We don’t always get the conditions we wish for regardless of planning. Not getting out of late I was desperate for an outing. With a keen eye on the weather for several days I could see we were going to get a change with subzero temperatures forecasted. Where I planned to visit was expecting snow/sleet the day before, so on Wednesday morning scraping the ice from the windscreen inside and out my hopes were high, 45 miles later I knew it was another better luck next time. It was very cold (-7) but surprisingly little frost, so I set out with for the walk more than the photography. I usually see no one when I go to this forest but today I met the Forestry England Wildlife Range on a roe deer management mission. We had a lovely chat and a play with his thermal monocular using his bonny border terrier as a wildlife substitute, for any wildlife photographer it would be a suburb bit of kit. He’d already culled a deer which he warned was still lying along the track waiting for collection. Luckily my route was soon going to take me into the tree’s so I would avoid the poor deer. I’m anti-hunting and dislike sport hunting but this chap was a professional and it was a job not sport. I understand the issues with deer with no natural predators, so I’m pro rewilding and this chap was of the same mind. We had an interesting chat about the reintroduction of Lynx and could of talked all morning but I said my goodbyes and had a great day discovering to new oaks and a smashing walk in the hills. This photo from Dec 2022 is the sort of conditions I was hoping for, I still haven’t decided if any photos I took today will see the light.
The conditions have really closed in on us now, with cold winds blowing rain at us at over 40mph (65kph), but still, one has to get a selfie at the summit, and here I am at the first one of the day, Mayar, with the our 2nd in the distant gloom, Driesh.
After a trip back up to Aberdeen for meetings at the office, I stayed a little longer to climb Mayar and Driesh. Mayar stands at 928 meters (3044 feet) and is my 29th Munro, and gives me the 10% of Munro's bagged I have always wanted. Driesh, at 947 meters (3106 feet), is my 30th Munro and the 2nd of the two I climbed this day.
Lovely clear conditions were a surprise for the evening of Friday 15th March. The beautiful moon was hard to ignore so I captured this image.
The waxing moon was 36% illuminated when I imaged it and was in the constellation of Taurus.
The centrally peaked crater Theophilus near the moon's centre is particularly dramatically illuminated as it emerges from the lunar terminator into lunar dawn. Early light just catching the central peak and part of the crater's walls.
Also the walls of crater Proclus (with its associated rays), towards the top of the image and near the Mare Crisium, are catching the sun's light strongly.
Proclus is second in albedo only to crater Aristarchus.
Imaged with an Esprit 120ED and a ZWO 2600MC camera.
Thanks for looking!
We just finished our first Into The Cypress Swamps photo tour in Texas and Louisiana, and we had a blast. A wonderful group, amazing fall colours, and the best photographic conditions we could wish for. Next year we’re going to run 3 swamp tours, and we’re already looking forward to those.
Here’s Daniella paddling in one of the hidden treasures of the Atchafalaya Basin.

Sometimes the conditions we deal with no matter how tough or easy doesn't matter much in the end. What really matters it seems is "Did You Get" what you wanted or did you get what you needed.

Image 52 in this series of the capturing of the BULB capture. Here it is of pretty Acadia, Maine in monotone afternoon. The LCD screen is photoshopped in from the long exposure capture being taken at this time. This is first in this series that delves into the world of B&W. Fitting for this mid-day capture on the pretty rocks under some sunny conditions.

Here's a nerve-racking shot taken from Round Butte Oregon, two hours before total eclipse.
The conditions weren't looking good as Ralf Rohner and I set up our gear to capture the Eclipse in it's totality. After piling out of my sleeping bag and observing the conditions I was immediately regretting my decision to leave Smith Rock and seek a more open location further to the north and more west out of the smoke. As it turned out we went deeper into the situation as there was another smaller fire burning 5 miles to the west of the butte. Now at this point, it's impossible to get anywhere on pavement because of the insane crowds, so changing locations was out of the question. Damn it!! All these fires in California and I go to Oregon and get smoked out by more wildfires, just my luck!!! The day before, Ralf and I checked the area for a campground to stay at, but of course those where all sold out months in advance. So, as we rolled through town we noticed there were several farmers that had plowed their fields into campgrounds and were naming them with catching names, like the Eclipse Campground, or Skywatchers Campground. Intruged Ralf and I stopped in to see what they wanted for a spot. 100 dollars a night per car. Holy crap, I've stayed in a hotel in Denver for less than that and 10 dollars for a skinny bundle of wood. I told him No thanks, but, as a parting shot ask if a bottle of KY jelly was included, He wasn't amused or didn't get it, I'm not sure which, Hehe. :)😜

Not the best conditions for shots of the bridge from North Queensferry on the day but this is my take on the Forth Bridge such as it is.
Bleak conditions in the Brecon Beacons earlier today. This is the view across from Corn Du to Pen y Fan. Bitterly cold and high winds made for an interesting climb up to Pen Y Fan and some difficult photography. All images had to be taken 'hand held' as placing my camera onto a tripod would have seen it leaving Brecon and ending up in the Bristol Channel. LOL. Hope you like the images.
Absolutely wonderful conditions in the New Forest yesterday which I very nearly missed! I had set the alarm for 04.15, however a quick glance out of the window suggested that the dawn might not be that special so I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.
Fortunately I woke again at 05.00 and by then the Moon could be seen through some thin cloud with a hint of mist forming. I hurriedly got ready and headed into the ‘Forest deciding to see what conditions were like at Mogshade.
I’m so pleased I made the effort as mornings like this don’t come around that often. A classic case of; ‘if you don’t go, you don’t know’!

=====================
Although shabby apartment buildings are mostly to be seen in the old Rodrigo neighbourhood, some of the older houses reflect how strenuous the workers' life conditions must have been back in the day.
Conditions came together for me as a Utah Railway local from Provo, passed through Salt Lake City at 8:45 p.m. on July 14, 2019. The sun's rays appeared at the last second, ducking beneath an opaque cloud bank. The sleepy moon in the sky was an unexpected bonus.
...of bad conditions. Having only one morning a week to get out with my camera can be very frustrating, especially as I am at the mercy of the weather. Once again this week there was some fantastic conditions though the week while I was at work, then more flat grey skies on my day off. This is the 3rd week in a row now so I am hoping for some better conditions before autumn is over, especially now the colours are really starting to change. This is a crop from a wider pano that I shot at Thirlmere yesterday morning where water levels are still very low.
Fantastic conditions to wander amongst the Herefordshire woodland. Early start well rewarded with solitude and light.

Great winter conditions on the Crinkle ridge. The sun was actually quite warm; probably the last snow shots of this particularly warm year.
The conditions weren't very favourable to get this quick shot, buried under thick foliage at the Ipswich Nature Centre. It was further complicated by the heavy Sigma Sport lens which would have been close to its minimum focussing distance.
But at least these beautiful little pair of Cockatiels were happy in the big aviary at the Centre. Sadly most of the animals seemed to have gone out for the day!

Kuilei Cliffs Beach Park lies at the foothills of Diamond Head, between the Diamond Head Lighthouse and the residential community of Ka'alawai.The 11-acre beach park has a narrow beach backed by sea cliffs. The beach sand has a greenish hue and glitters in the sun. The sand along this stretch of coastline has already made an impression to early sailors. In 1825, British sailors noticed small sparkling calcite crystals in the beach sand along the crater's foothills and sea cliffs. They named the crater Diamond Hill. This name was later changed to Diamond Head. This is how the crater got its English name.
There are three popular drive-in lookouts along Diamond Head Road that offer sweeping views of this stretch of coastline (like the photograph above). To get to the beach, walk down the paved trail, located between two of the lookouts. The swimming conditions aren't good here because the nearshore ocean bottom is shallow and has a reef. However, this beach is a surfers' paradise as the reef generates waves almost every day and it is a lot less crowded here than in Waikiki. When the tradewinds are strong, this area is also popular among windsurfers.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Finally all the right conditions to get on the skis and get back into the back country. This was the location of a major bridge washout in the floods a couple of years ago. Now there is a temp bridge and work is underway to construct a new one.

Wonderful conditions in the north of England today as 'Mayflower' and 'British India Line' doubleheaded the Cumbrian Mountain Express up Shap and back down the S&C. (Passing Birkett Common)
Frozen conditions at Paesens-Moddergat, just outside of the dike (Friesland ,the Netherlands..). Normally those old poles are impossible to reach because of the mud, but now I could profit of this rare opportunity.
As I wait for my return flight home from a rather damp Croatia (I gave yet to start to review the pictures from the trip) I thought I would post another reminder of the cracking snowy conditions we found in the Dolomites.
This shot shows Mike and Craig, shortly after leaving the summit station of the Passo Pordoi gondola as they head towards the distant Piz Boe.
We have very windy conditions today, unfriendly weather for butterflies. This little fellow was battered around and seemed to gladly find safe harbor on my outstretched hand. I was able to get a good look at him, they don't seem to be made of anything more than fairy dust.
Since my one hand was occupied and I was using a manual focus lens, i focused by moving the camera back and forth. Learned that from a one armed sailor.
Today, Bonny and I explored Point Reyes National Park this morning. These are iconic locations for photographers. It wasn't ideal lighting conditions being a foggy day. But we had fun exploring anyway.
Some sublime early morning light whilst up high on Axe Edge Moor. I was blinded by mist on the ascent to the summit and the eerie silence was only broken by the call of Grouse nesting in the blossoming heather nearby. As the mist cleared the landscape revealed itself, slowly but surely.
Axe edge Moor is the 8th highest hill in the Peak District at 1818 feet. The moor is shared between the counties of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Superb conditions up in the north Lakes yesterday - snow was over knee-deep in places.
The hill in the middle is Birks / St Sunday Crag, and the valley is Patterdale. Ullswater is just on view on the right. If you look closely you can see a very faint rainbow - see if you can spot it.
Bad shot in bad light conditions (past half past eight in the evening) but I'm very glad I caught it - against all odds.
Yesterday, the entire day it looked as if I wasn't going to see AF1 because of the runways in use at LHR and BRU and thus its expected route.
Then, as AF1 entered Belgian airspace they changed the departing and landing runways at Brussels Airport which took it straight overhead (very much to the disappointment of others who had expected to see it).
On a different note: last night a doomsday plane departed from Joint Base Andrews for Brussels. I was crazy enough to set my alarm clock to get up again after 4 hours of sleep, only to find out that it was taking a different route for Brussels...
PS - I won't be uploading much for a while - enjoying summer and learning Blender geometry nodes.
We had rain and overcast conditions the whole day yesterday... but we got three minutes of great light at sunset.
Fortunately I was in the right place at the right time to be able to capture it... in the middle of a wheat field, on a farm near Durbanville.
Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm, aperture of f11, with a 1/15th second exposure.

shot on a bitterly cold and windy day while hiking mount pierce (aka clinton). fortunately exposure on this hike is limited to the last quarter mile or so.
I put one chemical hand warmer in my camera bag and put the other one in my right mitten, which I needed to take off (for no more than 30 seconds at a time, in these conditions) to take a photograph.
the crawford path was established in 1819 and is " the oldest mountain hiking trail in the United States."
