Indian Peaks, Brainard Lake Rec Area, Ward, CO
Landscape photography and the pursuit of beautiful light can be extremely defeating at times. Driving hours and hiking miles all for the conditions to not play out as anticipated. This past weekend I had one of those defeating trips. The sky never cooperated, I drove really far, and the hike was tougher than I expected. On top of that, I lost my sunglasses along the trail. I felt defeated by the mountains that evening. A day later, the forecast looked promising for sunrise in the Indian Peaks. I had scouted this location a couple weeks prior and had been waiting to get a chance at sunrise with it. After a few restless hours of sleep, I hit the road and headed for the mountains once again. I arrived at the trailhead with an optimistic mindset. I had been absolutely denied a couple nights before and I didn't want to be let down again. The sky was looking promising though with clear skies to the east and a bunch of moody clouds above the mountains. I set out for my spot. As I was about a quarter mile in, my headlamp caught a reflection in the bushes about 50 feet from me. After a second, I realized that the reflection was 2 eyeballs staring at me... I looked around and saw about 3 or 4 more pairs of eyes all around me. I carry a small reindeer bell intended for hiking in the dark, so I continued to ring that as I cautiously continued along the trail. I kept looking behind myself in fear that one of those sets of eyes could be a mountain lion. After a few look backs, there was nothing following me and I pushed on. Once I arrived at my spot, I could see the horizon still looking promising and I found my composition and waited. Finally, the light show began! After patiently waiting what felt like all summer for a morning like this, I jumped with joy for the light I was witnessing. As the show continued the light changed from pinks to oranges to a yellowish green. Just as I thought it couldn't get any better, a large rainbow appeared over the mountains... I wasn't able to capture that in a way that portrayed how beautiful it actually was. After about a half hour of an incredible show, the sun climbed up into the clouds and that was my cue to pack up and head home filled with joy.
After making it back to the car, I knew that I would be passing by an area that was ideal for moose. So I got my camera out of my bag and threw on the long lens to have in the seat next to me. Sure enough, as I came around the corner, there they were, 4 big moose enjoying the morning, grazing in the willows. Not far down the road, I found 4 more, couldn't believe it. An incredible sunrise, and 8 moose. Visiting this location over and over allowed me to create some spectacular images. It's the failures that make these mornings so amazing.
If you made it this far reading this, I appreciate you and hope you enjoyed the story behind my image. Landscape photography is a challenge and I love every part of it.
I'll probably post some moose shots later, but if you wanna check out the big guys beforehand, go check em out on my website.
When I get into a particular location I can't stop myself from returning, often multiple times. This particular spot is so close to where I live that I imagine I will photograph it under lots of conditions and through the seasons. This is another Canon 7D IR shot from my most recent trip.

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!

Yes, the clouds were that dramatic and dark. The light conditions were changing quickly and constantly.
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.

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.
It was end of December and there was no snow high up in the alps: perfect hiking conditions in terms of weather and surface conditions.
Not the best conditions this morning, the sunrise never quite materialised, overtaken by fast moving low cloud. Still after a bit of a famine recently and a general lack of inspiration it turned out to be a helpful kick start to getting back in the groove.......

Tough conditions for flight photography as it was snowing and blowing and the viewfinder kept getting full of snow.
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.
A very Cold, dark and non colourful trip to Findhorn beach where Winter has reached this part of the Moray Firth. Even though conditions are not suited to everyone's taste it was still rather enjoyable before Finger's etc started to numb.
In freezing conditions, SY1225 doesn’t disappoint as it pushes up an incline with a rake of empty box wagons on the Wu Jiu Coal Group line, which parallels the road. Wu Jiu, Inner Mongolia, China.
Under grey skies and misty conditions, Class 45 locomotive 45118 'The Royal Artilleryman' rounds the curve as it approaches Marsden heading eastbound towards Huddersfield. It hauls its rake of coaching stock working 'The Pennine Peak' Inter-City railtour from Crewe to Newcastle, which the 'Peak' took the helm of from Liverpool Lime Street.
The containership Thea B Seen leaving Teesport in March 2013. Stormy conditions at the South Gare today but not as bad as these.
The railway was originally chartered in 1884 by the Ontario Legislative Assembly to run from Toronto to the International Railway Bridge, connecting with local lines to Buffalo. The original charter forbade the company any attempt to merge with, lease from, sell to, or pool with any other railway. Given the business conditions at the time, this turned out to be an impossible condition. The original corporation was unable to complete the line before the original charter expired, so the government revived the act, requiring the line to be completed by 1894, with a new group of promoters.
It began operations in 1892, when it took over the incomplete line of the Brantford, Waterloo & Lake Erie Railway between Brantford and Waterford. The line reached Hamilton in October, 1894 and Welland on December 30, 1895.
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 :-)
As the storm continues to ramp up, another train passes by without stopping. NS 4537 leads 23G westbound in very difficult near whiteout conditions.
"The atmospheric conditions have been very unfavourable lately," said Owl.
"The what?"
"It has been raining," explained Owl.
"Yes," said Christopher Robin. "It has."
"The flood-level has reached an unprecedented height."
"The who?"
"There's a lot of water about," explained Owl.

Very windy conditions a couple of days ago during a shoot at Walka Waterworks (Oakhampton, NSW; Australia) with good friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef (aka Joey ' Nature Togger ' ).
I only managed a couple of keepers including this one of an eastern Spinebill as it perched briefly eyeing off some Grevillea flowers - hope you like it!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - very much appreciated!!
Wishing you all a wonderful day and week!
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!

Photo taken right after sunset in Lauttasaari, Helsinki. The wind was blowing hard from the sea and created nice movement to the picture.
I had a fabulous time on Tuesday night up at Magpie mine doing some light painting. The conditions couldn't have been better with a clear sky and a full moon bloomin cold though as the temp was just above freezing!!
This image was created using Chris's flash with an orange gel to illuminate the buildings interior plus his huge torch fitted with a red gel to skim the edge of the chimney with further illumination provided by Andrew's drone fitted with a Lumecube which lit the LH side of the mine and chimney, the moon did the rest of the work which is hiding behind the chimney.

It's been crazy this morning. It started out very cloudy and then this happened. The roads are treacherous at the moment and we've been told to stay off of them.
Great conditions this morning (around -10C, no wind, fluffy snow), but the snow had stopped falling by the time I got out. Had to "scoop" clumps of flakes onto my wife's fluffy tuque using a wooden spoon and hope for the best...
Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Macro and Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox AD180 Flash. 18 frames in this handheld focus stack. Shot with the lens around 1.5:1, but I still have to measure what magnification this gives with the Raynox...
