / light areas throughout the scene.
Edit: I removed the fabric texture effect because some might think the image contains some heavy unwanted moiré.
Exposure settings: f/13, 0.013 sec (1/80), ISO 100, 12 mm

This was my prize for a lightning chase that was a bust. It turned out to be an evening of many rainbows, including this beautiful and brilliant short stack over the Manzano Mountains. It was so dreamy with the pouring rain in the background yet interfering with the sharpness of the lines. Los Lunas, New Mexico USA
This will be my first in a series of at least 3 rainbow compositions that I shot during this sunset. At least I intend to do that.
