Getting conditions right at Corfe is a real crap shoot, and just requires a bit of luck really.
This morning, all came right and myself, and many other photographers, were treated to an amazing light and fog show!
"Hit the heater button out here, Larry!" Notice the white frost on this fox squirrel's whiskers. That's what happens when the temperature is -13 F (-25 C). However, when the wind's bitter bite was factored in, it really felt like - 37 F (-38 C). These conditions are life-threatening as bare skin can become frostbitten in ten minutes. Now this fox squirrel and I know what it's like to live at the North Pole!
Utah Juniper is a tree reaching 3–6 m (rarely to 9 m) tall. It is native to the southwestern United States rand grows at moderate altitudes of 1,300–2,600 metres /4,300–8,500 ft, on dry soils.
Boulder Beach along the eastern side of the Park Loop Road. Park rangers won't acknowledge this beach. While I don't have the exact directions, I believe you go past the Gorham Mtn parking lot and the very next parking area is where you park. Go across the road and there is a path down to the beach. Go at low tide and be very careful getting around. The beach is an "ankle buster".
Weather conditions were not good on this day with a light rain falling. Combined with the mist coming from the ocean waves it was nearly impossible to keep my lens clean even with trying to use an umbrella. I took numerous shots but this one was the cleanest. I hope I managed to adequately remove the water spots off the image. Need to get back here. I think this was my favorite location in the park.

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…
Crazy conditions as a storm passed though back in the winter. I was sheltering behind some rocks as a nasty rain shower passed through. Not great but made for lovely conditions to capture this. 👍

Un beau souvenir car c'était la première sortie photo de mon petit garçon avec son papa.. et on a eu des belles conditions mais beaucoup de monde ce soir là !
A nice memory because it was the first photo of my little boy with his dad .. and we had beautiful conditions but many people that night!
Two sets of data taken today under very turbulent conditions. The afternoon session was really bad.
In the morning this was a large headed dog rearing up from the solar disc, by the afternoon it had risen higher and was beginning to lift off.

A Cliché shot of the Cocklawburn Block shaped rocks. I visited here for sunset but there was no cloud cover around, so not ideal conditions. I did try this though, and liked the glow from the sun on the rocks.
Many thanks for viewing.
The summer of 2023 brought unusually wet conditions to typically arid Wyoming. Even by late August, pools of water remained in the Red Lake basin near Cody. The hogback in the background lies on the east side of the Horse Center Anticline and dips away from the viewer toward the east. The upper portion of the hogback consists of the Cretaceous Cloverly Formation, while the lower portion is formed by the Jurassic Morrison Formation. To the center-left of the image, a lower, resistant hogback is composed of sandstone. In the foreground, the lake is bordered by a mudflat covered in grass. On the right side of the foreground, white alkali deposits are visible along the water's edge.

January 2021 up on the Gleneagles golf course during some heavy snow fall and mist. I'm always amazed by how conditions like this can reveal exciting new compositions that I have never noticed before. Hope you enjoy it

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.
These are the conditions that I have been chasing for some time now, and the quest for them has led me into some pretty silly adventures now and again.
Finally though, I have managed to get them and I couldn't be happier with the result.
This is about 6 or 7 shots from my new A7R merged in lightroom and procesed as one huge RAW file - that feature makes the price of admission worth it alone.
White out conditions on a hike up Volcan Mountain in the Julian area of San Diego just after a major snow fall.
I brought my much better camera gear with me on this hike but found myself constantly pulling out my Iphone to photograph rather then pulling my pack off my back to get to my gear.
This morning I was very lucky to get a red sky mixed with some lovely mist. The way the light gleamed off the lingering mist really looked lovely, whirling around that particular row of trees. It was a very tough choice about whether to snooze the alarm or not but I persevered and was rewarded for once.
" Down at the gasworks by the meat factory door
The 5 Lamp Boys were comin` on strong "
{ Do have a look the piece of History Ive written on this as its interesting I think, and it will hopefully make you smile! }
These are some of the words to the song, "Rat Trap" by Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats which was a big international hit for them in November 1978.

" The Story of The Five Lamps "
The 5 Lamps are a well known Dublin landmark and stand on an island at the junction of 5 streets. It is much loved and respected by the local people who are part of a closely knit community and can trace back their history here to the 1600s.
The monument was erected to the memory of Lieutenant
General Henry Hall,a soldier from Athenry, Co. Galway at a cost of £200 which he bequeathed in his will, so the people of the area would have fresh water to drink from the [4] fountains and "desist from partaking of the demon drink!!" I dont think it worked somehow and they didnt even add it to their whiskey! Anyway, what respectable whiskey drinker would ruin a good drink like that and they couldnt have afforded it anyway. More likely Poteen was the common drink around here. If Henry came back today,Im sure he would be delighted to see that "The Five Lamps" pub across the road is now closed!
Henry also had a little pad in Dublin which is still standing and known as "Merville Hall!" You could fit half the population of Dublin into Henry`s little place and with a few dozen sepoys with there back to the task, you would probably get the entire lot in! "What what I say!! Steady lads!, Good show you fellows!!!" { Shades of "Zulu"! } I dont know if he really said that of course but somehow I think he would. I cant imagine that he was an Irish native somehow. Not with his position in the British army at that time, or his apparent wealth.
He had served in the Bengal army and had been Superintendent of the Malwara region for 13 years so he had a few quid!
He died in 1875 and by all account was a "jolly good sort"
and he did have the peoples good at heart as there was no proper water supply and people existed in appalling conditions in tenement slums. Some of the renovated ones can be seen in the photo.
The independent MP, Tony Gregory fought all his life to have the old places knocked down and new town houses build so the local people could remain in the area and not be moved to some " no mans land" in west Dublin which had happened to so many. He was very successful and he achieved an awful lot and the community have stayed together. Poor people who lived in these appalling conditions, were always very loyal to each other and they all helped one another.They always looked after their neighbours The community spirit is still evident there thankfully! Wealth brings out the worst traits in lots of people Im afraid.
There is a lovely Dublin saying from around this period. Mothers in the tenaments would call their children in from the streets at dinner hour by calling out through the window " Will ya come in kids! Yer dinners poured out" Dinner being a bowl of gruel or maybe on special occasions, soup!!!
What is the significance of the 5 lamps? It may be to represent the junction of the 5 streets, or the 5 major battles in the Indian wars or perhaps the 5 lamps that are lit for good luck during the Hindu Diwali Festival. No one really knows and more than likely its probably just a nice design.
The photo is a 3 picture HDR merge in PSP x8 and further edited in Picasa 3. I do like the ghost images of the passers by.
Anyway, if you fancy a few drinks I could meet you at the 5 lamps but watch out for the ghost of old Henry, keeping watch!
Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate your Faves and comments and Ill catch you all later!

RHS Wisley
RHS Wisley was founded by George Ferguson Wilson, a Victorian businessman in 1878, he made it his ambition to make difficult plants thrive in English conditions. So he created The Oakwood Experimental Garden. This was a 60 acre plot in total, of which part became the garden. Unfortunately he died in 1902 and the whole site was purchased by Sir Thomas Hanbury. Sir Thomas also owned the famous ‘Giardini Botanici Hanbury, at Mortola in Italy, close to the French border. He gave both properties to the RHS in and around 1903, just four years before his death in 1907.
The main laboratory for scientific research was opened in 1907 but this building proved to be inadequate so major improvements were made and the exterior was rebuilt during the First World War. In 1985 it was designated a Grade II Listed building.
This garden now covers 240 acres in which are housed a large glasshouse for tropical, temperate and arid climates, formal and informal gardens, an arboretum, Alpine Houses, Rock garden, Pinetum, a Wild garden and a Walled garden plus many more features.
This is another place worth while visiting, especially, if like me, you’re a member of the RHS.
This will be the second posting of 7 images. There are 6 postings in all.
The conditions were absolutely brutal to view the lunar eclipse of January 20-21, 2018. The temperature was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit while the winds were gusting to 40+ MPH. Twice my tripod blew over, fortunately without damaging the camera or lens. Despite the conditions, I was able to get a few images without too much blur or shaking! The image was made with a Canon 80D and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L II lens using an iOptron Sky Tracker.
Annual festival celebrating summer! Beautiful evening and night made for perfect flying conditions and afterglow.

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!

We’ve had a few days this winter with the right conditions to create a certain kind of magic. Cold temperatures and calm air allows the creation of soap bubbles that quickly freeze into solid orbs of frost. During the freezing process, they become something magical. View large!
Last night I spent a few hours experimenting with these. Some complex lighting was done from behind, using a narrow-beam flashlight and a Fresnel lens to place the light exactly where I wanted it. The bubble was blown just above this location and gently placed on the snow. Most of the time, bubbles will burst on impact unless you use a more hardy formula in their creation. The recipe used is:
6 parts water
2 parts liquid dish soap
1 part white corn syrup
It’s the corn syrup that thickens the bubble solution to withstand impact with the snow. It doesn’t work all the time, but when a snowflake lands intact, the game is on.
Freezing usually starts quickly, and there are two different scenarios you’re likely to encounter:
Warm bubble liquid: You can prolong the time you have to get the camera in the proper location by heating up the bubble solution in the microwave. This can give you a few extra much-needed seconds to get everything aligned, and it creates stable growth. In this scenario, the bubble will start to grow frost from the point of contact with the snow, and usually somewhere near the top of the bubble. These frost fronds will continue to grow until they reach, closing in the bubble.
Cold bubble fluid: If you’re using cold bubble fluid, right near the freezing point, you’re in for a show. Particles from your breath that are pushed inside the bubble will collide with the wall of the bubble, sometimes freezing on impact and creating nucleation points for frost. These swirl and grow around the freezing sphere almost like snowflakes, eventually freezing together. That’s what you’re seeing here. The freezing process usually has already begun by the time the snowflake has landed, and very little time is available to get the camera to the proper angle and focus point.
Like my snowflake images, this was shot entirely handheld. Speed is very important for such subjects, and a tripod only gets in the way. The entire bubble is frozen solid in a matter of seconds.
It’s amazing what falls from the sky, created by the randomness and beauty of nature… but it’s astounding what the right ingredients in the right order can create with the intent of creating something beautiful here on earth.
If you’d like to see more of my work with snowflakes, check out my book Sky Crystals (304pg hardcover) here: skycrystals.ca/book/ or my “The Snowflake” print, which embodies the beauty of sky-borne crystals in a way never before seen: skycrystals.ca/poster/
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.
2nd full day in Finland (out with David Clapp and Antony Spencer), we had cloud and poor conditions on the mountain today so went down into the forest. Had a go at creating this surreal image. Looks like we are heading to the coast tomorrow looking for green stuff in the sky!
Possibly the worlds most photographed tree, hated by photographers worldwide, yet it still appears in and wins major photography competitions.
I have shot here once before, but conditions didn't really present me with a decent shot so I wanted to get my own version of the famous Wanaka tree. What can I say, the tree was there, I was there......
Shot on a very clear and crisp -3 morning in Wanaka, New Zealand.

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.
Night sky conditions were poor last night; the new Moon was quite intrusive and great clouds of salt spray were being driven inland by the onshore nor'easter. A lot of slider movements were needed to rescue the image (single exposure). The glow at the base of the image is from the setting Moon. I've also noticed that quite strong edge coma is a feature of this lens. Antares (alpha Scorpii) sits brightly below the Milky Way; Jupiter is still doing its thing above. View looking West, from Cuttagee Lake on the NSW Far South Coast.

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.

When shopping for plants, I appreciate the clear labels with the variety name and a statement of the conditions in which they will thrive.
Paranaguá means "big round sea" in the Tupi-Guarani language, a reference to the wide bay that affords the city optimal conditions to function as an important port. The village was originally founded somewhere around 1550 on the island of Cotinga, and later expanded onto the mainland.
It is Paraná's oldest city.
Paranaguá preserves many of the oldest colonial remnants in Paraná.

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.
Because of the weather conditions, I just managed to take this photo today.
And still unbelievable, the 'Gig and the Horse' were produced in 1982. I wonder if a child ever have played with it.
I was lucky to find it at a thrift shop in Belgium during my summer holidays.
Sometimes all of the conditions line up to make it very easy to capture that beautiful moment. This is one of those sunrises where all I had to do was point the camera and press the shutter. I hope you enjoy.
Had some time and better conditions today to try some long exposures at some waterfalls in Glenmoriston, that soon after, run into Loch Ness, Scotland, UK.
