Misty conditions created these lovely colour and light effects as the rising sun emerged from behind a low cloud front. By shooting for HDR, and positioning the sun behind the branches of the trees, I managed to control the contrast enough to bring out good colour and reasonable detail throughout the image. The layer of mist was quite shallow, as the blue sky top right of the picture will testify, so I had to work fairly quickly before the contrast levels became too great even for HDR to handle effectively.
On the whole though, a pretty straightforward shot on a simply stunning morning, an absolute dream for creating misty glows and colour effects.
Winter conditions in the Rhinogydd hills a great breathing space within Snowdonia.

Early flowering Lavender.
[ Munstead ]
Bloom times highly depend on weather conditions.
Lavender has long been cultivated for it's
high quality oil.
Taken in very dark conditions with the RF800mm lens which isn't renowned for its low light performance.
This is a very light variant and looked to be in good condition. There was another SEO sat on the adjacent post and this one dive bombed it, chasing it away before calmly circling round and alighting on the next post. Wonderful to see - although I sadly missed a shot of the action.
Conditions were perfect last Friday evening at Our Lady's Island for some sunset photography. The lake was very still with little or no winds and nice high clouds illuminated by the setting sun, it was simply beautiful.
In smoky, moody conditions. Taken back in September on my way back to Seattle from Spokane somewhere between Wilbur & Grand Coulee
Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker "Amundsen" at the Coast Guard Station in Quebec City. Ice forming quickly on the St. Lawrence River. Cold but clear weather conditions.
Perfect conditions at Bromford Bridge greeted the arrival of 20205 and 20007 running as 6F34 the 09:15 Kings Norton to Old Dalby off for another TfW Tram/Train move. A real pleasure to chat with Mr Payne here.
Freezing conditions and a brisk westerly wind helps layer ice on this pier at Balmy Beach, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Conditions that I'd longed to experience on the Settle and Carlisle line, as the 2H90 13.18 Leeds to Carlisle approaches us.
Later we saw two northbound freights here in the sun - wonderful!
Best viewed 'large' so you can see the train!
Brutal shooting conditions on this particular visit to Botallack. Strong winds generated some nice water movement and drama within this particular scene. With a second lockdown coming into force towards the end of the week I spent a good few hours shooting and made my way back up the cliff once it was dark.
Great to also meet fellow Flickr friend Brian Spicer.
Thanks for viewing, take care and have a great weekend :-)
Test with my new Sigma 1:1.8, 18-35mm Art Lens. Shot at f 2.0 to test the Bokeh. Not ideal weather conditions, no sun in the morning - maybe next time. At the moment the snow is gone, what a pity!
Mount Ngauruhoe is an active volcano in Tongariro National Park here in New Zealand. 2,291m elevation. I have been lucky to climb this amazing mountain in both summer and winter conditions. Although often regarded as a separate mountain, geologically it is a secondary cone of Mount Tongariro. A very special and spiritual spot. Rather than making a more common wide angel landscape shot I decided to experiment with a telephoto lens shot. This created a very different way of seeing and composing the image. Interesting. The gorgeous lighting was changing fast. It was fascinating to watch how the colour of the sky and reflections in the clouds changed from deep red to dark blue over less than 20 minutes.
Challenging conditions with crazy winds and splashing waves made for a crazy shoot along Saint Mary Lake in Glacier National Park. No matter what the conditions are this place is off the hook and I can't wait to go back!
A memorable evening at Elgol where conditions were constantly changing as Storm Dennis barreled across the Isle of Skye. We were treated to ever changing conditions, including a rising tide, gale force winds, driving rain, hail pellets, snow, grey skies, broken clouds, flat light which was often quickly followed with moments of gorgeous golden hour light.
We were a group of 7 togs dashing about capturing as many images as we could, in conditions we had only dreamed of before. For some reason, a majority of us eventually ended up at the JCB (Joe Cornish Boulder) . . . fortunately we all ‘played well’ together and sharp elbows were rarely needed. In the distance can be seen the snow capped Cuillins.
I flew from Minnesota to spend nearly a week with 5 friends/togs on a winter holiday on Skye. I even got the opportunity to meet and shoot with SkyeWeasel.
This was the end of my first day on Skye, as I was walking back to the car in darkness I thought to myself how lucky I was!

The conditions were very overcast but I waited a little while for a bit of light to shine through the clouds behind me. After this it was off to the Mount for sunset!
Thanks very much for viewing. Have a great weekend :-)
Mega conditions at Greenholme today though it was full fog half an hour earlier. 35018 "British India Line flattening Shap with 13 on and a Class 47 not doing much if anything. 1Z86 10.57 Lancaster - Carlisle "Santa Special" Spine tingling stuff!
Note the exhaust hanging in the gorge from Tebay.
Sunday 1 December 2019.
Wonderful conditions on the fell on Monday morning, too good to stay inside working. Most of the snow had gone by tea time.

Quand les conditions naturelles de lumiere sont optimales pour mettre en valeur une fleur du sublime Zygopetalum maxillare dans les montagnes la forêt atlantique du Brésil dans l’état de Río de Janeiro. Une des espèces que j’espérais le plus observer fleurie in situ (dans mon top 3) durant mon voyage ! Photo avec le téléphone.
When natural light conditions are optimal to show the beauty of a gorgeous Zygopetalum maxillare flower in the mountains of the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil in Río de Janeiro state. One of the species I was hoping the most (in my top 3) to see blooming in situ during my trip ! Picture with the phone.

The return run of the Murder Mystery Dining train for Bolton Abbey, 52322 lays a hanging exhaust which was still there many minutes after the train had passed, At -7 degrees, an overnight hoar frost clings to the trees, the passengers being treat to truly wintry conditions. Great shame this turned out to be the only steam run.

It seems to have taken me an age to get around to shooting at this location despite passing it several times going to various places.
A very overcast day provided decent conditions for this sort of image and a chance to test out a 15 stop filter than I had yet to use.
I don't know who calculates the exposure times for the filters on the LEE system but I've never had one yet that is anything like the given times on the exposure sheets , this one is no different and I basically don't bother with the sheets and work solely off the histogram as it saves time in the long run despite adding minutes extra on top of the 'guide exposure', this one ending up being nearly 8 minutes long with the guide suggesting around 4 minutes from memory.
This is a really beautiful spot and definitely one I'll come back to again in different conditions, the snow on the tops was still visible and the tree totally bare giving a really stark feel to the image along with the long exposure. This tree must have had a good few batterings up here during Winter but as the title of the image indicates, it remains resolute and defiant. If you do visit the food in the nearby pub at Balmaha is fantastic after a cold morning stood on the shore here..
Conditions have been very good this autumn for spotting lots of different fungi in our woodland and I came across this little cluster looking so fragile on the ground surrounded by fallen leaves. I am not sure what type they are but they do have a detain charm about them don't you think.
Die Lichtverhätnisse waren schon für mich etwas schwierig , da der Kratzbaum vor einem Fenster steht.
The lighting conditions were a bit difficult for me because the cat tree is in front of a window.
In Pyrénées mountains, calm water of the Arcizans-Avant lake ... and a charming watermirror, perfect conditions to take a photo with water reflections.
In hot summer conditions 70807 rounds the curve towards West Trent junction with the 6E32 Preston to Lindsey Oil Refinery empties. The train was one of many diverted via the Brigg line due to a landslip on the main Scunthorpe route.

An afternoon of challenging conditions, I got the briefest of gifts for my efforts climbing Cairn Gorm the interesting way via the Fiacaill Buttress. It's moments like these that are the cherry on top for me, The ridge in the distance is the route I took up. An enjoyable and exposed scramble in the Cairngorm National Park, Scotland.
My favourite conditions, a massive temperature inversion due to a switch wot a warm southerly system, great sunrise, lovely golden light and a big storm cloud approaching. The only thing missing was a rainbow... This is a 5 x exposure 2 shot panoramic stitch. The only unpleasant thing was the 3.30am alarm call…

My next three shots, including the above seen one, are devoted to the combination of HDR processing along with Orton Effect. An atmospheric effect that suits more (in my opinion) still subjects !!! An effect that transforms the image from a plain, good no doubt frame, into a "blurred" yet absolutely "concrete" photographic message !!! Into an absolutely refined "dreamy" concept !!! Keep your eyes still on the tree for example and you will "feel" more than its plain figure !!! You will feel its very three dimensional existence !!!
I definitely encourage you to try it my friends !!!! See my personal attempts on this "stunning" photo processing alternative "point of view" !!! www.flickr.com/photos/emil9497photography__art/sets/72157... ..... Some more will follow !!!

The Beast from the East 2 has hit Teignmouth but this brave sole battles arctic conditions as if exercising his right to vote in an election.
Seems like Putin is riding his luck with all this footage of corruption in the polling stations.
If people feel that voting is rigged would they brave arctic conditions to vote ? would all hope be lost and hopelessness the norm.?
Two voyagers pass on the sea wall.
The 0610 Derby to Plymouth and this old guy with a can of special brew held tightly in his hand. I wonder where his voyage will take him.

This was the first of two days spent on the Conway Scenic Raileoad as part of a four day mini railfan vacation in Northern New England that would feature GP38s in glorious conditions...simply the kind of trip dreams are made of!
Instead of running all the way to Fabyans as in prior fall seasons, this year the Conway Scenic is running two daily round trips between North Conway and Crawfords with the addition of a third 'bus train' for passengers arriving by motor coach from Portland off a cruise ship as a day shore excursion. That means that now there are six trains running through the Notch every day with a scheduled meet at Bartlett and Sawyers River...it truly is astonishing and a joy to see this line so busy!
The returning 9 AM eastbound Mountaineer is passing the old granite milepost 62 as they climb Intervale Hill on the two mile tangent up from the truss bridge over the East Branch at the bottom of the hill. This spot was one of the most famous photo locations along the old Maine Central's Mountain Sub mainline because you could capture the entirety of a 100 car freight strung out as they climbed the grade. This is one of only two places where you can include Mount Washington with the train and on those rare clear days like this it is a sight to behold rising dramatically 16 miles away.
Located in the Presidential Range Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288.2 ft and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. The summit is probably most famous for having the highest wind speed ever recorded on earth (not associated with a tornado or tropical cyclone) of 231 mph recorded on April 12, 1934 by the observatory located there!
Leading the train are GP38s 255 and 252 which are right at home here having been built in November 1966 for the Maine Central Railroad as part of an order of 13 of the model which were the first batch of second generation diesel locomotives purchased by the road. They both regularly operated here for the first 17 years of their lives until the last thru freight ran in 1983 after Guilford purchased the MEC and shuttered the Mountain Sub. In fact 252 had the ignominious duty of leading the final YR-1 from Saint Johnsbury on September 2, 1983.
255 came to Conway Scenic in 2022 and wore her Vermont Rail System red paint until just this past June when she received this new 'old' dress. The VTR red was from her nearly two decade second career as Clarendon & Pittsford 203 after having being sold by MEC successor Guilford Transportation in the early 1990s. 252 meanwhile was the last of her class in service on Guilford, lasting more than three decades, and having seen her other dozen siblings retired and scrapped or sold. She came to Conway Scenic in March 2010 along with GP35 216 in a trade with Pan Am Railways for FP9s 6505 and 6516 that would become Pan Am's OCS power.
