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 here 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.
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!

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.

Great to find them out in the open at the moment. We went to WTP in the early morning and conditions were just right
Given favorable atmospheric conditions, sunrise at Paradise can be stunning and double that when it’s peak fall colors as it was the first weekend in October. An explosion of autumnal color carpeted the Paradise landscape in fiery reds, yellows and oranges – it was sensory elation but manic when trying to zero in on a composition so I settled on this view. While the morning sun bathed the face of Mount Rainier in soul-tingling light , the autumnally painted ridge in this image would remain in shadow until the sun rose higher – but by then the special light on the mountain would be long gone. There’s a waterfall coming through that gulch down into Edith Creek basin – hidden in this image. Earlier I had scouted the Golden Gate trail to see whether I could include that waterfall but I couldn’t get Mount Rainier placed compellingly in the background. Since that didn’t work out I planted myself along Skyline trail to get this image. I originally had the entire mountain in frame but the foreground meadow had too many random clumps of vegetation and trees, so I opted to crop for a tighter shot later. There had been some fresh snowfall during the past week so the mountain looked less bare.

Winter wonderland conditions at the Yorkshire Dales Railway as Lancashire and Yorkshire A Class 52322 takes the empty coaching stock to Bolton Abbey in readiness for the days " Murder Mystery Dining Train " running some 80 minutes late due to frozen points at Embsay. This would turn out to be the only out and return steam trip of the day as access to water for the engine was not possible.
Inversion at that gate on Mam Tor
Tuesday was amazing with a full inversion filling Hope Valley and majority of the Peak District.
For those who follow me on other social media channels will know that this is one of my fave locations in the Peaks, its justifiable with those conditions.
99 days from today the new California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park will open to the general public. Here's what it looks like on the backside at night.
Wonderful conditions on the fell on Monday morning, too good to stay inside working. Most of the snow had gone by tea time.
Weather conditions in Hastings were perfect this morning for another long exposure and a seagull also wanted to be a part of the shot as well :)
Difficult conditions at Trebarwith yesterday. Mega wind, sea and spray, slippery rocks and my cautious behaviour near such an unpredictable sea at high tide!
Beautiful to just be there!

Changing conditions on Curbar Edge. The mist formed in the valley below and rolled up and over the rocks in just a few minutes. Taken with the iPhone while out on my mountain bike
In rapidly fading light conditions and with the temperature dropping towards zero Colas Rail loco 43257 powers along the far north line between Georgemas Junction and Watten at Gillock on Sunday 19/1/2025 working 1Q78 1112 Inverness Milburn Yard to Inverness Milburn Yard via Wick Network Rail PLPR test train.
After a week when temperatures across the UK have hovered above a sweltering 30C/85F, I found myself longing for the chill and fog of early spring, and revisited a shot which I captured at the centre of Richmond Park in early April. On many mornings I'd hoped for calm conditions that would bring heavier fog, and before this particular sunrise the low wind speed and near-freezing temperature near the Pen Ponds created fog so dense that, for a couple of hours, visibility dropped to about 20 metres. As the sun finally crept above the woodland and created various shades of orange and pink on the horizon, I came across the bare branches of an oak tree, and next to it the remains of a broken tree trunk, part of which now lay on the ground. Something about this scene captivated me, so I stopped to capture it.
The image is a blend of seven bracketed exposures, and proved to be a fun editing project because of the contrast between intense foggy light around the sun and deep shadows covering the trees and foreground. I began by blending my exposures using luminosity masks, bringing up visibility of the tree trunks while toning down brightness around the sun. I then refined my own masks in order to select and intensify the fog in the background. This was achieved by duplicating the blue channel in the Channels Panel and using a Levels adjustment to increase the channel's contrast between Darks and Midtones, effectively removing the trees and grass from the selection. After extracting the highlights around the sun using a selection from my Brights luminosity masks, I was left with a selection of just the foggy background, where I blended in my brightest exposures using a combination of linear and reflective gradient masks.
Colour-grading the image was very straightforward, as the mixture of early-morning blues across the landscape and intense warm tones in the sky only needed a little emphasis. Using Colour Balance adjustments with Apply Image as a layer mask, I gave the midtones and shadows a colder finish, and targeted the brighter area around the sun to increase the reds and magentas in the highlights. Setting two low-opacity Colour Lookup adjustments to Soft Light, I then used the Foggy Night preset for the foreground and the Soft Warming preset for the sky.
Using Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I brought out a little of the tree trunks' texture using the Detail Extractor filter, and at the same time softened the detail in the sky using the Sunlight filter, which helped to bring out the hazy glow across the scene when I'd captured it. While I thought that viewers' eyes would gravitate to the sun emerging between the tree's branches, the tree and the trunks among the fog were what drew me to the scene, and I felt it was important to try to emphasise their weathered texture and, ultimately, their "character". There was something hopeful about the colour spreading across the horizon as the sun rose, but at the same time something poignant about a scene that seemed to tell a story of nature's brutality and illustrate how certain things, once broken, can't easily be healed or repaired.

What do I love about photographing the Iceland Highlands? The ever-changing conditions that often produce the most incredible light! One minute the sky could be dark and moody, the next a shaft of light could break through and usher in an intense rainbow. If you have not photographed the Iceland Highlands with us, you simply must! Our 2023 dates sold out right away but jump on our July 2024 dates. Registration just opened. See you in the wild!

Away from the beach and back to Colorado. This will be a short series taken the day I left for Florida. We had snow...fog...and temps in the teens.
Fabulous Winter Trees....
The Waterfalls at Hilton Falls Conservation area are amazing and fun to photograph in the best of weather conditions. In mid February was the first time Karen and I have been to the falls in the winter; mostly due to the three mile long trek in cold conditions and the slippery ice covered trail, which is better suited for snowshoes and cross country skis than my blundstones... (note to myself get some crampons or anti slip footwear next time) I only took one spill... landing hard on my posterior, other than my pride no real damage.
Even though the trip was slow and slippery it was well worth the hike. we got some great shots...
This shot taken on our way into the falls is of the walking trail; a wide, though icy and slippery swath cut through the forest. the groomed trail helps visitors to the park navigate through the terrain without endangering the public in this well travelled conservation area... The sun was hanging low on the horizon and squinted through the tree tops to form this beautiful sun burst as light splintered in all directions. such a glorious and fabulous sight.
On this trip we choose the main trail, as we know the ground off the groomed trail would be extremely dangerous in the deep snow. in the summer we have ventured through the off trail areas beyond the main path. it a rough terrain; full of steep mossy covered rocks and fallen trees, sharp stumps and loose rocks...some very deep holes and rocky crevices that could easily swallow and seriously injure the novice hiker..

This is two horizonal 85mm images shot from the same location about 45-60s apart. Manually merged together and adjusted as needed to fit everything together. Cockscomb Rock and the Mingus Mountains can be seen in the background.
This was a preplanned shot, but atmospheric conditions were not what I was expecting as a storm was moving in quickly from the south. So made adjustments to accommodate the incredible sunset and even got a little wet.
My furry companion Hank was not overly happy about the thunder but stayed with me as always.

Exceptionally stormy weather at the South Gare today. The mountainous waves attracted surfers together with photographers.

While the storm conditions prevented much color in the sunrise this morning, it still provided a dramatic backdrop at the always nice South Tufas.
Reminder that the Los Angeles DWP is keeping Mono lake artificially low below the state-mandated level and actively harming its ecosystems in order to supply only ~1-2% of just the city of LA's water supply. The city of LA uses ~30% of its water on watering grass lawns.

Left home at 3am to travel up to glencoe through some pretty bad conditions to arrive on rannoch moor for sunrise. It was cold (-9) and misty but then the sunrose and we were blessed with good light for most of the day. got home at 10.30pm exhausted but excited to see the pics of glencoe with its white coat on ...
On a day where for once the weather conditions did not dissappoint, the sun shone perfectly through a low lying mist, producing these beautiful sunbeams. The effect was over quite quickly, as the sun soon burned away the mist, so I was quite fortunate to be there to photograph it - doubly fortunate for my other half, who was with me on this occassion. Naturally, this made it all the more special, having someone there to share it with.
Tide and sky conditions looked good for a sunrise this morning so I made the short drive to Hopeman. It was always going to be a challenge to find a suitable composition on a north facing coast and as there was little cloud to the south-east anyway, I chose to concentrate looking across the Moray Firth. The sea was quite sporty, no doubt the after effects of the recent storm, so I had some fun trying a variation of shutter speeds. This is actually a blend of 2 images at 1/20 and 4 seconds. The lovely pre-dawn pink of the sky set off the sea nicely.
Today the conditions were very difficult for taking a good landscape picture. I had to use unusual parameters, that I would not normally use. Wide aperture, high iso, fast exposure. Because in every 2 seconds waves splashed over my head. There was no way to use my tripod. I had my back to the sea, protecting my camera and in between the waves I tried to snap some pictures as quickly as possible. The filters needed to be wiped after each wave. 15 minutes later my clothes were soaking wet and I had to get back to my car. But the exciting and interesting foreground forced me to try these desperate measures.
Glorious conditions on this morning's family walk around Dovestones.
This was nearing the end of the walk when the sun tried it's hardest to break through the clag.
Three left to go and I'm going to try and drag myself out after dark for a spot of lp.
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!
March is a month of extreme swings in the weather. Monday we had 4 inches of snow. The last three days it has been in the 50's. However, March and April can be our snowiest months. In 2019 we had about 40 inches of snow in March and April.
As ‘32 Ford (“Deuce”) rods go, this one is a really clean example. Thankfully conditions at the moment allowed a nice, unobstructed view of this car, always something of a fleeting moment at any given Cars & Coffee type event!
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.

Listen to the Rolling Stones tell it: youtu.be/oqBjjBkHnh0
the house is buried up to the rafters on its east side, and the snow-wave is closer on both the north and west sides of the house. one more storm forecast for tomorrow afternoon, hopefully a break after that. i’m shoveling snow on the front/south side of the house, preoccupied with thoughts of Ukraine, and full of sadness for the world…
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.
A former champion of the forest stripped bare for all to see. How the mighty have fallen. Still a magnificent specimen, and for once in conditions that gave this hero the atmosphere he deserved
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!
