I parked up and the skies were fairly clear, I could certainly see the mountain tops and their lovely winter coat. Rushed up the corpse road and in the twenty mins it took, the conditions had changed considerably for the worse. So after this disappointing start on the corpse road and a cloud base stuck at 700m, I headed over to Rough Crag, surely the cloud would lift by the time I got there. But there was no reward for my efforts of reaching the top of rough crag and very little point heading any higher into the clag, So a slippy slide down to Blea Water and back along the very soggy path to the car. I think my knee has just about forgiven me now. In this view was the briefest of time the sun poke its head through. Mountains in view (in theory) Far right High Street, center right, Mardale ill Bell, centre left, Harter Fell and far left , Branstree.
... you just have to find it! After an afternoon in the cloud on Pike O Blisco the chance of a good sunset was looking slim. Glancing over Hardknott from Wrynose there was a slither of gold beneath the cloud base - always worth checking out. So glad we did when we stumbled upon this.

Great forest and loch walk today (keeping low because of rain and low cloud base) around Loch Ard.. 7.68 miles so was not too 'ard'!
Cappuccinos and pastries after down at Callander.. 😁
As my hangglider friends say, 'There's no place like Cloud Base'. Even if that means a lot of fog here in Chicago!
Sometimes you've got to work with light pollution. I love the stark contrasting hand lit steel against the flat light polluted cloud cover.
Despite appearances, there is no post processing here apart from a water mark. Produced with in camera custom white balance to achieve the maximum contrast between the light polluted cloud base and the aqua hand lighting of the structure.

Taken 1 minute after sunrise. Small ridge blocks actual sun's visibility by about 3 minutes from official sunrise. These orange colors were captured at the base of the lowest layered cloud base.
Snow is from a blizzard 9 days ago.
A series of images from an assault on Glaramara in the English Lake District in July 2021 that was abandoned due to clag (low cloud).
We sat down for a bit here and had lunch. It was very quiet and peaceful and, most of the time we were there, you couldn’t see the opposite bank. When the cloud base lifted a bit, I snapped an image.

I chose this format because I wanted to exclude surrounding buildings and focus on the interaction between the top of the tower and the clouds. Stratus clouds are essentially the same thing as fog, except the cloud base lies a few hundred meters above ground level.

A shot from Day 1 in Torridon hiking up Beinn Damh at 903m. Unfortunately the cloud base was around 600m so we lost the views higher up. To the right the clouds are covering the summit of Beinn Alligin, one of Scotland's finest mountains.
Taken late afternoon on 20 May 2020. The ragged cloud base resembles a whale's mouth in severe thunderstorms without high precipitation.
Bear's cage - (tornado chaser slang) The precipitation that wraps around a mesocyclone, possibly hiding a tornado on the ground.
Grey, grey, grey, flat light, but for once the cloud base is a little higher and it isn't raining yet. Time to get up high on the hill and exercise the limbs.

Whilst walking in the dales last weekend, the weather got me thinking. The clouds were very low and there was this wonderful eerie atmosphere, as the mist slowly undulating down Wharfedale.
This tree caught my eye, as the cloud base kept dipping down and stroking its highest branches. I’d been past this spot many times, but the mist had re-framed my perspective, helped me ‘see more’. The conditions had not only physically framed a new perspective but they had helped me emotionally connect with a familiar place in a different way.
The calm feelings I had, were paradoxically warm and optimistic considering the hostile conditions. But its only now that I select and edit this image that i truly recognise this. In reflection i did feel calm when there, but I didn’t explore the reasons, I didn’t question what it was that inspired them.
Yes I was inspired by the photographic conditions, but it was more than that. I truly felt like I should be there (sorry if I'm sounding like an old hippy). I wonder if the new perspective created by the unusual weather was the very reason I felt optimistic. It was indeed a break from the norm and the new perspective on familiar ground was refreshing. What made it special to me was that, I managed to find such positive optimistic feelings from what others would not.
This in itself is reward enough, but I wondered what other simple experiences that I took for granted could be explored and turned into simple pleasures.
Here is an (edited) list I began in the café on that day, that I fully intend to explore further. Some are more common than others and some I haven’t the bottle to share with you guys, fearing being taken away in a white coat (o:
Coming in from the cold,
The first five seconds of a new bath,
Clean sheets,
Smell of spring air,
A massive sneeze,
Waking up in the middle o the night, knowing that you have several hours left to sleep,
The smell of fresh coffee/bread,
A single bird song,
Sound of crashing waves,
Humbling feeling whilst looking at mountains,
Walking on a deserted beach at dawn / dusk,
Swimming with eyes closed,
Dry sand through fingers,
Sea spray on face,
Warm sun on face,
Catching a big wave,
The feeling of exhaustion from exercise,
The sound of the glugs from a wine bottle,
The smell of a log fire.
With this overcast, I knew there would be no fire sky sunset. Little did I expect these high based clouds would be unstable and produce showers that barely reached the ground. The air was dry enough to cause most of the virga to evaporate near the cloud base. This resulted in ragged mammatus clouds to form. Additionally, the evaporative cooling of the air resulted in winds increasing from 10 mph to 37 mph.

What is virga?
Rain that evaporates before it reaches the ground due to very dry air above the surface and below cloud base.
As the rain evaporates, it cools the air. Since cool air is more dense than warm air, it sinks to the ground rapidly. Once it reaches the ground, the cool air spreads outward in all directions. Sometimes the only indication is dust being kicked up. This is called a dry microburst.
Picture of the Day
I took a friend up onto Kinder Scout for the first time today, ascending with a scramble up Crowden Clough onto the plateau, across to Swines Back through the Wool Packs and down Jacobs Ladder.
The weather was very much the same as Tuesday, if not a little clearer. My friend concurred that the low cloud base and murk added to otherworldly feeling of the wind weathered landscape.
I took the liberty of holding up our hike and catch-up to snap this photograph, the light permeating under the cloud base and silhouettes of Swines Back and South Head looking too good to miss.
I took a little while to find my foreground, but I finally settled on this moss-covered boulder that almost reflected the profile of the peaks on the horizon. This perhaps didn't come through so clearly in the final photo, I think it just about holds it together though.
First hike of the year, at last and is probably already contender to hold the title of most intense conditions to shoot 2023.
I've seen Ladybower with quite the mood on before, but in a very textural deep greys and dramatic clouds way. This is more the kind of shot I'd hope to get in autumn, but that didn't quite work out for me and it's definitely the atmosphere I've been chasing here or a wee while.
The cloud base was low and as serene as the photograph looks, the wind was absolutely howling at gale force, which led to me camping out on this spot for a good amount of time until I got the right density of fog/cloud. I love photography like this, when you have to capture a fleeting moment to get the magic that you're after and after today I can tell you; I am crap at estimating the two second delay for my shutter.
Not sure if anything is gonna match this for me any time soon...
A very powerful searchlight was quietly playing its light beam around on the nearby low cloud cover here tonight.

The Virgin,dressed in a metallic thread robes, stands on a gold gilded orb supported by a silvered metalwork cloud base with silver horned of crescent moon intact. The whole ensemble stands on a rectangular wooden plinth base with a silver repousse facing.
MOST INTERESTING FEATURE: May have been an image of the Virgin and Child but the image of the child Jesus may have been lost over time. The silver nimbus with the image of the Holy Spirit is probably a replacement.

As winter arrives the pond slowly starts freezing over. The rising mornig sun slowly starts to dissipate the low hanging cloud base that had covered the scene earlier creating an almost surreal light.
some great atmospheric conditions a few mornings ago on oxen fell in the lake district. the low cloud base really did transform the landscape and changed every few minutes.

I love to be an immersive photographer. Near to far is my favorite way to shoot usually and if not I really want a strong pathway through the scene. Lately, I've been favoring shots that are of a more straightforward fashion. Perhaps they tend to be the least complicated in post. Either way, this was a walkaway shot. A shot taken after exhausting every other "immersive" composition option, I framed the most straightforward shot because why not and I'm in love with it! This was the last scene shot on my 14 day Oregon trip with a fellow photographer buddy Scott Smorra (do check out his work). It was an incredibly misty morning and the light was just right with the sun rising above, faded by the low cloud base. The moisture paired with New Growth on almost everything gave a neon appearance to the tips of the forest. Magical scene to say the least.
This is the last photo scene I shot on my 14-day jaunt around the southern Oregon coast, Redwoods, and the central Cascades. I was blown away of the marvelous splendor Oregon had to offer and considering I visited what many photographers would claim to be the least favorable of areas, I cannot wait to see what awaits next time I go.
For me personally, this was the most successful trip I've made. At least two dozen different scenes from the waves breaking on sea stacks in Bandon, to fog and intense light rays in the Del Norte Redwoods. Raging water flows in the Umpqua and Deschutes National Forest and even an intimate couple of sessions at Crater Lake National Park. Over 5000 images were taken, backed up to a brand spanking new MacBook Pro just to find it unresponsive, not charging, not whirling, and acting more like a paperweight than a backup and editing solution. My worst fear would be that it had been fried somehow.
And it was.
OnTrack Data Recovery has taken it apart. Their initial regards were not positive in the least. Last I heard they are trying to repower and bypass systems to get to the hard drive. Fingers crossed!
This is Sahalie Falls from a distance back. You can see the intense mist of the actual falls in the very distance.
I mentioned in one of yesterday's posts that we had taken a coastal road on the Sleat peninsular. We had hoped to use Dunscaith Castle ruins at Tokavaig as a foreground with the Cuillin as an imposing backdrop. However, as you can see in this image, the cloud base was far too low and we were forced down onto the stony beach where a high tide had deposited this brightly coloured fishing net into an otherwise fairly drab scene.

For much of this hike I had been telling Mark that we would climb through the clouds. He wouldn't listen. I was proved correct when that moment eventually came whilst we made our final climb to the summit of Ben Lawers. A few seconds before this picture was taken we were engulfed in cloud but as is often the case we could see the vague image of the sun trying to make itself known. Then as if someone had removed a great blanket the cloud base dropped a little to reveal a series of sunlit islands poking through. We were lucky enough to be on one of those.

I don't have much luck with the light with my Autumn holidays. No direct light here. But at least this day it wasn't raining and the cloud base wasn't too low. I quite like this though and the conditions are certainly better than my visit in spring when it was hazy and cloudless.
Looking from Green Gable Crag over towards Buttermere and Crummock on the right. It was difficult to stay upright in the wind. I left the camera in the bag when I got to great Gable. It wasn't worth stocking around for sunset unfortunately.
Was determined to find and capture some images from a field of sunflowers after failing miserably last year. Drove for miles & miles in search of these fields, light wasn't good at all although there was some definition in the low cloud base.
They are not quite at there best yet with a lot of new heads just starting to open
This tornado rapidly grew in size. Dust and debris now reaching all the way up to the wall cloud base.
This started out as me trying to come up with an idea for the Eurobricks 25 Years of Adventure competition, I was imagining the top of a huge Mesoamerican pyramid emerging from the cloud canopy but it was quickly obvious I didn't have enough bricks to build a 48 x48 square so I had to settle for an update of 5906: Ruler of the Jungle.
I decided to change the original blue to teal, which caused it to look like a Monkie Kid set, but I carried on anyway.
It also looks quite like a build I did in 2015.

Virga are often referred to as 'jellyfish clouds' based on their puffy-top appearance with streaky stingers hanging below. Apart from jellyfish though, they are often spotted looking like various objects in the sky.
While spending the day spotting at RAF Valley, I was watching an A400M doing circuits at Chester and had been doing doing them for quite a while. Deciding that we would pack it in for the day, we returned to the holiday cottage I decided to look at the flight tracker again, only to find the Atlas had stopped doing circuits at Chester and was lining up to do circuits at Valley!
Seems to be something about RAF Valley visitor-wise; you turn up and you're either too late or nothing appears, or here the aircraft wait for you to leave and then appear!
ZM412 is seen here lining up for one of three approach and go's to Runway 19 on 29/08/2019. The cloud base was very low so I was lucky to get a shot here.

Great Gable looms centre left, the cloud base high enough to reveal her summit. The Peaks of Esk Pike and Bowfell to the left. Scafell Pike and Scafell immersed in cloud as so often is the case. Kirk Fell bathed in sunlight on the right with Yewbarrow poking out from behind.
Airton, Yorkshire
Illumination of the cloud base heralds in a new morning across Yorkshire.
It could have been better, but I'll that what I'm given!

On another occasion there would have been a stunning view of Cadair Idris and the other Welsh mountains in this southern part of the Snowdonia National Park, but this time the cloud base was extremely low. However, the famous Grade II*-listed railway viaduct across the Afon Mawddach stood out in stark contrast.
The bridge was originally constructed in 1867 and was designed by Benjamin Piercy, engineer to the Cambrian Railways. The single-track railway viaduct (751 yards long) has 113 groups of timber supports (pile bents) and a 5-span steel section incorporating a swing bridge (built in 1899) towards the Barmouth end. A lower boarded pedestrian walkway, which I remember walking across as a child, was added in 1868-79.
I recently completed my twelfth trip up to the Ptarmigan so far this year.
Conditions this winter have been the most challenging, but this also give chances for different shooting conditions. Shooting in falling snow is rare ( as you would normally be in the cloud base) so it was great to spend some time with this active territorial male in near perfect conditions.
With the cloud base starting to break 66723 Chinook rolls by Barrow-on-Trent heading 6O01 Scunthorpe to Eastleigh rail train.
When I say sky scraper I mean it in the true sense of the word. The 309 metre (1,014 ft) high Shard, the tallest building in London, really does look as if its tip is tearing a hole in the cloud base.
Despite being partially hidden from view it still towers above everything around it. I'm planning on going up it at some point to take advantage of the fantastic views it offers. As far as I'm aware it's a 'behind glass' experience and you cant actually shoot outside. Anyone know?
This shot was taken from Tower Bridge; it's a handy location to shoot the south bank of the River Thames even if the heavy traffic can make it vibrate somewhat. You just have to pick your moment especially if you're on the centre section.
Most of the buildings you can see, with the exception of the Shard and Guy's Hospital next to it, are part of prestigious More London Estates development. They include City Hall, (the bulbous shaped building far left) a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop (neon blue area), office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianised area containing open-air sculptures and water features. To the right of the shot is the light cruiser HMS Belfast and London Bridge.

Dull and cloudy evening, just a few patches of light occasionally picking out something. Briefly a patch fell on the hillside near the peak of North Barrule in the background... it typically it's hidden beneath a low cloud base, even in summer, so I should be grateful it put in an appearance.
50023 "Howe" (OC) - 3B09 (1550 SX London Paddington - Swansea via Bristol Temple Meads, which was formed of 6 RES parcel vans) - Iver (lnog before electrification & the closure of the footbridge) - 1616 - 21/05/87.
I was hoping to get out with the camera this afternoon , but it's only 7C & the cloud base is so low, that I couldn't even see A9C-HAK passing over the house a few minutes ago (1326) at only 2,500ft!!

Rolling into city limits on the western side of the city. This storm had the perfect light reflecting off of it.
Nice Rain / Hail core just north of the city with the cloud base all the way to the south side of the city. Impressive light creating some cool storm imagery against this storm cell.

The Fernsehturm (English: Berlin TV Tower) is a television tower in central Berlin, Germany.
This photo was taken on approach into Berlin in a special low fog situation, with a very low and thin cloud base leaving only "Alex" visible and the whole city covered with a cloud layer.
Close to Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte, the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the administration of the German Democratic Republic. It was intended as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today,[1] as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany, and the second tallest structure in the European Union (by half a metre).
The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the country and is often in the establishing shot of films set in Berlin. Due to its location near Alexanderplatz, the tower is occasionally called "Alex" Tower. With almost 1.2 million visitors every year, the Berlin TV tower is one of the most popular attractions for tourists in Berlin. From 203 and 207 metres high you can look out over the entire city with its large number of tourist attractions.
