A very powerful searchlight was quietly playing its light beam around on the nearby low cloud cover here tonight.
2024-01-14
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 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.
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.
Out chasing storms in northeast Colorado and saw some amazing crawlers that looked like they were coming off of a tower going up into the sky. During the dissipation of a severe thunderstorm, many discharges of lightning that never appear to make it to the ground will appear to cling to the base of a cloud. Looking up at the cloud base, an anvil crawler will look like fingers of lightning underneath the clouds.

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.
Provenance: Ex-collection John Noble.

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 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
Little more than ten minutes earlier, Harringworth Viaduct had been bathed in glorious winter sunshine, but everyone overlooking this scene knew that we would not be getting Vintage Trains 'Corby Luncheon Shuttle' in such superb light. In fact, a small gap in the cloud base did materialise, sufficient to add a bit of glint onto the train, hauled by No. 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' with No. 7029 'Clun Castle' at the rear, as it made its way across the viaduct. It was an add-on working to an earlier train from Tyseley Steam Trust to Melton Mowbray, this being the 1356 Melton Mowbray - Corby - Melton Mowbray shuttle that had earlier been worked by No. 7029 on the outward leg. In the background is Harringworth village, with the spire of St John the Baptist parish church prominent. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
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.
Instructions (without cloud base) here
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.
I retain a soft-spot for the Hercules, having had the good fortune to fly in one as an Air Cadet in the 90s. It’s a spectacular example of a machine that has been almost perfect in its various roles for decades in various air forces and some civilian uses.
It was pleasing to see one running up on the apron at Christchurch as we taxied in earlier. An RAAF one flew over our house last week, but it was above the cloud base. First time in years I have seen operational versions. The RAAF one then did low passes along the coast of the Mornington Peninsula before returning to New South Wales. Not sure where this machine departed too, as I was busy getting to my hotel.
I mostly grabbed this shot for Joshua. Fiddling with it in Lightroom, I felt the colour tone resulting from shooting through the aeroplane window resembled a film shot. The over-exposed strip (from a reflection or such like on the aeroplane window) resembled a light leak too, further prompting me to add some grain to further the effect, so I have decided to keep it.
The Sun setting through a gap in the clouds from Dale Head. Honister slate mine is seen on the flanks of Fleetwith Pike above the Honister Pass. 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.
170636 zips by Lea Marston working 1V04 Nottingham to Cardiff Central some nice colour in the sky but the cloud base was already building.
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.

In meteorology, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. These suspended particles are also known as aerosols and are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
Terrestrial cloud formation is the result of air in Earth's atmosphere becoming saturated due to either or both of two processes; cooling of the air and adding water vapor. With sufficient saturation, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga, which evaporates before reaching the surface.
Clouds in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. It was introduced in December 1802 and became the basis of a modern international system that classifies these tropospheric aerosols into several physical forms or categories, then cross-classifies them into families of low, middle and high according to cloud-base altitude range above Earth's surface. Clouds with significant vertical extent are often considered a separate family. One physical form shows free-convective upward growth into low or vertical heaps of cumulus. Other forms appear as non-convective layered sheets like low stratus, and as limited-convective rolls or ripples as with stratocumulus. Both of these layered forms have middle- and high-family variants identified respectively by the prefixes alto- and cirro-. Thin fibrous wisps of cirrus are a physical form found only at high altitudes. In the case of clouds with vertical extent, prefixes are used whenever necessary to express variations or complexities in their physical structures. These include cumulo- for complex highly convective vertical nimbus storm clouds, and nimbo- for thick stratiform layers with sufficient vertical depth to produce moderate to heavy precipitation. This process of cross-classification produces ten basic genus-types or genera, most of which can be subdivided into species and varieties. Synoptic surface weather observations use code numbers to record and report any type of tropospheric cloud visible at scheduled observation times based on its height and physical appearance.
While a majority of clouds form in Earth's troposphere, there are occasions when they can be observed at much higher altitudes in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Clouds that form above the troposphere have common names for their main types, but are sub-classified alpha-numerically rather than with the elaborate system of Latin names given to cloud types in the troposphere. These three main atmospheric layers that can produce clouds, along with the lowest part of the cloudless thermosphere, are collectively known as the homosphere. Above this lies the heterosphere (which includes the rest of the thermosphere and the exosphere) that marks the transition to outer space. Clouds have been observed on other planets and moons within the Solar System, but, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.

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.

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).
The fell (hill) to the right is Glaramara. On a good day, if you go via Allen Crags, which was the plan, there are spectacular views down into Mickleden and Langdale, over to to the Scafell range and across to Great End and Great Gable. With the cloud base stubbornly hovering just above 600m, though, this was not a good day and the only thing we’d be seeing, all the way back along the ridge, would’ve been the inside of a cloud.
Now, being in the mountains in clag can be quite atmospheric so, rather than abandoning the walk, we decided to break off onto the path to Sprinkling Tarn, have lunch and return to Seathwaite via Styhead where we met a gang of intrepid-looking young men asking directions for Scafell Pike. The conversation went thus:
ME: Have you got a map?
THEM: Nope.
ME: Ah. Do you have a map app or some such?
THEM: Like Google Maps?
ME: Ah. Will you be coming back this way?
THEM: No, we’re going to Wasdale Head.
ME: Ah. See those guys over there? Follow them.
THEM: OK. Cheers!
ME: Aye. You’ll sleep tonight, lad.
Before they left, I had them take a photo of the relevant section of my map. The folk I sent them after were doing ‘The Corridor Route’, it’s very popular (even midweek, now) so the paths are good and obvious, there’s only one mildly dodgy bit, although the cloud was low, there was no rain forecast and it doesn’t get dark till well after nine; they’d be fine. They’re young, they’ll have an adventure they can celebrate later in the bar, they’ll not see anything other than the ground beneath their feet but they’ll’ve conquered Scafell Pike.
Dear god.

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.

Lightning is always present
Glimmering within the Ominous Cloudset
Shimmering Wonderful Light
Under the Base of a Thunderstorm
It Illuminates the Night!
Once I hear that rumble of thunder with all my gear set up! I get a chance to watch the illumination of the cloud to cloud-base lightning. Under the base of a thunderstorm as it approaches. Don't always get to see a bolt, but that's not the point of this video. It is the light.
Haven't made a new videos since last December so I thought it was time.
*** Note
If I have inspired you to watch the video to the end and you like this type of imagery.... I would highly suggest a visit to my Album here on Flickr called Illuminate the Night. Over 3200 images there now & I'm adding more all the time!

Light was fading fast.
an air filled celluloid cloud. A comment on repurposing and an exploration of the relationship between Cloud based technology and the informed consumer. What is the Cloud? Where is it and can we trust it with our most prized files? We need to encourage a healthy skepticism as we try to better understand the technology. The cloud shaped void at the center of the installation represents the unknown and uncertainty of the 'Cloud'. And whilst there is no empirical evidence suggesting the concepts is flawed, let's continue to question the pros and cons.

There was some heavy cloud up here yesterday as the sun began to dip. It made for some unusual and strong colours as the sun moved through the small gap between the cloud base and the horizon.
This was my final frame of the day - a long exposure made after the sun had departed.
Click twice to enlarge. These images occurred over a 5 minute period. I think it unusual to see horizontal forked (branched) lightning. The bright star in middle and lower panel is Jupiter.
Double click image to enlarge.
Taken 26 Aug 21 with Fujifilm X-T3. This storm was about 25 miles away over northern Colorado. The cloud to ground strikes illuminated rain shaft while possible anvil crawlers with multiple branches extended horizontally beneath the cloud base.

Picture of the Day
Another shot from the 2018 British All-Comers open, just before the start of a task set from the hills near Basano. Flying unpowered aircraft, altitude is our gasoline; we take any opportunity nature gives us to climb higher in the sky for we know as well as anyone that what goes up must come down again. Cloud base was not much higher than the launch, so we soon found ourselves jostling for every last metre of altitude, trying to surf any little wisp up the side of the ominous-looking, but actually quite benign clouds. Flying in cloud is generally forbidden, and in competitions it is seen as un-sporting as it can give an unfair advantage of altitude.

This photo possibly falls in to the category of not being that eye-catching, but I'm posting it anyway as the moment in time was definitely eye catching for me.
This morning was spent soaring over Morrone on a slightly foreboding looking day; the sky was fairly cloudy, and rain could be seen approaching from the depths of the Cairngorms. It all ended up flanking south, and when a little bit of sun broke through to warm up the heather-covered hills, we were soon up at cloud-base, and for a moment I found myself treading carefully in the white room, at the edge of a cloud that I'd climbed under and stayed a little too close to. Aiming for light, I broke through the side of the cloud, and in that moment I was presented with tunnel-like vision of sunny Braemar below me. A few seconds later I took this shot, which isn't nearly as dramtic but I still like the last fragments of cloud floating in front of me.
