The Night Before
19.00: Checked weather forecast. Hoar frost and patches of freezing fog predicted. Poured glass of wine.
19.00-20.00: Enjoyed another splash or two of the old vino while spending a frustrating hour of indecision determining a location for the best sunrise while maximizing the likely atmospheric conditions.
20.01: Tried to remember the exact physical mechanism that could explain how a bottle of wine could simply evaporate in the space of 60 mins. Thinking a Nobel prize may be coming my way if I ever crack it.
20.30: Discovered a smidge of brandy at the end of the bottle. In a fit of OCD housekeeping decided the bottle was littering the place up, so the only decent thing to do was finish off the contents and place in recycle.
20.31: Felt smug for doing my bit for the environment and household chores.
20.45: Finally decided on spot for tomorrow’s shoot. Plugged in camera battery to recharge. Excited to get back behind the viewfinder. Having done a good job of planning, it was time for a celebratory tot (or two) before setting the Casio for a ridiculous early start. Can’t remember going to bed.
The Day
05.30: Alarm went off. Hit snooze in a soporific haze. Repeated cycle. Repeatedly.
06.15: Woke up household has I stumbled around trying to simultaneously pack camera bag (last night I seemed to forget to gather lenses, sd cards, etc. can’t imagine why), get dressed, have a cup of tea (somethings are sacrosanct, no matter how late you are running), and work out why my head was feeling like a freshly washed pillow. Some swearing may have been involved.
06.45: Finally got in the car and headed off. Later than planned.
06.46: Released a tirade of Anglo-Saxon colloquialisms as I realised I would miss the exact moment of sunrise. More Tourette-esque outbursts as I looked out of the windscreen and saw the hoar frost had not materialised and the promised glorious misty morning was not looking very, well, misty.
07.25: Finally parked up in Normanton, Rutland. Rapidly donned wellies (note to self – check the auto spellchecker has not changed “wellies” to “willies”, like it did last time. The resulting confusion and threatened legal action took a long time to resolve) and hiked off to the edge of the reservoir.
07.40: Air temp: -1 deg C, all surfaces covered in a thin veneer of ice, courtesy of the night’s frozen fog (which had mysteriously disappeared)
07.41: Found a good location to set up… a sloping wall running down into the water that I could use as a base for my tripod.
07.42: Put camera and filters on wall as I placed tripod in position.
07.42 + 30 seconds: Heard a thud as camera slowly slid off ice-covered wall and fell onto the gravel.
07.42 + 35 seconds: Frightened local joggers and dogwalkers as I shook my fist at the heavens and (very) loudly berated the gods for my misfortune and noting, with extreme-prejudice, that gods have no fathers.
07.50: Attached ND filter on freshly cleaned up camera and placed on tripod.
07.51: Pressed button on IR remote release. Nothing.
07.52: Pressed button repeatedly while promising to have some severe words with any random deity that may come wandering in this general direction. Still nothing.
08.00: Finally worked out the battery was flat and long-exposure shots were going to be limited to 30 seconds.
08.01: Noticed that my foot was getting very wet and very, very cold. Bloody wellies had leaked. Badly.
08.02: Started taking 30-second snaps as a most glorious mist rolled in across the lake and the church was cast in a beautiful dawn light.
08.05: Soggy foot had gone completely numb. Mind started wandering to vague memories of a first aid course that described the signs and symptoms of frostbite.
09.30: Finally departed Rutland with a smile on my face because I had finally got out to take some photos.
Equipment: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 10-24mm @10mm. ISO 400, F3.5, 30 sec. 7-stop Hitech Firecrest ND filter. Manfrotto tripod

As predicted, the California central coast was hit by high surf this morning. The big waves were 20 to 30 feet high, and the ocean was extremely unsettled.
The sky was blue, and fortunately the tide was low and the gentle wind was coming from the east. Otherwise, our house would be in danger.
Pacifica had a huge number of visitors, many from inland. Despite warning signs, one person, yet to be named, climbed down on the rocks and was taken by a sneaker wave, apparently while his family watched.
One wonders how anyone could fail to sense the danger that nature sometimes displays.
I observed that you could watch the waves and get an idea of what might be safe. HOWEVER, an area that is dry and for 20 minutes never gets hit, can be the next target of a surprise wave. These conditions are very dangerous, and people not familiar with the ocean can be fooled to death.
A 4 hour search by the Coast Guard, with 2 helicopters and 3 boats, turned up nothing.
I feel so sad for this man's family.
It has been a while since I shoot the ocean last time. When weather forecast predicted some light while the sunset was at negative tide, I had no hesitate to shoot the ocean to start this season.
About a mile down the road from my house, this farm is always so neat and orderly looking! Happy to say that the next several days are predicted to be Sunny! I was getting weary of the rain, ice and overcast skies so seeing the sun is a good boost in spirits! :) Have a great day everyone!
Every photo walk is different - On the way home, it is never easy to predict what a Nikon Z8 memory card will carry. Sometimes you press the shutter within the first minutes and the card fills quickly; sometimes you wait patiently without taking a single frame, imagining the photograph long before it exists.
Wildlife follows its own rhythm — and occasionally, it takes you along with it.
This pre-Christmas morning at Bradgate Park began as the rising sun broke through dark, scattered clouds. As the light softened, the landscape slowly revealed itself. At times, gentle morning light becomes incredibly effective; at other moments, you work more technically, placing the strength of the light behind you and allowing experience to grow with every frame.
The first encounter came from the rocky hilltops: a young male fallow deer, standing still, looking directly into my lens with wide, unblinking eyes.
“Young Fallow Deer in Morning Light.”
After meeting two fellow photographer friends, I joined them along the River Lin, which flows through Bradgate Park in North Leicestershire. A small group of hinds crossed the river, resisting the powerful current — a moment of shared instinct and determination.
Later, while searching for Stonechat, as on previous visits, a herd of red deer appeared, spreading calmly across the greenery. The majestic stag once again became the natural favourite of our lenses, and I worked to capture several compelling poses from different angles under direct sunlight.
The Grey Heron ultimately defined the photograph of the day. Under clean, softly broken sunlight, framed against the River Lin, the scene felt complete.
After a 3.5-hour photo walk, as I returned to the car park, my favourite bird — the tiny Robin — seemed to offer a quiet farewell. Shot in direct sunlight, the background bokeh remained simple, while the feather details glowed beautifully. With the NIKKOR 500mm and 1.4x TC at ƒ/8.0, its poised and noble stance emerged clearly.
Good evening and thank you for looking.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

First Leeds have invested in over 30 of these Wrights Streetdeck vehicles primarily for busy routes 1 & 6. They carry this bright new livery with Leeds City fleetname, the red being the specific corridor brand. No 35266 is seen here fresh from the wash departing for a publicity appointment in the city. Of course it reintroduces two tone green to the streets after many years, something many couldn’t have predicted.
With clear skies predicted for lots of my shooting locations on Friday night, my decision wasn’t one of “should I go out and risk it being cloudy”, but more the case of deciding which location I should visit. Although I was faced with a drive of over two hours each way, it had been a couple of years since my last trip to these silos south of Goulburn, Australia, so that’s where I went. Despite two different cloud-forecast services indicating cloudless skies all night, there was a large cloud bank to the south, and southeast of the silos, seen here at the bottom right-hand corner of the photo.
Even though this is a rural locality, there is a car speedway off to the east, and its carpark lighting seems to be left on all night. That was frustrating, but one of the lights did provide a nice “starburst” effect through the support structures that hold up the silos.
Almost as bright as that light below the silos is the planet Jupiter, rising into the heavens and situated above the line between silos two and three (counting from the left). Like all photographs this one doesn’t convey the smells that were assailing my nostrils as I stood outside the compound, clicking away to try to get a few good shots.
For this single-frame photo, I used a Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/2.4, with an exposure time of 15 seconds @ ISO 6400.
As predicted, a more painterly edit of the Chinook pass Superpano. I'm to close to it to tell if I like it now, but I think I do. Compare to here
I think this will look probably look superb on my Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta
(and for goodness sake compare it large on black... its an epic landscape after all!)
Spring color is really kicking in with more trees and bushes starting to bloom. Of Corse next week they are predicting heavy overcast and wet.
groundhog predicts six more weeks of winter. oh joy.
TDS: It's Groundhog Day in the U.S. Make a photo that illustrates whether it's more like winter or spring where you live. #ds79
As many predicted when they first showed up on the property, the Progress Rail (EMDX) SD70ACe-T4s being leased by KCS have become rolling dirt magnets. Exhibit "A" is EMDX 7209 leading the M-KCVN on the UP Springfield Sub, about to cross the TRRA Illinois Transfer at Valley Junction in East St. Louis, IL in order to enter KCS' East St. Louis yard. 7209 has become a regular on this run, bouncing back and forth between Kansas City and St. Louis.
In trail: KCS AC44CW #4587 and KCS (ex-CN) GP40-2LW #2906.
Although you can't see its replacement for the trees, that searchlight on the KCS main to the left doesn't have much time left. In fact, it may already be gone; I haven't been down here in a week or two. All of Valley Junction is on the same trajectory. Get your pics now.

The Seventeenth Ion Prophecy - The Machine That Predict The Future by Daniel Arrhakis (2019)
With the music : Ninja Tracks - Dystopian State
The Seventeenth Ion Prophecy - The Machine That Predict The Future
As people navigate the global network, our tastes are recorded, but also our thoughts, our dreams, our fears, our ambitions, our relationships, what we buy and what we sell, what we love and what we hate, with whom we gather and with whom we share.
And the all-seeing machine, which registers everything, has become a gigantic calculator of statistical data translated into present and future past events.
With the ability to foresee our yearnings, our emotions, our reactions, our personal and social relationships, our political options, has become an obscure entity that sees everything and everything can predict, from a murder to a forbidden romance, from an idea to a meeting.
So every step we took was already known, every desire was fulfilled, every protest was repressed and the states and the big corporations guaranteed the World for ever as it should be ... without unforeseen ... statistically perfect and predicted to the essence of our soul!
The machine that predicted everything forgot to predict the day when it would break ... and on that day hung up forever because it was not planned to break!
On that day the humanity then relearned to be herself again without knowing what her future would be, only this time they could choose it freely!
______________________________________________
A Décima Sétima Profecia De Ion - A Maquina Que Previa o Futuro
Enquanto as pessoas navegavam na rede global, os nossos gostos são registados, mas também os nossos pensamentos, os nossos sonhos, os nossos medos, as nossas ambições, as nossas relações, o que compramos e o que vendemos, o que amamos e o que odiamos, com quem reunimos e com quem partilhamos.
E a maquina que tudo vê, que tudo regista, tornou-se uma gigantesca calculadora de dados estatísticos traduzidos em acontecimentos passados presentes e futuros.
Com a capacidade de prever os nossos anseios, as nossas emoções, as nossas reacções, as nossas relações pessoais e sociais tornou-se numa entidade obscura que tudo vê e tudo pode prever, desde um assassínio a um romance proibido, desde uma ideia a uma reunião.
Assim cada passo que dávamos já era conhecido, cada desejo era concretizado, cada protesto era reprimido e os estados e as grandes corporações garantiam assim para sempre o Mundo como ele deveria ser ... sem imprevistos ... estatisticamente perfeito e previsto até à essência da nossa alma !
A maquina que tudo previa esqueceu-se no entanto de prever o dia em que iria avariar .... e nesse dia desligou-se para sempre pois não estava previsto avariar !
Nesse dia a humanidade reaprendeu então a ser ela própria outra vez sem saber qual seria o seu futuro, só que desta vez podia escolhe-lo livremente !

More snow was predicted today for the area I live in, but it hasn't arrived. So with no snowscapes to photograph, I've been looking through my summer photos. As this beautiful tower stands on such a high point, I can get photos of it with lovely blue sky behind it. I visited the tower during a day out with my friend
Broadway Tower was the brainchild of the great 18th Century landscape designer, Capability Brown. His vision was carried out for George William 6th Earl of Coventry
with the help of renowned architect James Wyatt and completed in 1798.
It is one of England's outstanding viewpoints and at 1024 feet (312m) above sea level, it is the second highest point on the Cotswold escarpment. Unrivalled views survey an expanse of a 62 mile radius and as many as 16 Counties.
.... And plenty of it !!
Same photo as 6 days ago when there was just a light frost on the green........this is the 11th green on the golf course... but, this morning we woke up to about 7 inches of new snow covering everything.
The weatherman predicted rain showers overnight ..perhaps a few snowflakes .. hahahahhahah ..... and, to add to it...the power was out for several hours .. at least on our side of the street. The houses across the street seemed to still have lights on... coffee was late over here ...
The tree branches are weighed down to the ground on some trees with the heavy wet snow.... there will be broken branches all over the city I'm sure.
Driving will be a definite hazard... my boots collected a few inches of wet snow just walking across the street...imagine the cleats in winter tires? ...they will be made into slicks after two rotations of a wheel. Don't drive people! Wait a few hours....
This could be a very long winter......................................................
compare to the photo on the right in my Flickr...... the 11th green at Mapleridge Golf Course.
Thanks so much to everybody for the faves and comments .....
One can consider the presentation of this spectacular hardtop coupe as an ultimate afford to gain attention of the audience to persuade them for buying a Packard. The financial position of Packard was terrible in 1956. But it wasn't much of a help.
Richard 'Dick' Teague (Los Angeles, 1923-1991) designed the Predictor. It was built at Carrozzeria Ghia, Torino in Italy on a Clipper platform. In ninety days the Italians managed to get this project ready, just in time for the Chicago Car Show.
The Predictor had all kinds of new automotive features, like tilting headlights, roof doors rolled back when opening the door, lowering back window, swiveling seats, dashboard design which followed the hood profile, a power operated trunk lid, and a wraparound windshield that curved into the roof.
Many car brands copied several novelties: the grille at the 1958 Edsel, the roof line at the 1958 Lincoln Premier, the rear bumper at the 1958 Oldsmobile, opera windows or portholes in the rear pillar at the 1957 Thunderbird, and the headlights at the 1962 Corvette.
Only one Predictor was made. It still exists and is on display at the Studebaker National Museum, South Bend, Indiana (see photo).

This Sunday, October 17, the Photopills application predicted that the Moon would rise behind Mont Viso (Italy - 3848m) if we were at the top of Pain de Sucre (France - 3208m).
In addition to the loaded hiking bag (2 tripods, 2 cameras, 1 Sky Watcher 102/500 refractor, 1 300mm lens), the climb was dangerous because there was ice and there was no real path to get to the top of Pain de Sucre.
Although I am 9km from Mont Viso, it looks like a juggernaut.
In addition, helicopter rescue was not far away since the yellow helicopter passed in front of the Moon!
EXIFS:
- Canon 6D + Sky Watcher 102/500 (f / 4.9) on tripod.
- Panoramic photo composed of 4 images taken in portrait.
- Each photo is a single exposure of 1/800 ° of a second at ISO 200.

Ce dimanche 17 octobre, l'application Photopills prédisait que la Lune se lèverait derrière le Mont Viso (Italie - 3848m) si nous étions au sommet du Pain de Sucre (France - 3208m).
En plus du sac de randonnée chargé (2 trépieds, 2 caméras, 1 lunette Sky Watcher 102/500, 1 objectif 300mm), la montée était dangereuse car il y avait du verglas et il n'y avait pas de vraiment de chemin pour arriver au sommet du Pain de Sucre .
Bien que je sois à 9km du Mont Viso, ce sommet emblématique se présente comme un mastodonte.
De plus, la surveillance aérienne n'était pas loin puisque l'hélicoptère jaune est passé devant la Lune !

56105 brings up the rear of the Grimsby and West Yorkshire railhead treatment train, this leg being 3S13 08.51 Wrenthorpe Sidings (Wakefield) - Grimsby Town, seen going very slowly at Hatfield and Stainforth, approaching a red signal. 66848 is leading at this point.
Colas took over the operation of the York-based RHTT circuits from DRS this year, usually using 66s on the circuits that didn't run on the Scarborough - Hull line (where 66s are not permitted, and 37s have to be used). I'd found out the previous day that 56105 was deputising for a 66s on this train for one day only (allegedly - although it ended up on it all week!), and with every weather forecast I saw predicting wall-to-wall sun all day and nothing booked yet for work, I decided to take the day off and make the two-hour plus journey.
I'd been told that 56105 would lead on the return from Grimsby (3S14), so I wasn't bothered about getting shots of 3S13 (with the 66 leading, which I assumed - correctly - would be very dirty). However, I set off early enough to make it here (subject to traffic - which was fine), although I nearly went to Knabbs Bridge at Melton Ross (just east of Barnetby) where I thought there was a better chance of autumn colours.
I arrived at about 9.30am (about quarter of an hour before 3S13 was booked, although it was actually running about quarter of an hour late), and found the sun was almost exactly at ninety degrees to the track. Knowing that a partly-lit front of a 56 looks better than that of a 66, I decided to focus only on a going-away shot as that meant I got the 56 (and also didn't have to worry about standing at the side of the road with no pavement, or cross it in a hurry if I wanted both views). Of course, in the half an hour I was here, the sun moved round a little.
On previous occasions, I've successfully chased this train to Knabbs Bridge, but mostly because it used to have a pathing stop at Scunthorpe. However, there is now a direct road out of Stainforth (and Hatfield) to the M18 / M180 junction, so the journey takes less time. I don't know whether it was the new road or the fact the train was held here for a few minutes, but I easily made it to Knabbs Bridge - where I found the trees were much less golden than those in this view!
The exposure data shows that this was not taken in full sun. The thin cloud was burning off, but it was still a little hazy high in the sky - and in mid-November that makes a significant difference to the exposure. I was lucky, however, as a few minutes before the train appeared the light dipped very noticeably as the sun went behind a vapour trail for a minute or two... but then came back out, and stronger than it had been. However, by the time the train came back, all the high cloud had gone - although there looked to be cloud further to the west.
I was surprised to be alone here, although met someone at Knabbs Bridge and was with four others at New Barnetby for the return - and I know there were people at other locations.

As predicted the timing of the shower and the presence of the Moon adversely impacted the shower's presentation in this time zone. But there were meteors, several captured, among them this one transiting the Big Dipper at 6:06 am as the blue glow of the predawn was appearing behind the foothills. The foothills are lit by Moonlight the Moon being out of frame slightly picked up by the curvature of the 14 mm lens
another meteor: flic.kr/p/2koExMu.
They predicted Monday would be a beautiful summer day and we had to take advantage of it since it would rain again on Tuesday, so I went back to this park where there is also a small "zoo" with chickens, rabbits and donkeys.

The snow, that had been predicted a couple of days ago when I went out to photography the groyne images the other day, fell yesterday and covered the Grimsby, Ontario area with some 10cm of snow. In the backyard we have a couple of well-past-their-prime Muskoka chairs that had been painted a brightish pastel blue many years ago. That paint is now well weathered and peeled off in many places. I also have an old kitchen chair that was painted pink many decades ago. I have no idea why or by who. But its paint, while pretty much intact, has extensive cracking, creating a nice texture. I carefully walked out through the fresh snow, being careful not to leave footprints where they would show up in the image, placed the pink chair beside one of the Muskoka chairs and then cropped in-camera to keep only one of the Muskoka chairs and the pink kitchen chair. The result was a colourful pink and blue pastel subject set in a bright snow scene. - JW
Date Taken: 2021-01-27
Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D800 fitted with an AF Nikkor 70-210mm 1:4.0-5.6 non-D lense set to 125mm, ISO100, Daylight WB, Spot metering, Aperture priority mode, f/11.0, 1/100 sec with an EV+1.00 exposure bias to preserve the pastels. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: set final image size to be 9000px wide, crop the image to 5x7 aspect ratio to get rid of some intrusive materials on the left side and recentre to keep it more-or-less symmetrical, slightly brighten the image overall by setting exposure compensation to EV+0.40, use the black level tool and reduce its value to brighten the darkest areas while preserving highlight detail, use Shadows/Highlights to significantly recover shadow detail, sharpen (edges only), save. PP in free Open Source GIMP: I loaded the image as 2 layers and on the top layer added a white/opaque layer mask onto which I painted in the areas corresponding to the chairs (using soft-edged brush and white ‘paint’) to let them show through so I could adjust the brightness shed and snow brightness without impacting the chairs and then on the layer below (i.e. the chairs) of the image slightly slightly increased their saturation, create new working layer from visible result, use the colour balance tool to reduce a slight green colour cast, sharpen slightly, save, scale to 6000px wide, sharpen slightly, save, add fine black-and-white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 3000 px wide for posting online, sharpen very slightly, save.
Well, the cat's starting to get out of the bag, so here goes...
Basically, Adobe (the maker of Photoshop, etc) is starting a huge global campaign for their new Creative Cloud line. Like, a HUGE global campaign that's expected to hit millions and millions of people around the world and last for almost a full year. They held a competition and picked 12 student artists from around the U.S. who use Adobe products in their workflow. There were a few fashion designers, web designers, illustrators, and just two photographers... and I'm one of them!!!
A few weeks ago, Adobe representatives and a production team came to LA and filmed me for a full day, with an interview in my apartment, shooting an amazing sunset at the beach, working some processing magic on my shots, and just living and being crazy and being me. It was a total dream and I'm so, so lucky and fortunate to finally have had a major opportunity to shine. The footage is now being condensed into stills and a 2-minute video that tells my story of how I use my background in meteorology to predict the best weather for landscape photography and how I use Lightroom and Photoshop to breathe life into an image. Once the campaign starts in late August, they're telling me I'll be everywhere -- all Adobe social channels, all over their website, literally around the world. The producers told me they put my video and profile together first because they thought it was the best of the 12. I'll let y'all know when it comes out, but you probably won't miss it!
Regardless of how you feel about the new Creative Cloud, I just wanted to take a moment to thank anyone who has ever commented on or faved my images, or shown one of my photos to a friend, parent, coworker, or anyone else. You all are helping me live my dream, and I'd never be able to do it without you. Day by day, minute by minute... this thing called life is getting real. :))
I post this image now because this is the shot I'm processing in the video, using Lightroom!
all the best,
- Jeff

Watch the Video from this storm chase day on Flickr Click Here
A 10% tornado risk day when the SPC maps were out early in the morning on this day. Models had favorable for late afternoon severe storms to erupt right on the Nebraska Kansas Border.
Had been chasing storms past few days and the wear on the body was at hand. With this rare opportunity in 2020, a year of no tubes, we didn't want to miss this tornado event in my backyard if it happened. Sucked up the tiredness and snagged my chase partner in Hastings Nebraska and headed south into North Central Kansas. The prime of the predicted storm zone for that afternoon.
After the first storms initiation, we were watching out west with good development to our west... Mankato Kansas. Everything was moving almost due northeast that afternoon and we thought we could cut north and follow the storm cell that had the most promise of development.
On target and in position to intercept just to the south of Reynolds Nebraska we had our first Tornado of the year. Incredible bands of winds around this tornado was kicking up so much dust that it was almost haboobish.
After this encounter we headed back to the northeast to intercept again then back down to Nebraska Hwy 136 to Beatrice. All in all, we followed that same system till it merged with another cell. We followed the system eastward as the warnings stayed active. We did see a few wall clouds and funnel bases that afternoon but nothing as good as what we caught in Reynolds Nebraska. Not a bad way to end another epic storm chasing day!

Cayucos Creek mouth at the highest predicted tide of the year, 7.0 ft and then 6 hours later at minus tide.
Cayucos, California
The surf wasn't very big so I assume he was just doing it to say he had. When he got out, his first comment was, "I just tried not to swallow any water."
The predicted storm definitely wasn't worth getting out of bed for, but we did get some interesting sea conditions.
This is a crop from a high ISO larger image, so a bit of noise is present but hopefully you get the general idea behind the shot.
One can consider the presentation of this spectacular hardtop coupe as an ultimate afford to gain attention of the audience to persuade them for buying a Packard. The financial position of Packard was terrible in 1956. But it wasn't much of a help.
Richard 'Dick' Teague (Los Angeles, 1923-1991) designed the Predictor. It was built at Carrozzeria Ghia, Torino in Italy on a Clipper platform. In ninety days the Italians managed to get this project ready, just in time for the Chicago Car Show (see photo).
The Predictor had all kinds of new automotive features, like tilting headlights, roof doors rolled back when opening the door, lowering back window, swiveling seats, dashboard design which followed the hood profile, a power operated trunk lid, and a wraparound windshield that curved into the roof.
Many car brands copied several novelties: the grille at the 1958 Edsel, the roof line at the 1958 Lincoln Premier, the rear bumper at the 1958 Oldsmobile, opera windows or portholes in the rear pillar at the 1957 Thunderbird, and the headlights at the 1962 Corvette.
Only one Predictor was made. It still exists and is on display at the Studebaker National Museum, South Bend, Indiana.

A bit of a different hinting technique and I never caught the move. What looks like the edge of the water on the bank of the bayou is actually a drifting mass of water hyacinth that has set up it own tiny ecosystem on the bayou. This mass is being blown over the surface of the water by the wind. This Tri-colored Heron had set up station on the edge of the drift mass and would fly off over the water and attempt to snag fish while he was in flight. Not sure what type of weed is growing on the edge of the hyacinth, but it has also become a part of the drifting mass. They hyacinth in the background is a separate mass.
Also want to update everyone on tropical storm Imelda. The storm was expected to drift northward yesterday, but tropical storms always have a mind of their own. Instead of the storms drifting northward the flow has been a bit more to the southeast and is dumping huge amounts of waters on Houston. The flooding has begun, and we can only hope that it will be minimal, but that doesn’t ever seem to be the case around. I am high and dry, but a lot of residents are not that fortunate. I know that there is also flooding going on from Houston to Beaumont.

I also want to warn everyone about some gutter garbage people that are present here on Flickr. Perverts trolling for anything that they can put their filthy hands on. Seem like they have returned so make sure you know what you are looking at if your children are on here and have your safe search dialed in as well. Nothing is free from corruption any longer. It just took me far too long to get her posts deleted!!!!

The weather forecast had predicted cloudy skies for the 27th-28th night, but when I went to bed I was glad to see that the sky was entirely cloudless. I set my alarm clock for 4am.
I awoke from a slightly scary dream (a ghost made of light) and immediately thought "oh no, the clock hasn't rung, I've missed it". Then I got out of bed, thinking that I might still see some of the eclipse. It was dark outside, and I went back to my room, to check the clock. 4am! I'd awoken a few moments before the clock rung.
I stood outside taking photos for about an hour, witnessing the last sliver of penumbra leaving, and then returning. It was quite awe-inspiring to see the moon so red.
I showed it to my cat, telling him he probably wouldn't see it again, but he wasn't interested.

I thought the sky looked good for a decent sunset and popped out with my camera. Unusually, I predicted correctly this time!
I predicted a nice sunset and grabbed my camera and my graduated ND-filter and walked into the center of the town. I think it turned out pretty well!
(Some of you might have seen this yesterday, but I had to edit a little thing that bothered me, thats why I re-uploaded it! So please leave a comment and fav it again! :-))
I seem spend a lot of time in Adelaide for work and every time I go down I like to try and get out to take photos. This time I only took my camera with the 135m lens as I had planned to take photos of the Tour Down Under. In the taxi from the airport I started looking into the weather forecast for the weekend and noticed that it was predicted to be clear with the moon setting around midnight, perfect conditions for night photography. I couldn't help but think about how cool it would be to head up to the salt lakes and try some milky way and star trails over the salt lakes. I ended up hiring some gear and a car and made a mad dash out of the city up to a place called Lake Bumbunga. I found this place looking at an amazing local photographer Dylan Toh's flickr stream, who has done some amazing work in this location.
I ended up deciding that I would try and relive my recent trip to NZ and just sleep on location...... Big mistake with only a car to sleep in!! You just feel so exposed and it is impossible to sleep especially as I was completely unprepared for it.
Anyway this is a photo that I took in the morning as I wondered around the salt lake. It was bit dodgy as certain parts of the lake were still slightly soft and if you pushed too hard you ended up breaking through the salt crust into this black shit. I found these old railway tracks in the middle of nowhere and I can only guess that they were once used to transport the salt back to trucks on the edge of the lake???
Enjoy......
