This is a butterfly with a story . I saw my first one a day earlier ( it is a very rare one ) and the shot I made did not really felt that good . So I wanted to try to find it again for a better shot , despite the weather forecast . I watched the radar and there should be some light rain . When I finished my shooting the rain started . It was not light rain , it was raining cats and dogs . That was probably the end of my camera, 'till now I cannot use it anymore !!!

Thank you so much for your visit!
The weather forecasters are predicting that we might get some winter weather in the next few days, so far we have got off relatively lightly . I doubt however it will be as cold as Arctic Norway this was taken around lunchtime in December and whilst there was no sunlight, the snow does make it appear brighter then I was anticipating . The light has an unusual blueish tone through the short Arctic day .

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Back to Trout Lake and an early morning frost on the Sunshine Coast. The weather called for a touch of snow on this day, which led to plenty of interesting candy coated trees. My thought on this shot was to use the red frost covered trees, to imitate a shadow, to the white frost covered trees. In turn, that would help give the illusion of dimension.
When I saw the ducks land and begin to swim, they turned and angled straight for my shot, as if it were planned. Perhaps it is true when they say, "luck favours the prepared".
A moody day looking at North Cascade National Park's Diablo Lake. For some reason there weren't many folks here, enjoying the light rain. The silence was delightfully deafening.
Seems we photographers can no longer head out in July or August for good landscape shots in the Pacific NW. The air is unhealthy and smothers the scenic views with all the continual, chronic summer wildfires. For those who love experiencing nature's gifts this is heartbreaking.
Speaking of silence, that's how this planetary crisis is being addressed by those in power. Regardless of your take on climate change the facts and damage are undeniably right in front of us. It is agonizing witnessing this tragedy grow worse with each year.......We photographers get it, may the rest wake up and address it soon.
Stepping off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Wednesday!
Your comments, faves and suggestions are always appreciated. Thank you!
Looks like the next weekend will present us some frosty days, some sunshine would be welcome. Obernbeck,Ostwestfalen, Germany
Conditions and the forecast looked great so a last minute decision to visit The Lakes. I know it's a cliche but when you've been to a location many times and the conditions were never right, I make no apologies about this one.
Even so, I still messed up. Was supposed to be a ten shot pano but ended up as six, hence no Fleetwith Pike and I had to crop a lot of the reflections out.
This was about a hour and a half after sunrise.
Finding a moment of quiet serenity and a reminder that everything will be alright. This stone walled setting with its soft lamp , candles and flowers is the perfect spot for Fika , the Swedish pause for a coffee , a treat and appreciation.
The sign that says Everything is going to be OK , perfectly captures that feeling of comfort , calm and looking forward to a stress free moment ..
..sunny with a good chance of a few shadows towards the end of the day
..have a bright week my friend :)
Pimps -Sunny(remix)
I was itching to go out and shoot as I was off from work - all my weather apps and local weather said zero clouds at sunset. Two hours prior, I spotted some light clouds and headed out.
Weather apps & reports are great as an aid, but nothing replaces direct observation.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)

Weather forecast on a knife blade. On a Damascus steel knife blade, to be precise. Not what I initially had in mind, but that so often is the case when it's one of the "MM themes of the 1000 possibilities". Usually, for such a wide theme, I only have a few vague ideas what I could do for it, and the end result is pretty much a random surprise of what looks, firstly, most interesting through the macro lens, and, secondly, best as a photo, of course. Also, what is easy when it's not asked for - such as finding interesting patterns - becomes nearly impossible when it's required: patterns positively seemed to escape me as I went looking for them around the apartment ;-) And when I saw the knife in the kitchen (I hadn't even considered it as a possibility) I just thought "OK, that's probably very boring, but I'll give it a try." As for the "macro lens surprise", that was that not only did the banding typical for Damascus steel looked like waves (often an intended effect, but I only learned about that when I did my research on Damascus steel for the description and the tags), but those scratches from sharpening the knife that you can see in the upper part of the image also looked like heavy rain. And here it was, unfolding before my eyes: the high seas tempest.
The setup for the photo was as simple as it gets: I simply propped the knife, sharp side of the blade up, against a jar of sugar (my photo studio also doubles as breakfast and dinner table), both of it sitting on top of a heavy book to give it the same height as my camera on its small table top tripod, positioned one LED lamp (warm light) at the side of the table and grabbed my LED torch (cold light) to illuminate the blade from above (which also added the ever so slight 3D effect on the upper part of the blade), enabled the in-camera focus-stacking function, and hit the shutter button. I shot three focus stacking sequences of different parts of the knife of which this looked best.
Processing steps: The cold / warm light effect is something I get quite often when I use different light sources as above mentioned. It even works with one artificial light source (provided it gives warm light) and daylight from the window. Here I liked the split tone effect very much because I think it adds more depth to image. I wish I could have achieved the vivid colours you see here entirely by the use of light and the use of a colour filter (warm-cold or a combination of a cooling and a warming filter), but I've only recently considered to buy a few photo filters to improve my landscape photography, and since a good filter is expensive, I think I will buy one or two more versatile filters first before checking out the more exotic colour filters. So the colour enhancement here was done in Lightroom, where I tweaked the saturation and luminance of the blue, yellow and orange tones, and then in Nik's Color Efex, where, as final touch, I applied a Bi-color filter. I hope that these processing steps are deemed OK according to the new MM rules regarding the editing of an MM shot. I also did some sharpening and de-noising in Topaz Sharpen AI ("Focus" yielded the best result).
HMM, Everyone, and have a beautiful and safe week ahead!
The forecast was for early morning fog so it was very pleasing to find that the weather forecast was correct as often it is not. I arrived before sunrise at the chosen spot near the township of Yarra Glen in Victoria, Australia and spent nearly two hours photographing the ever change scene below me.

The weather forecast had been for a sunny day for my first visit to the British Museum. I was hoping for a blue sky and some interesting shadows to be cast by the glass roof. Alas it was not to be although even on a dull day there were still some nice muted colours to be seen. The weather hasn’t been on my side just recently and I’m starting to develop a genuine fondness for “muted” (EM121499)
At a recent campsite, morning light started around the corner and we had to wait our turn for any warmth of the sun to reach us. Until then, everything was wet with dew, which usually means a good forecast for the day to come: "When the dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass; When grass is dry at morning light, look for rain before the night."

Was forecast 100% cloud this morning so nearly stayed in bed, but seeing i was off work i took a chance and hey presto breaks in the cloud and plenty of them
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Ok it is still not may in germany. But I was crawling in my file archive from last year and found one of my usual "single-tree-images".
Just a symbol against the cold eastern weather :-)
The weather forecast was correct!

Enjoying the balmy & like spring weather in my town!

Another Winter in New England that, while mild over all, just won't let go. Snow in the forecast for tomorrow and sub-zero temps and "significant snow" in the forecast for the next week, as well. The gardens are happy for snow but the humans are ready for Spring.
Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) in the warm, sunset light.
Another cool start to the day, both in weather and trains. A trio of EMDs lead southbound loads at Zim with morning puffies overhead that added some great texture to the sky.
Thought better show what I've been up too!
Yes, it's that time of year again, and spent a very cold day in the wind and even showers yesterday ... that was NOT forecast, so didn't have a coat.
But the Adrenalin starts as the birds start to arrive.. and this chap did not disappoint!
Hope that you enjoy seeing him
