I drove up to Yosemite this weekend, hoping to find nice shooting conditions from an early winter storm that moved through Friday into Saturday. This was my first shot of the day (and I generally don't think of this spot as a sunrise spot, but it certainly can be in the right light). The whole day was extraordinary, with snow, dramatic skies, and peak fall color combining into one of the most beautiful days I've ever experienced.
I don't think I've ever been in a place where conditions were good for shooting every minute of daylight--but that's what yesterday was like, and I tried to (and hopefully did) make the most of it.
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!

The overcast conditions on this particular morning made for a really bland sky. But, thanks to all the recent rain, this puddle provided a nice reflection. I ended up with a much more serene scene in front of me than the the one I had envisioned on my drive out that morning.
The foggy conditions continued across the Midwest today which meant a frosty countryside was found everywhere. I made a trip down to do some Transcon action in the snow, which I haven't done hardly at all. It was a good day, traffic was alittle slow unfortunately.
The new year resets the train counts in the coal train symbols on the BNSF. The 1st loaded train of 2021 for Rush Tower, MO, (RTR"001") for Union Electric is eastbound on the Ottumwa Sub. Here the coal train picks up speed as they roll into Mount Pleasant. At Burlington the train will get a new crew for the trip down the K-Line towards Hannibal and onto St. Louis.
The living conditions in Auschwitz II-Birkenau:
The reasons for the epidemics and contagious diseases that prevailed in Auschwitz concentration camp included the dreadful living conditions, which varied during the years that the camp operated, and were different in each part of the camp. In Auschwitz I, prisoners lived in old brick barracks. Several hundred three-tier wooden bunk beds were installed in each building. The overcrowding in Auschwitz I forced basements and lofts into use as living quarters, as well.
Two types of barracks, brick and wooden, housed prisoners in Birkenau concentration camp. The brick buildings were erected in great haste, without suitable insulation, on marshy ground. More than 700 people were assigned to each barrack, although in practice the figure was sometimes higher. These barracks lacked any true heating; nor did they contain sanitary facilities.
The second type of accommodation for prisoners at Birkenau consisted of wooden stable-barracks (Pferdestallbaracken). The interiors, designed to hold 52 horses, were partitioned into stalls. The stalls contained three-tier wooden bunks. Several hundred prisoners lived in each such barrack.
Dampness, leaky roofs, and the fouling of straw and straw mattresses by prisoners suffering from diarrhea made difficult living conditions worse. The barracks swarmed with various sorts of vermin and rats. A constant shortage of water for washing, and the lack of suitable sanitary facilities, aggravated the situation.

The lighting conditions were quite challenging when a wonderful flock of Cranes decided to fly in my direction, I did the best I could.
Thanks for viewing, faves and comments are always appreciated !
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.
if conditions had lined up right, my house ought to have received a few rays of actual direct sunshine a little after 1pm today — alas, the clouds are not cooperating, but good to know it’s possible again…

n pretty grim Good Friday conditions i ventured out along the Sea Wall in Teignmouth. Waves were breaking beyond Sprey Point so i made my way there. Wind was blowing straight down the lens mixed with sea spray. Nunney Castle was running a little late with the 1Z29 0750 Kingswear to Taunton with 57311 tucked in behind.
After spending a few hours editing and juggling with the highlights i decided to go with the black and white version which best reflected the grey day.
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:
Altitude: 6000m (19500ft)
Temperatue: -25°C

Different conditions this weekend, so after the rain passed, I re visited the canal tow path for a similar view of the mills in Saltaire but in very different light. I had hoped for larger puddles to capture reflections in.
An image to cool down with in the summer heat =)
At this windy conditions in January I could barely feel my fingers.. (even with big gloves on) So with this in mind its only to enjoy the summer heat =)

The panorama of the Aletsch Glacier and the Fiescher Glacier in the Swiss Alps belongs to the most spectacular mountain landscapes in Europe.
The promising thunderstorm conditions in August 2015 were ideally suited to photograph this panorama from the summit of the Eggishorn (2,869 m, 9,413 feet). The active thunderstorm line was still about 6 km (3.7 miles) away while these images were taken. The heavy rainfall of the thunderstorm can be seen in the unstructured gray clouds at the left side of the image behind Bettmerhorn (2.857 m, 9.373 feet). This seems to have left enough time to complete the 57 individual shots of this 220° panorama and to start the descent from the summit in time.
However, what was not visible even to the trained meteorological eye in this dynamic and rapidly changing cloud cover was the new formation of a thunderstorm cell directly above the Eggishorn. Working behind the sturdy metal tripod I first noticed a tingling sensation running from my feet up to my head, whereupon my hair stood up. What I felt was the pre-discharge of the building up lightning channel running from bottom to top. Intuitively I threw myself to the ground, but immediately recognized that the metal tripod was now standing above me. At the same moment there was a deafening bang as the lightning struck and the thunder rolled through the wide glacial valley and echoed back from the opposite mountain walls. As I slowly rose, I noticed flames of St. Elmo's fires sparkling from my fingertips. These rare and ghostly light phenomena, caused by electric charges, gleam blue-violet due to the spectral lines of the atmospheric gases oxygen and nitrogen. Never before had I come closer to being struck by lightning. I could literally smell and taste the electric charge inside and around me while my body was flooded with adrenaline. In feverish haste I finished the missing two shots of the panorama, threw the photo equipment unsorted into my backpack and rushed from the summit towards the valley, when the next lightning bolts already struck way too close. On the way down the heavy rain finally poured down on me. But the thunderstorm gradually lost its activity and gradually drifted away.
With a length of 22 km (13.7 miles) and a width of 1.500 m (4.900 feet), the Aletsch Glacier is the biggest and longest glacier of the European Alps.
The feeling of experiencing this stormy atmosphere on the summit of the Eggishorn high above the Aletsch Glacier was intoxicating. The looming light of the scenery and the incisive experience of almost being hit by lightning makes the adventure behind this shot unforgettable and unique.

Zhangye Danxia Landforms, Zhangye, China.
Zhangye 's Danxia was formed by the erosion of red sandstone, forming isolated peaks and steep stratified outcrops. Its special geological structure, combined with long-term desert conditions , freeze-thaw peeling, and wind and water erosion gave rise to its present appearance.
Geologists believe that Danxia topography is formed by folding of layered oceanic crust. Exposed slanting rock layers have different colors, textures, shapes, sizes, and patterns. The combination of differences in density and erosion create towering peaks, cave holes, and stone halls.
There are 4 viewing platforms inside the park and we visited all 4 of them. Our tour bus had to be parked outside but inside the park they provided bus to take us from platform to platform.

I had every intention of going out to capture shots from the snowfall we are getting but it is snowing so hard that driving is actually a scary event. This park is just down the road from where I live and when got (only) this far, I decided not to venture much further. We have had over 8 inches, probably more like 10 now and the streets are terribly slick. My traction control kicked in more times in this little trip than its ever kicked in since I got my car 3 years ago......lol. I am not afraid to drive in snow, but there is a limit. I decided to be realistic about a photo shoot outdoors today and head back home. At least I got this shot. When the snow stops and they can catch up on plowing the roads, i will head back out. For the record, this is my 1st shot with the new lens :-)
This is a shot from when the Norwegian crew were in town with some Dorset folks too. Initially blowing a gale with driving rain, the scene didn't look too good. After a couple of days and still blowing a gale but not so windy, we returned. Still not great conditions and a challenging place to shoot at the best of times, it was this naturally longer exposure well after sunset, that turned out best I thought. I cropped it into a more panoramic format, as the sky was a bit bland, and the cliff a bit dark and heavy too. It just worked better like this. The waves were pretty huge, and falling in was not an option.
Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

This was shot a couple of months back in Padley Gorge, Derbyshire. The main memory from this trip was the many many photographers attracted by the rare foggy conditions. Whichever way I looked there was a blue coated photographer stood right in the middle of my intended composition!
So here is an experimental square crop, something I usually avoid but I think I just about got away with it!
The first light of my mono setup is finally complete after a long wait due to equipment setup and poor weather conditions. On January 21, 2025, despite less-than-ideal conditions with fog, frost, and high humidity, I focused on testing the full LRGB workflow to prepare for future mono projects.During processing, I encountered a significant issue: a “nebula-like structure” in the green channel, likely caused by a frozen dew film on the filter, making the data unusable for the nebula. However, I salvaged the project by processing the stars in RGB and creating an LRBB image, successfully minimizing the impact of the green channel problem.
The conditions look fairly extreme in this image of the route to the summit of Mam Tor, but in fact it was actually quite pleasant. There was only the mildest of breezes and the temperature hovered around the freezing mark. This made it much more pleasant compared with my visit on 28th December 2017, when there was a gale force wind and the whole hill was covered in sheet ice. This image shows some photographers near the top of the hill, making the most of the snowy conditions.

Morning sun, ships and a bit of rough...that doesn't happen often!
Near whiteout conditions were coming to an end as I drove into Manotick to complete some errands. Prior to this shot, it was near zero visibility, and a white knuckle drive.
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.

Conditions where below average this morning so i felt like a mono LE would suite this location best.
Conditions at my location were not ideal. Nonetheless the Super Flower Blood Moon did manage to make an appearance, albeit after totality and behind a veil of clouds.

During very variable weather conditions, this beautiful mountain range appeared out of the fog. Unfortunately, I was not able to easily identify its name. The shot was taken from Fellhorn Middle Station (1885 m).

Conditions were difficult both weather wise (strong wind and annoying cloud periods) and techically with some issues with my filter wheel.
This meant I lost a substantial amount of imaging time but I was able to complete a few runs, before cloud invaded with rain overnight.
Mars presented a nicely detailed disk showing strong contrast upper and lower due to the Martian topography. The bright area of Olympus Mons (the solar system's largest volcano) was obvious.
I have included an annotated version of the image, identifying some of the albedo features imaged this Mars opposition night.
Imaged with a Celestron C8 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera equipped wih Baader RGB filters.
"Strobilanthes dyeriana (Persian shield) is a tropical plant native to Myanmar. It is grown for its dark green foliage with bright, metallic-purple stripes radiating outward from the central leaf vein. In proper conditions, it will also produce pale purple flowers. Persian Shield grows best outdoors in USDA zones 9 and 10, although it can survive in other zones as a houseplant given sufficient temperature, soil moisture and humidity. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit."
