Taken recently at Caswell Bay. When I left the house the sky was lovely and I thought great some good sunset shots tonight. When I arrived at Caswell the sky went to very moody so I did a long exposure shot to try and capture the very moody conditions!

Another image of the beautiful Christine falls from Mt Rainier National Park. In my earlier posts about our visit to the park, I have talked about how our trip to the park coincided with a storm. The storm pretty much covered the entire park in clouds, and the whole time we were there, we couldn’t even seethe main attraction of the park, Mt Rainier itself. We were not discouraged, though and the reason for our bright outlook was the sheer number of beautiful waterfalls around the park.
The stormy overcast conditions were perfect for waterfall photography. Christine Falls, located on the eastern side of the park, and with such a beautiful setting, we could not afford not to visit the waterfall. While the scene at Christine falls is gorgeous, it’s the only composition you can make here as I am not sure getting to the fall's base is even possible. After taking the standard composition, I tried some variations in attempting to frame the waterfall with a tree near the viewing platform. I intended to give a certain depth to the scene. The technical details are pretty straight forward. I used a polarizing filter and a three-stop ND filter to slow the shutter speed and cut down the foliage glare.
Of course the title is sarcastic, but nevertheless, in my humble opinion, the snowless, depressing winter makes for a perfect backdrop for old Soviet rolling stock. The picture shows DR1AMv-283 upon arrival at Elektrinių traukinių depas-1 (Elektrodepas I) as a midday LTG Link Turmantas to Vilnius service at the first day of the year 2025. The trainset has passed the Vilinus city limits approx. 700 meters before and is about to stop at the first stop in the Naujoji Vilnia city part. The stop, as the name suggests, is located directly next to the electric trains depot, which mainly serve the commuter trains around Vilnius, as most of the country's network remains unelectrified.

Ethereal conditions shroud the lakeland pastures with the snowy mountains in the distance.
A fabulous winter morning spent up above the misty clouds on Scout Scar.
Back to the Lake District today, Ashness Jetty at Derwent water.
I could not have asked for better conditions, as we went there in October of 2019 we caught some lovely Autumn colours and those colours were beautifully reflected in Derwent Water that day.
The conditions were perfect, a nice sky and no wind, this and a few others made my day, This is another shot that I have not edited before and now wish I had as I think this will go on my wall somewhere.
This area is a draw for photographers, I had already got to the Ashness bridge early to shoot that, as we were leaving a minibus turned up and a bunch of togs got out, that was the time to go.
I was crouched behind my tripod here when all of a sudden another tripod was plonked against mine in this small area, I said to the guy could you just give me a few moments to take my shots, one of us could have had a wet day !!!.
One of the draw backs of shooting a honeypot spot I guess .
Look out for stormy conditions tomorrow when storm Chandra drops in to say hello.

This is in Smokey Mountain NP near Bryson City NC. Construction was cancelled due to environmental conditions in the 1960’s.
Conditions here with the snow and umbrella color almost make this scene B&W right out of the camera.
The conditions would have been ideal for a great night sky but close to where I live ,I did not have a chance to avoid light pollution. A fact we have to live with and will not improve in future. So I tried to make the best out of it.
Another view of St Paul's Cathedral from the South East side. I was lucky enough to get out of work a bit early today so stopped off by St. Paul's on the way home to take a few pictures despite the overcast conditions making it a bit dark.
Once you have made the steep climb up to the summit of Y Garn you can then see the start of the Nantlle ridge walk laid out before you.
This involves a wonderfully exhilarating series of ups and downs from summits to cols and back up again with fabulous views in all directions. There are parts where you feel a sense of exposure with steep drops on either side of you, but the walk is never really technical or challenging in fine conditions.
Here is a view after leaving Y Garn on the way to the first steep scramble up Mynydd Drws-y-Coed. A great day out with John Bleakley.
Black Redstart / phoenicurus ochruros. Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. 21/10/22.
'GREY BIRD, GREY DAY.'
If it looks as though this beautiful female Black Redstart was photographed in foggy conditions, she was!
She was favouring the lighthouse garden at Flamborough Head, accompanied by another female plus one male. They were newly arrived migrant birds and moved on after a couple of days.
This is the second part of two shot on a Sunday afternoon in rather threatening weather conditions that quickly turned to fine drizzle, then real rain.
Out of camera jpeg with no edits apart from some slight sharpening.
Olympus Pen E-P5 with an early 1950s C mount movie camera lens, the Kern Switar 25mm f/1.5 (approx 50mm equivalent on MFT). I was curious to see what it would make of the nature scenes and the conditions.
I still think it's one of the nicest lenses I have. But scarcely usable on APS-C (strong vignetting) and not at all on full frame.

Sunny peaks with mild and dry air, shady valley with frosty, humid and cold air: it is a classic of some alpine valleys, plains and basins in conditions of high pressure and calm wind during the late autumn and winter period.
The valley hoar frost (produced by freezing fog that then dissolved) makes this air column reversal gradient evident.
The cold air, heavier, stagnates towards the bottom while the warm, lighter, air slides above it, so every long night with clear skies the air in the valley becomes colder and more humid.
It is an orographic/microclimatic self-produced cold, due to the loss of heat from soil towards space which occurs mainly during the late autumn (and winter) long clear nights but which also persists during the day, due to the weak and low sun on the horizon, with greater evidence in the shaded areas.
With an area of over 930 km2 (360 sq mi), the Camargue is western Europe's largest river delta. It is a vast plain comprising large brine lagoons or étangs, cut off from the sea by sandbars and encircled by reed-covered marshes. These are in turn surrounded by a large cultivated area.
Approximately a third of the Camargue is either lakes or marshland. The central area around the shoreline of the Étang de Vaccarès has been protected as a regional park since 1927, in recognition of its great importance as a haven for wild birds. In 2008, it was incorporated into the larger Parc naturel régional de Camargue.
Flora and fauna
Flamingos in the Camargue
Horses and cattle in the Camargue
The Camargue is home to more than 400 species of birds and has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. Its brine ponds provide one of the few European habitats for the greater flamingo. The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, notably (and notoriously) some of the most ferocious mosquitos to be found anywhere in France. Camargue horses (Camarguais) roam the extensive marshlands, along with Camargue cattle (see below).
The native flora of the Camargue have adapted to the saline conditions. Sea lavender and glasswort flourish, along with tamarisks and reeds.

A cold and rainy evening in Pittsburgh made for some atmospheric conditions. I really enjoyed photographing in Pittsburgh; there's a lot of modern architecture and several great vantage points of the city's skyline.
No snowy conditions nearby recently but we did have some nice frosts and this was a particulalrly lovely morning with some nice light for a change. I've photographed this area of the New Forest over quite a few years now - a rather scruffy, non-descript area but for some reason I keep being drawn back and have managed some of my favourite images from this small area of heath and coniferous plantation. There has been a lot if thinning and clearance over the last year or so which has "cleaned up" this heathland - for the better I think - seemingly to return it to natural heathland. I'd stood here for about an hour (thanks to neoprene wellies, feet still toasty!) and had intended a long shot as the light hit the distant trees - but it was the wider view that appealed and although there was early colour in the sky before sun-up, it was the last shot I took with light just starting to hit the foreground, that I liked best in the end.
A large western red cedar lies on its side in the Ross Creek Cedars area in Northwest Montana. The grove of massive cedars, hundreds of years old, and has managed to escape both fires and logging to become a popular destination for visitors to the region.
Last summer was a dry one in Montana, and there was a nearby fire that threatened the grove. Thankfully, its position in the landscape and proximity to a stream and wet conditions allowed it to survive another year.
This is an image of the planet Saturn during the evening of the 13 January. The planet is now rapidly sinking into the evening twilight and becoming more difficult from my location. This is likely to be my last image this apparition.
Conditions were difficult with challenging seeing, the planet in the sky above local roofs with the attendant thermal issues.
This RGB image was captured through separate RGB filters and despite the poor conditions Saturn's globe showing some subtle banding with some delicate pastel coloured hues. The colours are due to the interaction of different gases within Saturn's complex atmosphere with sunlight.
The planet presently resides in the constellation of Aquarius. Conditions should slowly improve for Northern Hemisphere observers of the planet in the coming years as the planet reaches a higher altitude in our skies.
Imaged with a Celestron C11, a ZWO 290MM camera and Baader RGB filters.
Thanks for looking!
Chasing the Bessemer usually ain't that hard if one step's on it a bit but I wouldn't recommend chasing in these weather conditions. After sliding thru a stop sign sideways & getting stuck behind people driving more sensible than me, this shot was had at Pennside with about 20 seconds to spare.
A wintery scene at Wise Een Tarn with the backdrop of the Coniston Fells beyond the Boat House.
I had rather forgotten about this image, until I was part way through reading Sir Ernest Shackleton's book "South" yesterday. The tale of his journey across the Weddell Sea in the small rowing boat, brought back this scene to mind. Although to be fair this would be paradise for him and his men with the tropical, calm scene here compared to the wild conditions they endured in Antartica.
Picture taken on a day out with the objective of doing some seascapes long exposures... But the sea was too angry. There is no picture that deserves my life.
While leaving this beautiful place, I looked backward one more time, hopping that the conditions were better...
"What a surprise... It seems that I won't go away with my pic"... I though.
conditions not to good
a bit murky ....

Just as life thrives in the crevices of rock, life also thrives in canyons where shad and moisture provide the right conditions to thrive.
In very murky conditions former London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Black 5 No. 44871 thunders past Lower Moor having just departed Evesham with The Cathedrals Express charter en route from London Victoria to Worcester Shrub Hill.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.
Some stunning conditions created by the 'Beast from the East'. I enjoyed a couple of very productive days around Lincolnshire. Here is the first of my offerings. this one will be added to my Heathland project, which you can view here.....

I shot this fence from the other side last year, under very similar conditions (sunset, fine weather), so apologies for the repetition if it looks familiar!
Happy Fence Friday

It was challenging winter conditions for a photo outing that morning: freezing temperatures of - 29 C, gusting winds of 40 km/h and three feet of snow. However, for us proud and true Canadians, cold temperatures and rapidly changing conditions throughout the winter are the norm for most of us.
Congratulations Team Canada on your GREAT win yesterday in Boston!

**************
Les conditions hivernales étaient difficiles pour une sortie photo ce matin-là : des températures glaciales de -29 °C, des vents soufflant à 40 km/h et trois pieds de neige. Cependant, pour nous, fiers et vrais Canadiens, les températures froides et les conditions changeantes tout au long de l'hiver sont la norme pour la plupart d'entre nous.
Félicitations à l’équipe canadienne pour sa GRANDE victoire hier à Boston !

A Sunday morning dawn shoot at Potter Point during the long weekend. Spring has sprung with some seriously warm conditions for this time of year with 30C+ temperatures.
Shooting from the cliffs today as one of my cleats broke but the rock shelf was fairly tame anyway with low tide and swell.
Sunrise was okay with a few clouds (Saturday had clear skies) but this cloud bank lit up towards the south away from the sun.
6 stop ND + 3 stop grad ND
PS: I mistakenly have the photographer in the background. Will be cloned out when I get home. Neville mentioned perspective below but with the wide angle lens it gives the opposite view ie the rocks are only about waist level high. I took the shot from down low and the other guy was some distance behind the rocks. Note that the other photographer was (in my opinion) shooting the wrong direction!
=> All fixed now
Background Story: I took this photo on Nov 23rd, 2013 from my dining room window first thing in the morning. The atmospheric condition was a combination of light snow and fog caused perhaps because the ground was still warm. I was fascinated by this scene because it looked mysterious and beautiful, something i don't often encounter in my area. I live on Lake Ontario, Canada.
