The mountain weather forecasters played a blinder on this day, forecasting there could be an inversion around the higher hills of North Wales,. That was despite there being high winds, normally I have only experienced inversions when the conditions were still. So I set off early, climbing up the slopes of Moel Siabod through cold, dense fog that was being blown around quite a lot, so not exactly pleasant walking conditions. It was only when I got quite close to the summit that the predictions proved correct and fleetingly I walk out through the top of the cloud. It was a real treat to see the cloud blowing around below me, swirling around in the stiff breeze. This was the sight at the summit Trig point, looking south east across a boiling sea of cloud.
This blue jay is looking bluer after it heard today's weather forecast that is predicting snow for Saturday. I think most birds and animals were happy with the brown winter we've had so far.
A great forecast this morning and I made the move to Wennington to record ROG 37611 hauling Northern 331009 to Skipton Broughton Road, seen here exiting Melling Tunnel.
Still bullhead jointed rail here, sounds you just don't hear anymore and it took me back.
* Northern are currently re-allocating their Class 331 EMU's. Rail Operations Group are taking nine 3-car examples to Skipton and bringing twelve 4-car 311/1 units back over to Allerton Depot on Merseyside.
Armed with a forecast of clear skies and not too much wind, I got up early this morning and drove about an hour to Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver (Canada) to take photos of the Lions Gate Bridge at sunrise. Caught some nice twilight photos before, and some sunny morning photos of adjacent areas afterwards. Dressed warm in my parka and snowboots as I knew there'd be lots of waiting for the light.

Looks like we have some cold and sunny winter days ahead. Certainly better than the dark and rainy weather of the last months. River Werre in Bad Oeynhausen, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Yes another Bluebell shot, my focus was on the the patch of Bluebells and to throw out the background of Wild garlic slightly . As the weather forecast is good and sunset is at 21.10 co insides with high tide i`m off to Bosham harbour this evening to see what light occurs.

Please Please no big icons! thanks!
Just a fun shot for today.
If i really need to see snow I can go shake this guy up a little :)
It is always snowing in his world!
No texture added, no Picnik just a little exposure adjustment :).
Itsss Tuesday.
The photograph's composition is very much dictated by the arrangement of the cloud, hopefully allowing it's full drama to dictate the scene.
A completely inaccurate weather forecast (by TWO separate online services), that promised frequent sunny intervals on the tops from dawn, spurred me to make the long trip up to Glen Spean, going without a night's sleep in order to make the most of the day. At sunrise, as you see, a few rents in the cloud allowed one or two breaks to briefly enliven things - but not long after this was taken the clag moved in with more authority, distributing heavy(ish) snowfall for the remaining hours I spent up there. The copious hill-fog just didn't look like retreating, & a gusty, unpredictable wind seemed to be widening it's scope. Having just one decent photograph (there are others of roughly the same scene under different light) hardly merits a 300 mile round trip, so I'm beating myself up a wee bit at present at my spontaneous decision to 'push the boat out', despite knowledge of previous erroneous predictions by the professionals. The photograph, itself, I'm very happy with (at the moment).
Coire Ardair is one of Scotland's most dramatic corries. I was first introduced to this glorious setting a few years back on a spring day that nearly seen me blown off Creag Meagaidh by one of the most fixed, constant jet-stream winds I can ever remember. Numerous day-long, static lenticular clouds stand out in my memory.
My return, yesterday, revealed the same corrie & it's resident lochan buried under huge amounts of snow. A very different scene.
Our first night in London was quite an eyeful.
Along with the iconic Tower Bridge, we were also near The Shard, London's tallest building and Europe's second highest, as well as the old City Hall.
I was really worried before the trip, because long range weather forecasts were calling for rain. But we didn't catch a drop in the entire eight days we were in the UK.
It was an amazing trip; one I won't forget.
We had a severe weather warning in effect today. It created amazing clouds.

The forecast was right, and it did brighten up eventually. I hadn't guessed the waves would be so big though, limiting my time to make something to a few minutes. The sun was wonderful after the heavy rain, and lit up the walk across the pebble beach at high tide. Yesterday Man is a great cover by Robert Wyatt. A wild wet walk under dramatic cliffs.
The forecast was unusually good for the weekend so I decided to attempt a shot I've been after for a while. The famous tree at Milarrochy Bay isn't always engulfed in water but this time the loch was high enough. It was a bit windy for long exposures but I managed to get a couple of sharp ones with no movement in the tree, this being one of them. It's well photographed for a reason.
After seeing the weather forecast for the days ahead was not very good I thought a trip out around sunset might be good, It had been lovely and cloudy all day and with the promise of rain the following evening I thought the light might be nice and contrasty.
I have been here many times before but not to this particular field, when I saw how the light was playing on the grasses and wild flowers I had my composition. Yes the sun is blown but without that brightness there would be no foreground light, so I set a narrow f22 to get the sunstar and took three images of varying brightness so that later I would have a choice of which one to use, I don`t use filters anymore preferring to blend if needed however this is a single image with the canon showing it`s dynamic range that is so workable.
The dark line you can see across the foreground vegetation is a shadow of a fence.
What I like about this spot is the view across the valley where there are many fields of differing shapes and textures, as the sun sank behind a cloud bank I walked back up the hill shooting more compositions as the sky turned into a lovely golden hour, more to come .

The forecast said that the day would be cool and foggy, so we made what turned out to be the right decision to head for higher ground, and were fortunate to find the sunshine on the top of Exmoor above the hamlet of Stoke Pero for my first 'proper' photoshoot of the year! Conditions were fantastic with the mist/fog rolling in and out all afternoon. This fogbow - the first I've seen for many a year - persisted for more than an hour.

A sunny day forecast near Wragby so I decided to revisit this reserve hoping to see and photograph the 2 species I had particularly wanted to photograph last Saturday, plus anything else of interest. I had more time to spend there so stayed longer.
A real bonus to see and photograph this butterfly in the small triangle area. Easily the best of the very few sightings of them for me this year.
Passing through Murray Bridge, NR8 leads Great Southern Rail's The Overland service, which runs from Adelaide to Melbourne, as train 2MA8. The day was forecast to be completely free of cloud but ended up being Overcast from early morning onwards.

The forecast was for a mix of sun and clouds, but it was a bluebird day as far as we were concerned. We've done this scramble many times, but never tire of it. We walked around 6.5 km's return distance, gaining, with all the ups and downs 769 m's of elevation, taking 4 hours to do so.

We don't have a lot of Scots Pines near us but the other evening I popped out to the hills just behind us and went on a scout. I found both a nice little lochen and a collection of pines. The forecast was for clearing skies but overhead they seem to linger nicely. The last light was gorgeous.
The weather forecast is predicting some serious rain (and maybe even some snow) for the Western Cape this weekend... I can't wait!
This photo clearly wasn't taken in the Western Cape... nor was it taken this weekend. :)
I captured this shot while on a photographic workshop that I attended on Norway's Lofoten islands in February 2015... in other words... a long time ago.
The light that morning wasn't anything to write home about... so most of my photos from here turned out looking flat and dull.
This is one of my favourite compositions from this location... but I've now Photoshopped this image to near-death... and it still looks flat and dull to me.

All week the weather forecast had predicted a glorious sun from 6am onwards, then it hinted at clear skies, followed by clouds and then back to clear. We stuck to our game plan and Eddie duly arrived on my doorstep at 3:45am as planned. We quickly swapped cars and headed off... the sat nav pre-programmed the night before (up here for thinking , down there for dancing... you know what I'm like). Not much traffic on the roads at this time of a morning apart from heavy goods keeping the shoppers happy.
We passed over a bridge we didn't know and drove past a ship we couldn't see. Still we were on course and arrived at the beach car park just as the sat nav had predicted - I usually make at least one wrong turn on our travels so this was a first. However, the car park appeared to be locked but it pays to check and on closer inspection they were just badly aligned and leaning so with a bit of heaving and pushing we managed to prize them apart and squeeze the car through. A quick change of shoes for wellies and we were on our way to the beach.
Now those that have visited before will know you have to cross over the dunes before you see the lighthouse and on first sight the vista was not as one would have hoped. Although we were an hour ahead of sunrise, a band of light sat between the horizon and one solid bank of motionless cloud mocking us as it deliberately bisected our intending shots. My first hour of shooting produced nothing worthy of processing and posting. Only with the imminent arrival of the sun from behind the Wirral peninsula did the cloud give in and start to disperse.
What had started as a potentially disappointing trip out was beginning to show signs of hope and excitement. We both quickly moved location, set-up again and clicked away. This is my second frame as the cloud began to break with the rising sun, still not visible on the horizon, under lighting and warming the sky. I began to dream of our changing fortune and hoped...
Window Wednesday(s)
It was quite damp out there today! I haven't taken a photo out of the front door in a long time; it's been too cold, but today, it got into the 50s, so it was warm enough.
16, 12, 19, 36, 20, 19. The temperature forecast (Fahrenheit) for the next six days. I keep telling myself that I'm coming out swinging photographically the minute the weather breaks this year, but the weather has been throwing some serious punches without letup. Several hours of planned shooting quickly becomes 20 minutes of shooting, an hour to warm up at a coffee shop/bookstore, then back to the refuge of a warm house. But I'm telling you, when the weather breaks - and it will - oh, it's on.
Now, back to my coffee... ;)
755327 crosses the flooded Welney Washes (east of Manea), working 2L79 15.50 Peterborough - Ipswich. [Pole, almost 6/6 sections (~7.8m)]
Having been working in Ely and with the weather forecast late in the afternoon not being for wall-to-wall cloud, I decided to have my first session of this winter attempting sunset shots here, with my main target being 4E20 from Felixstowe to Masborough, due at Manea at 16.12. However, with 4L87 (Tees Dock to Felixstowe) currently running with a loco at each end, there was also something fifteen or twenty minutes earlier (in addition to a few passenger trains). I usually stand further back and use a longer lens, but today decided to try my new 31mm lens and stand closer.
The sun dropped into the bank of cloud on the horizon as I was driving down the road from Pymoor, but the clouds high in the sky were still orange underneath when I set up. But I wasn't quick enough for the first DMU, and by the time 4L87 appeared (with no containers at the front, but plenty at the back) the colour had gone. There was therefore very little colour in the sky for most of the trains I shot, but after 4E20 the orange close to the horizon seemed to be increasing, so I hung on for the "FLIRT" going the other way about five minutes later.
There was more colour in the sky for this than for the other trains, although I've increased the colour saturation a little (but not changed the colour temperature - the white balance was set to daylight rather than auto correct). I also had to lighten the image, as I'd underexposed by a little more than perhaps I should have for everything I photographed. I also wasn't sure how good the silhouette was, as the floodwater seemed to be reflecting the dark clouds - but there was more silhouette than I thought.
