I've been hoping for these conditions for years.
From the very first moment I clapped eyes on this Gary Oak tree at Pipers Lagoon, I wanted it wreathed in fog.
After 11 years of waiting, I finally got the fog I wished for with the added bonus of some lovely afternoon light.
It was a bit of a carnival. I've never seen so many people at Pipers Lagoon, not even in the hottest days of summer.
This was a rare sunny, foggy day in January when people weren't allowed to travel, so where else would they go?
I was lucky enough to be filming a vlog when this rare event which you can watch here youtu.be/vVNUJz7KNb4
Thanks for looking

Flying into rough conditions does not faze him when he knows that there are fish at the end of his journey.
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.

We were there at 7:00 in the morning trying to catch a really beautiful atmosphere in the forest but the conditions were horrible...sunny and without fog :(- So we were waiting there for 30 minutes analyzing different spots and taking ideas for future adventures, when suddenly the conditions changed completely. The fog was there to create this fantastic scene. Hope you like it.

Allí estábamos con nuestro trípode y cámaras preparadas para disfrutar de una sesión que prometía mientras nos acercábamos a precioso hayedo de belaustegui. Subimos de altitud y nos apareció un solaco maravilloso. A pesar de ello, decimos ir a buscar la foto y con todo, incluso el encuedre preparado se nos vino el cielo encima y se creó esta bonita atmósfera. Espero que os guste. Saludos y buena semana.
the snow-wave reformed in this morning’s snow and wind — but now conditions are turning to rain and it will soon be wilting again
One of the conditions from the 1996 Union Pacific - Southern Pacific merger was the granting of trackage rights for BNSF on SP's Central Corridor between Sacramento and Denver. Catching a BNSF trackage rights train on the Roseville Subdivision is always a nice change of pace from UP City of Yellow.
Far from the standard train watching locations on Donner is the crossing of the Loch Leven trail just east of Cisco, CA. Here, BNSF 5144 leads the westbound QPVBCJ (H-PVOSTO Provo, UT to Stockton, CA Manifest) proceeds west towards Cisco.

Great conditions at the Waddensea from the shore in Friesland. Playing with the constantly changing light and clouds is a real treat. In the background the Wadden island Ameland is visible with the lighthouse "Bornrif".
15 years ago, the North Pole Express ran up the former New York Central Saginaw branch from Owosso to Chesaning. The train was much smaller in those days, and most of the trip was between 10 and 20 mph. The Saginaw County fairgrounds in Chesaning hosted the North Pole. A few years later, the decision was made to move the North Pole over to Ashley and run up the ex Ann Arbor mainline instead, somewhat due to deteriorating track conditions on the branch north of Oakley. SRI volunteers actually invested a lot of time and money into track work between Oakley and Chesaning in order to continue running 1225 up there, but eventually it became more than they could feasibly do. While the ex AA line is nice, the old NYC was more straight north/south and offered some interesting photos, like the classic Michigan Bean Co elevator in Henderson.

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.
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!
Whenever I have been to Dinorwic, over 20 times, the conditions have always been different. Yesterday was one of the more testing times, certainly from a photographic point of view, as I was in fog most of the time. All I could see were dulled outlines of buildings and other features at about 50 yards if not less. At first I headed down to get under its base. So whilst one might assume that the above picture is of a lofty peak protruding out of the cloud, in fact this shot is taken at the very base of the quarry near the lakeside and that was a plume of slate rock that proved too hard to split, even with explosives.
The long dry winter has created a parched landscape of brown and orange vegetation. It's not autumn. This is the way it looks in July.
Shooting Milky Way out of a flying aircraft is always a challenge. To be successful, you need smooth conditions, the correct flight path and good timing. In other words, you need lots of luck, as most of this is out of the photographers control...
This image was such a lucky moment. At 36'000ft, over Korinthos in Greece, while heading home from a Cairo night turnaround flight. I was able to capture Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus.
Despite the good flight conditions, I only got 3 exposures with pinpoint stars, out of a sequence of roghly 200 shots. Yes it is that difficult. As it was my lucky night, One of these 3 exposures also captured a shooting star...

finally after 3 yrs I think it is after going to collard hill somerset & only seeing them flying I decided I needed to see these beautiful butterflies again so off I went on Saturday very difficult conditions but very happy with this closed wing
33029 passes along the Chester station reception line with 1Z86 Crewe to West Kirby. This was a re-run of the ill fated tour from November 2018 which came to grief at Dee Marsh, thankfully some glorious weather conditions were on offer for most of the day.
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.
Winter is slowly arriving in Germany! Fingers crossed for some beautiful snow conditions as we had last winter, like in this photo I took in Wernigerode in January 2021.
Btw I still have a pile of unedited snow images from last winter... Need to start working on them 😀. So stay tuned for some more winter vibes ❄️😀!

Yesterday was a horrible day. While overcast, the temperature climbed steadily along with windy conditions leading to the hottest day for 12 years.(since 2014) according to the ABC. A state of emergency has been declared after multiple fires were ripping through the state.
Staying under cover was so important for humans and wildlife, though we are yet to know the overall death toll (3 missing) and damage to land and property.
The air is smoky here in Melbourne this morning with clouds, wind and lightning storms overnight.
I really don't know how the emergency services people manage and the wonderful CFA volunteers.
Power and phone services are also non-operable in some affected areas.
On a brighter note - the cooler weather has arrived giving some days to recover. But not enough rain to impact the fires raging out of control.

Up north Queensland, a tropical low possible Cyclone is threatening large dumps of rain with probable flooding. I hope people keep safe there as well.
With clear conditions for the last couple of weeks, I've managed to dash out twice now in quick succession for sunset. There was just a hint of interest as I was in the garden so I nipped over to Plover Scar and witnessed a very pleasant sunset. the skies over the Lakeland fells looked fabulous and I took a couple of nice shots just after this one which I will post at some point.
The tide was on its way in and with the little Plover Scar Light being well out in the water I had to look for some foreground interest. I found this little channel being filled by the oncoming tide and managed to frame it up with the Lighthouse in the left of the frame and Heysham Power Station and the Western Lakeland Fells on the right.
It is difficult to get shots here at High tide or even mid tide as all the main interest lies with the diminutive Lighthouse itself and the rocks on which it stands. That said the sky and colours made up for it here.
Having to go out this afternoon, I called in on way back @ our local Marsh Harrier spot. Very windy straight into the hide so did not stay long. The female MH tried to perch in the tree but soon gave up with the windy conditions. just time for a few shots in quite dull conditions

Météo dantesque en ce 19/01/2021 au sommet du Hohneck (Alt : 1363m), aucune visibilité cause brouillard, vent violent soufflant à 100km/h, par une température de -10°, neige abondante, l'hôtel du Hohneck véritablement transformé en hôtel fantôme . (petite dédicace au film "Shining" de Stanley Kubrick).
The weather on 19/01/2021 at the top of the Hohneck (Alt: 1363m), no visibility causes fog, strong wind blowing at 100km/h, at a temperature of -10°, abundant snow, the Hohneck hotel truly turned into a ghost hotel. (small dedication to the film "Shining" by Stanley Kubrick).

Perfect conditions to see the starling roost at Ham Wall this evening - one of the best views I've had. It is so hard to convey the experience in photographs.
If you look closely you can see that every reed stem is broken - this is damage done by the starlings, due to the sheer weight of numbers over the weeks they have been roosting there.
Sunrise over Coyote Creek in Hidden Lake, New Mexico. Conditions here are constantly changing. Storms roll through, fog occurs, and the light varies minute to minute. There is also an abundance of wildlife inthe area. From this location I reguarly see Elk, Coyote, Deer and numerous species of birds including Black Crowned Night Herons.
This is the second time we have stayed with friends in Hidden Lake, and this is my favorite location to photograph. This valley is also where they filmed parts of Lonesome Dove and the new Lone Ranger film.
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’!
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.

In mucky conditions, 37800 has bought 466041 from Gillingham to be scrapped, and 37420 passes by on 5Z37 York NRM - Tyseley. 66701 on a loaded scrap train and kettle 60103 make up the shot. I was the only person here for the last scrap train, today it was crowded. I missed the head on shot of the 37 and lots of steam, keep an eye out for Terry's shot, it will be a belter.
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!

Sometimes the conditions change really quick. A quick Dash up to the mountains and some practice shots
Red rock country! The pair of GP40-2s work hard up the 1.2% grade close to the entrance to Arches National Park, returning from Potash to Grand Junction with the weekly local. The overcast conditions were actually to my advantage here as this is completely wrong for the sun!
In nearly whiteout conditions, a Union Pacific flanger exits Tunnel 42 and races west through Andover, California. With snow over the rails and heavy storms on the forecast, Union Pacific’s dedicated snow fighting crews had their work cut out for them.
March 4th was a day to remember. Once the train passed, I slowly snowshoed the couple miles back to my truck. With ambient temperatures in the low 20’s and 50+ mph winds in Coldstream Canyon (making it feel closer to single digits), the trek was nothing short of memorable. Once back to the truck, it was time to head for Truckee Hotel as Interstate 80 would remain closed for several days.
