Alum Bay is the location of a classic sequence of upper Paleocene and Eocene beds of soft sands and clays, separated by an unconformity from the underlying Cretaceous Chalk Formation that forms the adjoining headland of West High Down. Due to geological folding of the Alpine orogeny, the strata in the main section of the bay are near vertical, with younger rocks with progressively lower dips to the west. The sands are coloured due to oxidised iron compounds formed under different conditions.
Alum Bay Chine begins as a small wooded valley descending eastward from the junction of the B3322 and the road to Headon Hall. It soon broadens into the clay ravine through which the path and chairlift from Needles Park descend to the beach.
Archive shot. It was -5 degrees C that morning. I had to give up when I could no longer feel my fingers - this, with gloves on.
Lovely autumn conditions - just thrilling! The unmistakable Langdale Pikes vie with the birches for attention...
These deep rooted trees survive in tough Australian arid conditions. Allocasuarina decaisneana or desert oak is a medium-sized, slow-growing tree found in the dry desert regions of the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. The dioecious tree typically grows to a height of 10 to 16 metres and as high as 20 m and a width of 3 to 8 m. Young trees have a narrow trunk and form and grey/green feathery foliage. They mature to an adult form with spreading limbs and bushy foliage. It is the only member of its family in Central Australia and its large cylindrical cones are the biggest in its family. Often found in swales between sand dunes they grow well in deep red sand. The species is distributed through the deserts of the eastern part of central Western Australia, in the southern portion of the Northern Territory, and in northern South Australia. It is often the only tree species to be found in these area where the dominant form of vegetation is spinifex. The tree was particularly useful to Indigenous Australian peoples who used the trees as a source of water. Water can be collected from tree hollows but surface roots could also be broken off in sections to provide potable water by draining the root when held vertically or by directly sucking the water out. The Aborigines also used the hard wood of the trees for making boomerangs, shields and clubs. A boomerang that is 10,000 years old made from Allocasuarina wood was found in Wylie Swamp in South Australia. 16240

Conditions were about perfect this afternoon. Partly cloudy, mid-sixties, occasional light breeze. Today I wanted to get a good "In Flight" photo of a Red Wing Blackbird. I concentrated on them, and the RWWBs were in good supply.
I got several pretty good flying shots...similar to others I've put into my photostream. I wanted a BETTER one though. Finally got it. There will always be a potential even better one out there, but for now I've gotten a pretty good one.

Last Saturday 8th June there were exceptionally strong winds mainly in the south of England with a force 8 gale in the English Channel. The conditions were quite unusual for June. For wave photos it all came together with the rain passing through overnight giving way to sunshine and the peak of the winds coming in the afternoon close to high tide. Right on the coast it was the sort of wind where it is hard to walk into. This shot was taken from a slight hill just before the cliffs which gives a slightly higher viewpoint and is also out of range of salt spray. It is a lot easier taking pictures without the rain cover I had for later when I moved to the beach.
The location at Newhaven on the South Coast also had the advantage of a wide and high shingle beach providing a safe location to take pictures even in a fierce storm. The wall is a breakwater for the harbor and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater also creating a lot of backwash and turbulence. This picture was taken about 1 hour 45 minutes before high tide. During the 3 hours I was there I took 1200 images.
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 250mm. Taken handheld No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions. The image was processed first in ON1 Photo Raw Editor. Then it was Topaz Denoise followed by Topaz Clarity for more detail.

Evening photo on Montana's Highway 200, east of Missoula. The only camera I had with me at the time was an old point & shoot. To quote another photographer I know, "The best camera is the one you have with you at the moment."
Dunes, Soft Light. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Details of sand dunes in soft evening light, Death Valley Naitonal Park.
Sand dunes are always fascinating subjects, both for their appearance as part of the larger landscape and because they contain almost infinite varieties of smaller subjects, textures, colors, and variations in light. I made a wild guess recently that I’ve probably been to Death Valley perhaps twenty-five times. You’d think that I might start to tire of the dunes or run out of things to photograph there… but there’s not sign of this happening.
We went to these dunes late in the day and had them entirely to ourselves. The light was challenging, as clouds were building to the west. As the clouds moved the light increased and decreased, but overall it remained quite soft the entire time. But this just provides another variation on how we can photograph this subject, and the soft light lets me reveal some subtle details that can be lost in brighter conditions. I made some post-processing choices here that highlight the variations in light and the soft forms of the dunes.

The great thing (and most frustrating) about photography is you never know what the conditions are going to be when you get to your shooting destination. All the apps, planning, weather predictions in the world are great, but those tiny variables can completely change everything! This particular sunrise had the potential for a good one, but between the time I went to bed and woke up, the clouds showed up and changed everything. I was up anyways, why not freeze my butt off. In the end it actually turned out to be a really cool morning. The sky turned pink for a good 5 mins, before the thick clouds snuffed out the colour. All that was left was this tiny sliver of light on the horizon (which I thought looked really cool).
Magical Morning Moments - Without doubt, the light produced by a beautiful morning sunrise or the golden glow of an evening sunset (both times known as the 'Golden Hour') are the very best times of the day to think about capturing a subject through your camera lens. If you're fortunate enough to be out and about during these particular times of the day when the conditions are in favour then you're in for a very special treat which will totally boost your images.
The conditions on Friday looked too good to miss - snow, fog and a chance of some sunrise light. I stuck the camera in a small shoulder bag and headed out on my morning walk.
Wikipedia: Pancake ice forms in conditions of high wave activity, in contrast to other types of sea ice formed under calm conditions. Pancake ice can form in two processes: (1) on water covered to some degree in slush, shuga or grease ice, or (2) from breaking of ice rind, nilas or even gray ice in agitated conditions.[3] If the waves are strong enough, pancakes can raft over each other, creating an uneven top and bottom surface on the ice. At this point, the pancake ice will fuse together and amalgamate into an ice sheet. This ice sheet will continue to grow over the winter. This process increases pancake ice's resilience, resulting in characteristic length scales less than ocean wavelengths and causing waves passing through pancake ice not to scatter.[3]
Arthur's Pass National Park is located in the South Island of New Zealand and covers 1,185 km2 of mostly mountainous terrain. The park is popular for tramping, skiing, hunting and mountaineering. The mountains around Arthur's Pass contain very challenging terrain. The peaks are highly exposed to the weather, the tracks are often very steep, and are often marked only by poles strung across a rocky landscape. Below the tree line the bush is dense and thick. In common with many alpine areas the weather is subject to frequent and sudden change. There have been numerous incidents where trampers have been unprepared for the harsh and variable conditions, and Arthur's Pass National Park consequently has a reputation as one of the most dangerous national parks in New Zealand.
The Devils Punchbowl waterfall is located close to the northern end of Arthur′s Pass Village. The short walk to the waterfall and back can be completed in under two hours. The start of the walk is at the footbridge that crosses the Bealey River. The walk takes in beech forest resplendent with birdlife. The track climbs a well maintained track to the base of the 131 metre waterfall, where there is a viewing platform. (Wikipedia)
------------------
We hiked part of the Devil's Punchbowl trail in search of Keas and other bird life but did not make it to the waterfall. Stunningly beautiful and surprisingly cold, this national park and the nearby glacier were well worth the visit.

Perfect conditions for my first visit here, and what a fantastic location for railway photography.
'Sarah' with the 6S45 06.25 Blyth - Fort William loaded alumina tanks, the train has just passed through Rannoch station on the right of the image.
This train is the only scheduled freight on this line, typically running 2 or 3 times a week each way. In the winter and darker months it passes here in darkness.
Must be seen 'large'.
Conditions were a bit dull on my walk today but these little charmers kept me amused. The cutest of the cute
In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

Been having some eye issues for over a week should get it fixed next Tuesday. Complication from cataract surgery!
September Sunrise with the morning sunlight glowing over Blea Tarn with the Langdale Pikes in the background taken during a very calm, quiet morning in the Lake District, UK.
I was lucky to visit there under special weather conditions - it was lightly raining, you could touch the clouds with your hands. Although the image is gray, the feeling is unreal.
A few days ago, conditions for sunset were looking promising. I had been meaning to captured this local field and asked the farmer for his permission to take some shots and fly the drone. He was more than happy, and I was glad I did, as it was a stunning sunset.

Then there are days that are not really suitable for photography. A photo should be able to show these conditions clearly.
I had an early start on Sunday and meet with fellow togs Andy & Pete to capture the sunrise at the Old Mill at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. The conditions were far from perfect with no clouds, the water was a bit low and a cold easterly breeze blowing but we were greeted with some pre-sunrise glow in the sky which soon disappeared!
For those that are interested the Old Mill was built around 1730. The mill was derelict in 1934 but by 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation and hence my title for the image!

Conditions de prises de vue extrêmes, peu de luminosité des installations, pas de pied, vent, je pense que le résulat n'est pas trop mal!
Le parc est créé dans le cadre de l'exposition internationale Emscher Park. Localisé sur le site d'une ancienne sidérurgie, le parc paysager est l'un des points d'ancrage de la Route européenne de la culture industrielle et de la Route de la culture industrielle (de) de la Ruhr. Le quotidien britannique The Guardian classe le parc parmi les dix meilleurs parcs urbains du monde aux côtés du High Line (New York), des Buttes-Chaumont (Paris), de Hampstead Heath (Londres) et du Parc Güell (Barcelone)1. En 2016, le parc accueille 1 019 391 visiteurs et plus de 800 événements.
Les installations industrielles sont mises en scène tous les jours à la tombée de la nuit jusqu'à 1 h avec un éclairage coloré par Jonathan Park.
Extreme shooting conditions, little light from the installations, no feet, wind, I think the result isn't too bad!
