Foggy conditions were forecast so made an early start to get there before all the parking spaces were taken up. For once the weatherman was right.
Each February, if the conditions are right, Horsetail falls morphs into something known as the Firefall. It can only happen during about 14 days in late February and the confluence of conditions needed to make it happen is kind of mind boggling.
It requires the right amount of snow in the weeks before, the right amount of sun the days before (to melt the snow) and a sunny day with few or no clouds in or west of the park. When all of those things happen together, a sunset in the park is absolute magic.
I'd first seen the firefall about 3 years ago and while it was interesting it wasn't anything like we saw on Saturday. The volume of water was creating orange mist all around the falls and was truly awesome. One of the other photographers I was traveling with who is my best expert on shooting the park called it the best he's seen in 6 years.

Moody conditions at the head of the Wasdale Valley.
The cliffs of Great Gable emerged briefly from the clouds and I caught this image. I think the mono treatment helps convey the atmosphere around the summit. I had been up there earlier in poor visibility and this was a reminder of how quickly conditions can change in the Lakeland Fells.
Conditions were much whiter a year ago on the slopes of Chrome Hill. Parkhouse looked impressive in its temporary coat
The weather seems to be in the doldrums at present and little new content is being posted
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.
It rained on every one of the twelve days we were in Scotland - maybe I’d just been lucky in those earlier visits, but I’d never seen it like this before. Last time we hiked near Glencoe, we did so in a heatwave that lasted a week. Now, a month further into the height of summer, conditions were decidedly more Baltic than Bahamian. It was cold and it was wet. Very wet. There was nothing for it but to buckle up and roll with the punches. No point in bleating about the weather - this was Scotland after all.
On the second Saturday, towards tea time we drove up through a particularly saturnine looking Glencoe, charged with threatening skies and dark intent. We’d already stopped in a layby near the bottom of the pass, and then the big car park overlooking the Three Sisters. Just to enjoy the unfolding drama as I stepped for the briefest moments into the world outside the van to take potshots at the landscape. One final stop was in my plans. One last moment of opportunism by the Glencoe waterfall near the top. And thanks to a local YouTuber whose channel had appeared as if by divine intervention in my feed a couple of months before making the trip, I had a plan of sorts. A plan that I hoped might bring a slightly lower viewing point from the one by the pull in next to the road. One that wouldn’t involve crossing the road.
Well ok I did cross the road, very carefully I might add, to take a look at the view everyone else was enjoying, just to compare it with what I hoped was lying in wait. But you really don’t cross the road in these parts without looking in each direction about a hundred and fifty times if you can avoid it. The views may be leaving jaws hanging just above the tarmac here, but this is the main route to the Western Highlands and islands and you really don’t want to be messing about with the traffic. And although I was now back on the wrong side of the road for the standard view of the waterfall, I was ready to deploy the insider hack. An improved view, and best of all, shelter from the rain. No constant battles with the rocket blower and lens cloth where I was going. Because while most trolls have kept pace with the digital revolution and now carry out their murky business from secret bunkers hidden in dark spaces at the back of the interweb, this one was strictly old school, opting instead for a rather more traditional setting; under a bridge on the A82.
What was especially pleasing was how easy the cheat route was. Sometimes you see this stuff online and it looks like a doddle. But then you make your way to the place that’s going to make life so much easier, only to arrive in front of a brand new eight foot barbed wire fence, humming with the unmistakable sound of two million volts, or a twenty metre high precipice beside a huge treacherous green sheet of rock that your guide forgot to mention. Sulkily, you end up crossing the corridor of doom two more times to stand next to the Instaselfie brigade, only to end up with an underwhelming result that never sees the light of day. But today was exactly as hoped for. There was the entrance to the magical kingdom beneath the bridge, just as I’d seen it on my screen at home, with only the smallest amount of graffiti, which I supposed had been left for decorative purposes by some previous occupant trolls.
Messaging Ali, who was as ever waiting patiently in the van, I told her I hadn’t succumbed to a thirty-eight tonne lorry and was still alive. I was reassured a few moments later to learn from her response that my continued existence on Planet Earth was “ok,” and that she wouldn’t have to drive the van all the way home to Cornwall on her own. Then I crept out of the rain and down to the sanctity of the rumbling bridge. Nobody else had found the place and this troll was happily alone without a billy goat in sight; not even a gruff one. Now I was roughly ten feet lower than everyone else who was enjoying this view, no longer on top of the waterfall, but looking more or less directly across the void towards it. The new perspective felt palpably more pleasing than the one above had, and best of all, I was dry. One or two hardy adventurers had climbed over the opposite wall on the bridge to scramble to a position right beside the top of the waterfall. Not all of them were wearing waterproofs. At least I had a diesel heater in the van to keep the chills at arm’s length later. The smugness indicator level on the back of my camera was currently hovering at the edge of the red zone.
I only needed a handful of shots to be happy enough, some of them zooming into the details, others capturing the entire majestic drop. Again, the weather conditions that had made photography so difficult over the last seven days were adding to the huge volumes of white water careering down into the shallow bowl. Had the weather been dry, this might have been little more than a trickle under harsh light in early July. The endless rains may have made hiking more bracing than it would otherwise have been, but here they were proving a formidable ally in these brief moments behind the camera. Photographically speaking at least, it was everything the troll beneath the bridge could have hoped for.
Rough seeing conditions and a focal length limited camera gave me just enough resolution to get some of the details.
Early morning dash for Corfe Castle. Conditions looked good for mist and colour in the sky. No wind, broken cloud, cool temps. Haha not a chance. Most boring conditions known to man. Zero mist, zero cloud, zero colour, zero atmosphere.... . And to make things worse large parts of the castle are buried beneath scaffolding. 😭 And to add to that there is the largest banner ever draped down the bank in front of the castle all enthusiasm for photography evaporated away in an instant. And then people in pajamas turned up and stood there chatting. A very bizarre morning.
Important note if you are thinking of going to Corfe Castle. We were told the restoration works are ongoing for two years. Just something to factor in when visiting for a photo session. Another photographer did say the sunset view from the opposite hill is unaffected.
We decided to leave the hill and the people, try to find a view point that hid the scaffolding and banner. And found ourselves in front of what used to be a siege castle built by King Stephen in his attempt to take Corfe Castle. He failed (a bit like me trying to photograph it). But hundreds of years later Cromwell's forces pitched up and used the same site as a base for their siege weapons. Only earthworks remain of the castle today.
Anyway, this shot was taken as I walked down the hill. This all gave me flash backs to my last Corfe visit where the only useable image was taken with my phone. The exact same image, from the exact same spot. Except they have fitted brand new stone steps now. Which do stand out a lot more than the previous wooden steps.
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.
Famara has been nominated as one of the best beaches for teaching surf in the Canary Islands. The weather conditions and the nature of the waves make this beach the perfect place to practice this sport.
Since the conditions for outdoor photography were so challenging today, I'm adding this female northern shoveler's portrait that I took along the Mississippi River last Saturday. The lighting was much better then😊. She should be able to shovel in the seeds when feeding with that huge bill😁.

Very low light conditions, but managed to capture this cheetah as it stalked its way near the road.

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!

All light & rays are natural. On the 30th of April we had perfect conditions (about 3 degrees celsius, sun & fog), so i decided to take an early walk with my dogs on this Sunday. Now we have to wait here until fall to see this again.

Wild coast - Breezy conditions and some choppy conditions across Loch Scavaig with the waves crashing in onto this wild coastline.
The iconic view over to the dramatic Black Cuillin with some excellent late afternoon sunlight catching the rocks at Elgol.
Elgol, Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
Saturday's misty conditions weren't great for photographing wildlife and we didn't see a great deal. It was worth a try to catch this Kestrel when it landed on the top of a pine tree and the results weren't too bad, with a bit of processing.
Conditions on Friday night looked great for some night time photography, with a new moon and no clouds, so I headed up to Holy Island for a shoot.
This is a 3 shot panoramic (taken in portrait mode) and stitched in photoshop.

There were a lot of conditions working against making this photo. It was very windy on the open water and it shook the camera so I stood upwind to shelter it and rested my hand on it to steady it and turned on the sensor stabilizer, but still couldn't eliminate camera shake. It was dark because the sun set 20 or 30 minutes before moonrise so I had to use long shutter speeds which let the moon blur because it moves so fast. You wouldn't believe how fast it moves unless you're trying to take a picture of it. My cheap lens created heavy chromatic aberrations around the bright moon. The top half had a green fringe and the bottom half had a red fringe, which I was able to fix in processing. The one good thing was there were no clouds on the horizon and the moon was visible all the way from the ground up, which is pretty rare. This is the Seagirt Marine Terminal as seen from Ferry Bar Park in Port Covington.
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.

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 :-)

The ship was built from 1906 to 1908 at the Thyen shipyard in Brake an der Weser as a three-mast schooner with emergency sails and put into service in 1908 as a lightship Außeneneider. It lay with interruptions until 1944 on the position Außeneider before the mouth of the Eider into the North Sea, in the years 1914 to 1916 on position Süderpiep. In 1918/19 it was involved in military operations in the Baltic Sea. In 1931 an engine was installed. From 1945 to 1948 it was used as a guard ship on the forced mine route P 11-P 15 in the German Bight. 1949 to 1953 it was a replacement lightship for the position Amrumbank (P 15). 1954 and 1956 it came to different changes. The beacon has been amplified, a radio beacon has been retrofitted. In the years from 1956 to 1965 it was used as reserve Holtenau (reserve lightship) on the positions Flensburg, Kiel and Fehmarnbelt, 1961 short time on Elbe 1 and then from 1965 to 1984 under its today's name on position in the Fehmarnbelt. On 31 March 1984 it was the last German lightship to be decommissioned on the Baltic Sea; the position was taken over by an unmanned large buoy.
In the same year, the ship served as Hatteras'; film ship for the shooting of the US feature film The Lightship (based on the story The Lightship by Siegfried Lenz) on Sylt. It has been a museum ship since 1986.
Today, the ship belongs to the non-profit association Feuerschiff für Lübeck e. V. and has been moored at Behnkai in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in front of the Media Docks on the northern Wallhalbinsel since autumn 2009. It is kept in running order and since 1989 has made trips in the summer to test all the facilities under sea conditions; it is also possible to visit them on board.

Rare monsoonal conditions migrated into the Sacramento Valley this summer, offering an array of nice pastels for a sunset photoshoot. May your skies be colorful! E.
I’d been to this spot a number of times, but I’d never experienced conditions like this. Saying that I was excited for this to unfold would be a considerable understatement. As always, temperamental changing weather brought magic. This was the front end of a storm rolling in - the combination of still water, warm light breaking through the clouds, and haze/rain in the distance didn’t last long. After just a few minutes the wind picked up destroying the reflection - if you look close you can see the rain had already started when I captured this image.
Also, one of my favourite things about editing and reviewing images is finding the little details I missed when I was shooting. If you look close on the right hand side of the image you’ll see a fellow camper in awe of the scene unfolding as well. I had no idea he/she was in this scene when I shot it - I was too excited about the conditions! I still have no idea who this is, but I like to think it's someone I spoke to while camping there. Their body language really echoed how I was feeling in the moment frankly - just drop what you’re doing and get a look at this!
Blizzard conditions at sunrise in Derbyshire's Peak District National park. Waiting in the dark with extreme weather for the sun to rise, there was no sign of the cloud lifting, but I didn't give up hope. Just a few seconds of light was all I got and was all I needed to light up the blizzard.

DBC Class 60 no 60044 at Collingham in horrible conditions with the morning's Lindsay to Kingsbury Tanks.
In lovely summer evening conditions 73963 (73961 on the rear) leads 1Q52 1046 Eastleigh East Yard to Eastleigh East Yard NetworkRail test train soon after passing Shalford Junction heading souith along the Portsmouth Direct line. The North Downs rise in the background to enhance a scene seemingly unchanged for many years. This train usually operates monthly and its route includes Portsmouth (twice) and Littlehampton and almost all its itinerary is on third rail electrified lines and as can be seen here the loco's current collection shoes are lowered.
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 :-)
Patagonia's Mt. Fitz Roy greets the sunrise with a violent enthusiasm. This mount is dramatic under even mundane conditions, but under a dramatic sky, the result is soul-stirring to the most jaded of men (and women).
A 200mm telephoto did a sublime job of collapsing the miles of rubble in the foreground.
I have to go back.
Cheers!

The little town of Tullah has a rich history which we'll explore once we get into the body of the photographs from this series. But it is surrounded by mountains, lakes and forests of myrtle, sassafras and eucalypts.
The weather when this photograph was taken was very overcast with heavy rain on the way. Under these light conditions Lomochrome Purple film softens the colours and the purples are deeper.
