Hay Bale at Sunset I - Copyright 2015 Martyn Phillips, M4Photo.
You can’t always predict the weather or a decent sunset whilst the farmers are harvesting, plus you can’t predict when the crop will be harvested, whether the bales will be square, round or some other shape, whether they will be wrapped or left open and then will then fall in the field the right way for the composition.
I knew what I was looking for and despite about 20 or 30 wheat fields being harvested, I really struggled the find the weather conditions right and the bales in the right place. This evening, the weather was fairly good and the sunset reasonable. It could have been better and I’d have preferred some leading lines in the final composition, but with a very short time window this year, I got out and made the best of what the local countryside has to offer.
This is the first of two images from the location and this one has only undergone a little post production work for a more natural image.

Creative intro: life path is not a math, you can’t predict it (you can become a doctor or drug addict). You can’t calculate your fate, (one wrong step and it would became difficult to fix broken seem) sometimes it is too late to fulfill our dreams. Tonight I feel Lucifer’s grope around my neck, there is no turning back from my chosen railroad track.
Creative thoughts: railroad is a symbol of our life our path, it is like a destiny, we don't know why we choose left railroad track and why we choose to become a gambler or a prostitute, why we choose railroad right track and why someone become a thief or why we choose middle track and we become poet writer or painter etc. The problem is life is short as one adventure trip, many of us don't have time and chance to go back at right track, I mean right way. I spend 1 month making photos on a railroad searching for the answer, which track to choose, what move to do in my “headless” life but still I didn't find the answer. I know one thing that some poor souls never get chance to choose life path I mean about little babies that died in birth process (* I worked in hospital shortly and once I got order to bring few months dead baby in a morgue). A lot of people live poor today, some rich families live like a modern kings & queens but there is some kind of justice because nothing is forever, you can't bring your fortune or pain & disease in heaven and hell.
P.s. I recommend you songs: W.A.S.P. – Headless Children, Russ Ballard - In The Night.
I'm terrible at predicting which pictures will get lots of favorites, but suspect this one will be popular.
Hell, for me, would be Yosemite Valley. What picture could you possibly take that hasn't been taken already? I'll give Ansel Adams credit - he lived there year-found (he was managing the gift shop, IIRC) so for him, it really was a case of "photographing what you know."
Yes, I took pictures of the fireworks, and they came out OK. Maybe I'll post one, but I promise you it will look the same as all the others, except less polished, technically.
I'm melting.......a record-setting week ahead with triple digit temps and a predicted high point of 114 here in Spokane. Never seen anything like this severe weather in the Pacific Northwest. With little relief coming for next couple weeks, at least. Gonna be a loooong scorching summer.
I needed a crisp, cool memory to chill me down some. Was so refreshing looking up the Lake Louise outlet on this stormy, snowy day. Wish I could step back into it.
ps: I've got several projects ahead and will reluctantly not be on flickr as much for the next few months. I'll miss the beauty and all of you.
May your week be comfortable and wonderful!
NOAA predicted kp 7 last night. Perhaps it was that high somewhere, but not over Iceland. 7 pic panorama, shadows lifted but otherwise no correction. 8 sec exposure = too long. 7 pic pano
Addendum: apparently the kp index is not predicting the "intensity" of the lights.
The forecast hadn’t predicted it, but there were other factors which gave me hope, such as recent rain and a drop in temperature and as I climbed to the top of the hill and emerged from the trees just before sunrise, I was very happy to see great big balls of the fluffy stuff aka mist. Big thanks to the elves in their mist factory who worked overtime that morning.
I shoot with an Olympus and I love the LIVE BULB/LIVE TIME feature on these cameras which really helped when photographing this shot of the moving mist.
What it does for you, is give a regular update on the exposure as it is progressing, while the shutter is open. So the photographer is able to see the image & histogram ‘develop’ in-camera and stop the exposure once the shutter has been open for enough time.
On tonight's evening news, the weather man predicted we've reached a turning point for this Winter's coldest temperatures. The coming week will bring warmer temperatures and even a bit of rain. Mind you, this is the same fellow that only a few weeks ago, predicted the month of February will be colder then usual. So we shall see. In the mean time, I'll try a selenium tint on this photo from December 26th, when it was indeed very cold and snowy.
You cannot predict the outcome of an aurora borealis image. All you can do is set up your camera on a tripod and hope for the best. The lights can appear from anywhere and their beauty might make you forget that you were there to capture them. So be careful ... :)
Hope you like it, enjoy!

For yesterday, the weather forecast predicted sun. Finally!! So, Edgar_Thissen and I went on a blind date to one of Holland's most beautiful zoos; Blijdorp in Rotterdam. How well our little blind date went, since it turned out that we both are equally enthousiastic and obsessed with getting that one shot right.... Must have been a crazy sight; two people, flat on their stomachs in front of the duck pond, oblivious of the rest of the people that had to step more or less over them to pass, shouting at each other "Ooh, look at that one" and "Yeah!, I got 'em!". But we had great fun. Normally, when you are with other people that are not so photo fanatic, you just can't take your time to get a shot right, but this worked out brilliantly. Before we knew it we were thrown out of the zoo because they wanted to close...
So, if you find some similarity between Edgar's and my photos, it figures!
This was one of the last shots of that day. The sun was setting over the duck pond and turned the water into the most amazing colors. We stayed there until it was dark and the colors changed constantly. Used the flash to light up the duckie. While shooting this, we said to each other; 'No one is going to believe that this was the real color of the water". But it was.....
With mild temperatures predicted and minimal wind, I decided to make a quick trip to Lake Monger this morning. There were not a lot of birds but some patience was rewarded with this photo of Pink Eared Ducks perched on a small sand bar a comfortable distance from the edge. Accompanying this pair were another two pairs that were more interested in sleeping than anything else.
The predicted cold front has come with a vengeance today so am missing the fynbos Monday hike. The grass in the foothills of the Drakensberg turns a beautiful reddish brown in Winter. I was attracted by the ordered chaos in this image.
taken on Monday 15th January 2018, when tropical storm Berguitta had already formed and was predicted to be heading in the direction of Mauritius.

Despite forecast predicted hazy weather, it remained clear till about 3:40am which gave me a chance to shoot LRGB videos. Seeing okey(ish) but jet stream was around 30m/s.
Getting there with derotating, but gosh it is a long process :)
Moons that I was rather struggling with, not very pleased with them for now but hope I'll get those sorted as well.

I drove by these wonderfully stacked bales on a bright, sunshiny day and thought, that despite the clear skies predicted for the next day, they might be nice to photograph just before dawn. So that's where I was the next morning before the sun rose, exploring and photographing. At some point a dog came tearing out of the farmer's house up the road, barking madly at me. He was followed by the famer, tearing out of his driveway in a truck. They both arrived at about the same time, looking very out of sorts. "I'm so sorry," I said, "I'm just photographing them; they're piled up so beautifully." I'm sure he must have thought I was mad, but after he realized I was harmless, he very kindly (and maybe a bit proudly) said, "I'm planning to the finish the rest of them today, if you want to come back," but I was unfortunately heading to Regina to fly home that day.

If you'd like, take a look at my other Prairies images. As well, if you're feeling particularly interested, you can read an essay I wrote for Nathan Wirth's Slices of Silence blog on my feelings of connection to the places I shoot, especially the Prairies.
The Photographer's Ephemeris was predicting an epic sunrise this morning, so I set the alarms and got up super early only to discover mostly clear skies.
Resigned to shoot something since I was already awake, I noticed the (almost) full moon descending in the west... I had about an hour before it would set below the horizon.
Fortunately, the Scripps Pier is very close to my home, and I made the quick trip down to the beach for this shot.
The moon is easily mistaken for the sun in these types of photos, because the color temperature of the light is identical to our sun. If you think about it, this makes sense because the moonlight really IS sunlight... just reflected off the surface of the moon.
It was really fun to be the only person out on the beach, it was such a quiet and peaceful morning.

The weather forecast predicted 98% high-level and 0% low-level clouds for sunrise this morning... which was not quite accurate.
We did get some colour in the sky... but not much... and not for long... and not where I needed it.
But hey... this photo is not about Table Mountain or the sky... this photo is all about the foreground!
This is another panorama captured with my multi-camera panoramic-rig.
Parallax errors... hah hah... what's that? This image stitched perfectly! :)
Panorama, 6 x Nikon D3200s, 6 x Nikkor 35 mm prime lenses, ISO of 100, aperture of f/11 with a 1/2 second exposure.
They predicted showers early today but I went out anyway. The skies were pretty interesting though, and it was raining here when I shot this. I happened to catch a lightning strike in the distance too. I shot this with a 1 second exposure and it was about a minute before sunrise. My feet got soaked cause the tide was coming in and pretty rough.

This is my Weather Ball. It predicts the weather. I put it in front of the frosty but sunny window upstairs as the sun was rising :)
Weatherman predicted marine fog moving into San Francisco Bay gated by the Golden Gate. That forecast prompted me to cut my sleep, drive 1 hour to arrive at Golden Gate before sunset. The trip was with excitement but I only found myself surrounded in heavy fog and have zero visibility at this epic landmark site. The fog got cleared up after sunrise, and turned me, a night shooter, into a morning one to capture this amazing landscape of the epic Golden Gate Bridge.

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...

South Central Nebraska, early May 2012. No chasing this day due to work late. Afternoon Storms were predicted that afternoon & evening. Slow movers they were to be.
Off work & I was in luck. The dryline had stalled right over south central Nebraska that afternoon & the explosion of billowing thunderheads erupted. Billowing picturesque Thunderheads. Some of the most photogenic cells I caught in 2012.
Wicked Photogenic Severe Storms developing just to my east and & another batch of developing severe storms right over my head & moving the northeast. What a afternoon of Light & Severe Storms... Click Click Click!!!!

Our local weather predictor "Edmontonchuck" was quoted today in response to the CBC cast which can be read below.
"I don't care what those posers said. Edmonton will have six more months of winter. Suck it up! Too bad about Willow. She was a righteous Rodent."
From CBC
"Two of Canada's famed four-legged forecasters have made clashing weather predictions. Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam is calling for an early spring while Ontario's Wiarton Willie expects six more weeks of winter.
According to tradition, if the groundhog doesn't see its shadow when it emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day, an early spring is in store.
It was two against one on Tuesday, as Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil, arguably the best-known weather predicting woodchuck, also predicted an early end to winter.
This year's Groundhog Day festivities have already been marred by the death of Canada's westerly prognosticator, Winnipeg Willow. (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation February 02, 2016)
Groundhog Day celebrations have been cancelled in Manitoba out of respect for Willow, who died last Friday at the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre." (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation February 02, 2016)
Didn't predict this one to turn out as pleasing as it did. Was a bit of a failed drone shoot as the drone wouldn't reach as far as I wanted it to before the signal kept dropping out (I wanted to shoot Trent Bridge). Had to opt for the Tram Bridge instead but caught a tram at just the right time!
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." Peter Drucker.
The surroundings of Taipei 101, which was the world's tallest building in the past, are one of the busiest areas of the capital city of Taiwan. I had always wanted to create an image that showed the daily chaotic invasion of the streets by motorcycles, cars and other vehicles at the end of the workday.
Taipei, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, is a city in constant transformation. In this area new skyscrapers are being built every day. The walkway from which I took the photographs was going to be demolished soon, a real shame because the view from there is truly impressive.
To obtain this result I mixed a total of 20 photographs taken at the same point: 3 exposures for the city buildings, 1 for the sky and the other 16 for composing traffic trails.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"La mejor forma de predecir el futuro es creándolo." Peter Drucker.
Los alrededores del Taipei 101, el que fuera edificio más alto del mundo en su momento, son una de las zonas con más tráfico de la capital de Taiwan. Siempre había querido realizar una fotografía que reflejara la caótica invasión diaria de las calles por parte de motos, coches y demás vehículos al acabar la jornada de trabajo.
Taipei, una de las urbes más densamente pobladas del mundo, es una ciudad en continua transformación. En esta zona la construcción de nuevos rascacielos es constante. La propia pasarela desde la que realicé las fotografías iba a ser demolida próximamente, una verdadera pena porque la vista desde allí es verdaderamente impresionante.
Para obtener este resultado he mezclado un total de 20 fotografías tomadas en el mismo punto: 3 exposiciones para los edificios de la ciudad, 1 para el cielo y las otras 16 para componer las luces del tráfico.
Funny idea:
"A stone that predicts the weather
Wet - it's raining
Dry - it is not raining
It casts a shadow - the sun is shining
White - it's snowing
Cold - it's cold
You can not see - there is fog
He is not there - there was a tornado."
Walking through the city I saw this stone. A fun idea.
I have been wanting a shot like this for a while now, one where the sun is low and orange with the wind turbines as a silhouette. I would have preferred the turbines to be facing me but the wind is harder to predict than that the sun here in Wales!

I've wasted a good couple of hours today waiting for the snow to return. One particular app had us in the middle of a snowstorm for those 2hrs! Good job it wasn't a paid one!
Come 1pm I'd had enough and got ready to walk the young lady.
I'd discovered this path the previous day. I'd thought it was a private road running up to the old vicarage but turns out it isn't. As yesterday I only had 70-200 with me, I thought it would look much better with a wider lens and a little more atmosphere. Hence me waiting for the snow to return to revisit.
I initially took a few images here but without the snow it looked boring. I ventured further and higher and coming from the South I could see the snow rolling in. The good old Beeb had predicted heavy snow at 2pm and they didn't disappoint for once! A quick round trip of the fields and I returned as the snow fell heavier.
I still feel it lacks atmosphere. The snow was driving and without the tripod I couldn't slow the shutter enough to catch the streaks..
One to revisit with a little mist I think.....
we have sun predicted for a couple of days so I'm racing time and trying to get things done outside. it's beautiful out and the garden thrives.
a time of beauty and, for me, a time of sadness, because so much of my garden reminds me of my dear friend april.
I think her flickr site has been closed down by her husband or I've been blocked. I wish you all could see her wonderful work.
so....good times and sad times.
schubert the standard poodle is our oldest doggy now. he is partly deaf and has cataracts. he follows me loyally when I garden until time for treats and rest, but when I come in and upstairs, he comes with me.
both of us old and slightly decrepit, keeping each other company as we rest together after work.
I will be off flickr again while the sun shines.
and this photo is best viewed large.
Not predicted, i noticed the high waves from the other side of the harbour and nipped across to bag a shot or two. More to come.
Starting from the great outdoor . Scotland has a lot to offer when it comes to scenic and landscape . Throughout the seasons , 3 cold and 1 less cold the landscape , light and colour are forever changing . Loch Etive is one of those places worth heading towards . A short paddle away you will face the grand scenery , the snow top mountains and the abounding wildlife . It might be cold for a few hours but certainly it’s scenic .
The weather forecast can be diabolical . The BBC weather forecast will make you stay at home . Looking at the predicted weather only a day in advance the wind was supposedly meant to blow to 20 to 30 miles per hour . However on the day it was certainly flat calm . Just like fake news it’s certainly disappointing .
Companionship is and always be an important factor in extreme kayaking . Kayak fishing is a safe sport , group kayaking is extremely safe and help is always at hand .
Fishing and catching make us do go back , fresh and scenic , top destination for a great cool adventure . Scotland and loch etive today , somewhere else tomorrow , keeping on paddling .
I've been waiting to the bitter end to see how the woolly bears would predict the coming winter. I was elated to see that this tried and true nature forecaster is predicting a nice mild winter! Wonderful! The saying goes, that if a woolly bear has a broad red band the winter will be warm, but if the red band is narrow we're in for a real nasty winter.
I took a recent trip to Ross On Wye as the forecast predicted light mist.
When I arrived it was pea soup and couldn't see a thing. I spent the majority of my time waiting for a break in the heavy fog, and for a brief moment I had one, revealing the pattern of emerging subdued Autumnal colours on the hillside.
With a cool but sunny day predicted, yesterday was a perfect time to head out for a longer hike to complete a section of trail on the "to do list." For me, it's also a great way to be mindful - far more interesting than meditation. Having tried the latter for a few months, I would either start to fall asleep or had all my brain's neurons firing at once. With hiking, one has to consider a partner, think about your physical limits, look where you're going, plan where to step, plant trekking poles for balance, and check out the flora and fauna. There really is no room for distraction - and thankfully, it was early enough in the season not to be tormented by hordes of vampire mosquitoes.
It was predicted in the forecast....we chose not to believe it....we got it.
She always wanted a white wedding...but chose to have it in October for fear that guests would not show...9.7 inches of the white stuff later...she was right....some guests did not show, but it was the most beautiful day ever!
And now they are going from snow to sand...for their honeymoon.
I am super excited to get started on this one! But right now I am off to cook some chili on this snowy day.
I went out to catch a sunset landscape last night to give you a break from birds! The sunset predictor said a 10. Wowee, I was somewhat excited so went back to the the little Greek Orthodox Church down the road.
The predictor dropped to an 8 before the sunset. This isn't an 8 but the flashes of pink dancing in those wispy clouds were quite lovely for a few minutes. I took photo's of the sunset, my eyerolling daughter took selfies on the dirt road! Everyone went home happy.
Still waiting for that 10.
