In most conditions this view would probably not be the most exciting out there. Add in some big waves and some nice lighting and it's transformed.
I took this on Ektar 100 on the F5, but felt that, while the colours were fairly flat, the contrast was just right with the direct light.
Excerpt from www.visionsoftravel.org/sheung-wan-magic-unknown-temples-hk/:
The recently renovated Pak Sing Ancestral Hall (42 Tai Ping Shan St) was originally a storeroom for bodies awaiting burial in China. It contains the ancestral tablets of around 3000 departed souls.
I Tsz (meaning a free Ancestral Hall), was built in 1851 on Taipingshan Street to house ancestral tablets of deceased Chinese mainlanders, many of whom had moved to Hong Kong soon after colonisation by the British, to seek a better living. Some had died homeless without relatives to arrange a burial and I Tsz provided a home for commemorative tablets (name plates) to be housed in order that relatives, arriving at a later date, could collect the tablets to take back to the mainland. Later, coffins containing the dead were also housed at I Tsz to await repatriation and some terminally ill Chinese, who had been turned out of their homes in the crowded conditions also found refuge at the temple. Following an outcry over the appalling conditions where the dead and dying lay next to each other with no medical care, the then Governor, Richard MacDonnell, agreed to a long standing request from the Chinese community for land for a Chinese hospital and this led to the founding of Tung Wah Hospital.
Miserable conditions couple years back, same day the Bo’ness gala was operating. Those photos will pop up soonish. Break from the gala, 37s on the Edinburgh to Glasgow line with the mentor coach doing its job. Wasn’t expecting that! And now 37099 has a new front, like class 37510…..bye bye light box. Seen passing Croy
I took this photo several years ago in Soho (London - 2017) It seems kind of pertinent at the moment.
Slowing to make a set out at the large Verso Paper plant in the background, CN train A451 crosses over the perfectly still Escanaba River. A hard decision was made between shooting this or L549 with a SD60 over the same river but on the Marquette Range, this was by far the best option as I have never seen this body of water so still in the 13 years of coming to this part of the UP.
A lack of conditions and imagination eventually brought me to the burn. I’ve taken a number of images from this point in the past so this time for a slightly different perspective I waded into the middle on a nice flat bed of rock, enough for me and my tripod. I took a couple of images and then I decided on this 16:9 to emphasise the width of the burn. Carrying a few thousand pounds of gear into a stream always has me on my toes with the focus of whatever happens I’ll get wet but not the camera. This composition was completed with no drama and decided on a up stream shot. You probably can’t make it out from this image but there is a 2 foot drop in the stream just before the first tree, with a lovely cascade. All I needed to do was make my way along the left hand bank, get under the leaning second tree using the thin ledge and position my tripod just beyond. That thin ledge skirts a sudden drop into a deep pool so it was the crux of my traverse. All was good and I took a few photos. On reversing my manoeuvre just as I passed the tree my foot slipped, of cause my camera was safely on the end of my folded tripod which I was using for balance pole and luckily the pool was only knee deep, but a good few inches over the top of my welly. Once safely on the bank the welly was off and I emptied a couple of pints of burn water back where it belongs. Not cursing any lost or damaged gear I regard this as all part of the fun and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mist and sometimes fog plagued some parts of central Scotland recently. This shot has houses from Renfrew and the high rise flats in the distance are on the North side of the River Clyde
well, the snow is almost all gone (we have icy rain instead), and the winds are down a bit but still racing across the landscape and whipping up mini-waterspouts on the fjord (so George is still unhappy) — still a bunch of storm to get through
We had fascinating conditions for night photography in Bodie on Saturday night..There were fast-moving clouds and Milky Way early on, then snow showers and moving clouds with airglow later. The snow never stuck to the ground, but it was an interesting addition to some of the photos!
Fortunately it was cold enough that for the most part, the snow wasn't sticking to our lenses.
In dull conditions and light rain recently regeared, renumbered and repainted 66654 passes Rauceby with 6E02 12.30 Toton New Bank to Boston Sleaford Sidings empty steel hoods on Tuesday 16th July 2024.
Lighthouse above the entrance to the surfer museum.
The natural conditions in front of Nazaré are unique in the world. And as so often with unique things, the causes are not obvious but invisible to the eye. Directly under the lighthouse of the town, on the Atlantic coast, about one and a half hours drive from Lisbon, ends almost 230 meters long and up to five kilometers deep underwater ditch - it is half as long, but more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon , The deep-sea trench, which lies between the Eurasian and African continental plate, channeled after violent storms on the high seas, the energy of the water and spits out so especially in the winter months right in front of Nazaré the largest waves in the world. All this has been happening here since time immemorial, but only since 2010 is interested, in addition to the 200 fishermen in the place, the rest of the world for it.
Of course it was very windy, even if it was not winter, and nosy as I am I visited for one euro the vault of the surfer museum. There are many photos and original signed surfboards.If you are there once a visit is worthwhile.
Thanks for the visit, faves and commenting, much appreciated.
Conditions so good my two middle schoolers were happy to wake up early on the first day of winter break!
Kalitta putting on another great show this morning, heading back to SDF, handling seasonal volume for UPS. From an earlier post, it sounds like today might be one of the last visits of this particular aircraft for the year, I'm so happy I was finally able to catch it with Kid 1 and Kid 2!

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!

One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.
The ferry Hamnavoe decided because of the weather forecast that it would not be possible to operate the scheduled 16.00 sailing from Stromness to Scrabster, so her captain decided (the same as Pentland Ferries on the other side of the Pentland Firth) to depart early to get out through Hoy Sound because it was going to be Wind against the Tide and what you see is the Sea Conditions in Hoy Sound as she heads over to Scrabster.
The return journey went from Scrabster along the North Coast of Caithness/Scotland towards Stroma (almost Gills Bay where the Pentalina ferry goes to) before then crossing over towards Orkney and Scapaflow coming back through Hoxa Sound and on up to Stromness.
There will be NO crossings from either of the 2 ferry companies on Saturday, 16.11.24, because of the sea conditions. The next expected sailings will be on Sunday afternoon, 17.11.24, weather permitting.
The conditions couldn't have been better to capture some sea smoke from Fort Preble in South Portland. By climbing up onto the old battlements, I was able to get a clear line of sight to Portland Head Light. I used a 400mm lens to compress the scene and draw in the lighthouse. This also made it possible to have a nice dark background because of the cloud bank that was low on the horizon.
Conditions were even better this morning on the second day of the SVR Spring steam up, so I could not resist coming back to this area for this shot.
GWR Saint class 2999 Lady of Legend passes Severn Lodge with a full GWR coaching set in tow with the 9.05am departure to Kidderminster at the Severn Valley Railway.
What an incredible location to view the wonder and beauty of the night sky! After witnessing a fantastic sunset, I stayed on top of Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain to photograph the Milky Way arching over Mount Hood. I hope you like this one - I have been trying for several months to get the right conditions in order to achieve it and everything finally lined up for me.
Below you can the town of Government Camp. To the left of Mount Hood is a good view of Mount Adams, and Mount Jefferson can be seen just to the right of the gaseous section of the Milky Way.

Despite the bitter conditions, westbound BNSF empty ethanol train U-NYFCSN streaks along buried rails as it dons a cape of windborne snow, obscuring most of the long, black train following behind, on the afternoon of January 13, 2024, in East Dubuque, IL.
Conditions were prime for an epic sunset on this evening but alas...clouds took over the low angled light. Still a beauty of an evening!
On the 1st December 2019 the 'Celtic Endeavour' ( arrives at Teignmouth with a cargo of high PSV aggregates from Belfast for Tarmac.
Morning sun, ships and a bit of rough...that doesn't happen often!
Conditions were a lot worse than apparent in this photo, quite a bit of processing done to coax out this image. Captured with a Questar telescope in Fredricksberg TX.
In somewhat different conditions compared to the previous Flickr upload, and some three years earlier, on 26th August 2012, when mature birch trees bordered the London Road Goods Depot located out of view beyond; the virtually predictable dull conditions for a steam charter have already arrived and heavy rain is falling as Stanier 'Black 5' 44932 emerges from the gloom of London Road tunnel, approaching Petteril Bridge Junction at Durranhill, making a sure-footed departure from Carlisle at the head of the return 1Z73 'Waverley' charter to York. Despite the foul conditions, one brave soul is sampling the atmospheric conditions from a drop-light window, plus of course one equally enthusiastic photographer is taking this shot for posterity!

What kind of working conditions are these?
I need a damned heater in here!"
Poor Flyodd! This cold doesn't much agree with him. He goes out for short periods, but is back in the cat door before too long, which I'm glad of. At least he has the good sense to come back in out of the cold!
He'll come in, warm up and be crying at the back door again in no time flat!
