So...Fog was predicted at Epping. So I made the two hour drive to get there and when I arrived there was none.
Not the end of the world, Ive learnt to take the weather forecast with a pinch of salt.
Still....had a nice morning there, and its a really lovely place to shoot. Mist or no mist.

predicts high of 85...low of 65... preciptation.. yes.. on my golden hair.. i have a nice home.......... aaaaaaaaaaaaah florida..
this shot was taken at my daughters little lake at early sunrise..
having woken up with a hot flashes.. I thought this would soothe anyones ailments for a little moment..
celebrating 2000 views!!
The predicted high cloud turned up and coloured up up just nicely at Sunrise.
This is the view from a lookout in Waverton which is a suburb of Sydney Australia
I don't know a ton about how the weather works but I have come to recognize that I generally see a nice sunset the day after it rains or when haze lifts in the afternoon. This trip fell under the latter category, as early morning fog shifted to haze before finally vanishing in the early afternoon. It's still hard to predict weather beyond that out here and nearly every day reads the same on the extended forecast: sunny and clear or sunny and hazy. Clouds creep in after dark and disappear by morning.
I headed out a bit late and well after the haze had already lifted. By the time I arrived and parked at Venice Beach, the sunset had already started so I found a clean area of beach and set up there quickly. I really intended to arrive in the late afternoon to take advantage of the 10 stop ND filter and maximize the short winter days but I hadn't quite realized yet how unpredictable LA traffic can be from one area to the next.
The first few trips to Venice had been beyond memorable (the third as well since I took Scotch down to the water on a crowded sunday afternoon) and I spent maybe 6 hours and taken roughly 500 long and short exposure shots on those days. I was a bit worried after the first sunset back in january that I'd only be disappointed by comparison so I tried to stay away from Venice for a little and explore further. By the end of February though, I was back at Venice and while the sunset above wasn't as intense as the previous 2, it did offer a really nice pinkish orange sky with a matching hue on the surf and shoreline.
Like the other trips, Venice as a whole was fairly quiet and the beach was mostly empty. In fact, I think there were more boats out at sea than people on the shore. I imagine it's possible to get used to the winter sunsets out here if you live in the area long enough, but I'll certainly never tire of them. The wind was calm and with the light fading, I mostly focused on the great patterns in the foreground along the beach and the break in the waves and used primarily just a CPL on my lens. It was one of those sunsets that lingers a bit after the sun has gone down and the sky and water remained this color until it slowly faded into night.
I haven't shot many sunsets the last few months in part due to weather not cooperating but also so I could spend a lot more time with my rapidly aging dog and get as many portraits of him while he's still willing and able. As I've mentioned numerous times, he's the main reason I got into photography in the first place and though I love taking his portrait, I'm beyond ready for fall weather and the return of some big, memorable sunsets. Hopefully Scotch will join me a few times whenever these sunsets return.

Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.

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.
The sunset was spectacular on 7 November.
As predicted by @SunsetWX, great job folks.
I was set up with the D850, and the 14mm f/2.8 Samyang with the two ND large Cokin filters. Set up the tripod and gimbal, and was able to get a few panorama’s.
The light is exquisite, and the clouds are truly Cotton candy pink for a few brief moments just before/after sunrise/sunset.
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.
I love the curvaceous edges of these propeller-like yellow blossoms! And the darker center seems to set them ablaze!
The stubby stems of the Frangipani hardly predict the delicate curling-edged blossoms that will emerge! Frangipani (or Plumeria) is easy to propagate here in South Florida. During the Spring, simply break off some good-size pieces from a friend's tree... with permission of course... and stick them in the ground. I frequently find discarded cuttings for trash pickup at the curb. Various Frangipani varieties come in pink, white, yellow and lavender so get a few of each if you can.
We have a Frangipani Archway between our house and our neighbors'. And it's in glorious full-bloom right now. Beautiful during the day, at night it's even more beautiful. The smell transports you to another world. Ah! It's no wonder the ever-so-fragrant Frangipani is a prime ingredient in some of the world's finest perfumes and the flower is in the Hawaiian lei.

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.
In case you haven’t already guessed, our few days away required us to drive through the country. We have had some quite good rain in the last couple of weeks after a record hot and dry summer. So South East Queensland country is looking particularly good and everyone is clapping their hands. The heat is still putting it’s head up a bit considering we are now into April with some temps in the +30 Celsius predicted this week. Not for too much longer hopefully.
This scene was taken out in the valley between Laidley and the very small township of Mulgowie, a great area for growing vegetables of all sorts.
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.
Sticking with bw for now, it is a medium that has always fascinated me. I am never able to predict whether the subject that I have taken at the time will make a good bw. I love your comments and I find that I can learn so much from them. So thanking you in advance for your insights they really help me to improve and enjoy my photography so much more. Have a great week ahead, I look forward to studying your fine images my friends.
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.

Predicting the color of a sand dune is pretty much like predicting what you’re going pick out of a box of mixed chocolates. There’s a range of possibilities and some definite patterns, but you will get surprises.
If you have an obsessively fixed idea of the color of sand, such variable outcomes could drive you to sticking with black and white conversions.
. . . After predicting a terrible ice storm, I was glad that we only had a little ice this morning! The roads were fairly good, and the only really dangerous spots were the sidewalks. The Redbud tree took on a nice looking white color!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
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.

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.
From the 'Photography can mirror what is happening in Life' file.
Though we have no crystal ball to predict the future, and day to day lives have been drastically changed in over a year of social distancing and lock downs, can we still find beauty when things seem blurred?
I am grateful and appreciative of walking outdoors, close to home during lockdowns, and enjoying nature's beauty. It is fun to wander slowly and breathe in the fresh air. This summery, warm morning, with a gentle breeze blowing was refreshing. A stand of large horse chestnut trees were forming a canopy above, their white flowers blooming. Some of the blossoms are falling, dotting the path ahead. There is sunshine, blossoms and more paths to follow. Looks like a fine day to explore.
And to have fun playing with Intentional Camera Movement.

Have a nice day! Keep smiling! :-)
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...
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.
well, I haven't posted anything for a long long time . . .
So for anyone out there who is still following me I wish you the very best for this New year!
I am back at work and have a late start today, doing a few chores but in the process saw this gorgeous little fella poking his head up above the recently cut lawn!
Today is predicted to be a real scorcher here so he won't last long, but in this short moment when the sun is just catching the dew drops , I took the time to document the now.

Yesterday, for the first time, we went for a walk on the trail through the Serpentine Fen. There were many people fishing along the steep banks and others came with their dogs, which necessitated us to keep a sharp eye for poopoo piles. It was a perfect Autumn day and the views were spectacular. Today rain is predicted so we can spend time sorting out the mess in our garage :) Have a good weekend my friends.
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)
Environment Canada predicts a colder winter with more snow than average. This past week has been wintry with 15 cm snow, freezing rain and fog. If this trend continues, the river may freeze up before the Christmas holidays limiting our paddle opportunities. Not a good thing for my 100 paddles project!
"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.
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.

NEW PROJECT: Since last summer, when I have been to Greece, I wanted to show you some photos, linked to a synopsis of Homers ODYSSEY ( IN 9 parts)

Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. (Odyssey) Homer
poseidon64.tripod.com/Odyssey.html
Synopses of Book I in The Odyssey.
The poet or narrator “invokes the Muse” asking her to start her story wherever she chooses, of our hero, Odysseus, who has travelled far and wide after the Trojan war. You see, Poseidon, who has kept Odysseus away from his land, Ithaca, is gone. The gods agree it’s time to let him come home. Athena descends to Ithaca, disguised as King Mentes, to talk with Telemachus, Odysseus’ son. The house is full of rowdy young men that are eating him out of house and home under the pretext of courting his mother, Penelope, who has not made up her mind about remarrying. Mentes or Athena predicts Odysseus’ return, prompts Telemachus to give up boyhood, act like a man, present his case to the assembly, and take strong steps to ascertain his father’s whereabouts. When Penelope comes down from her room to tell the bard Phemius to quit singing sad stories of Troy, Telemachus takes the chance to assert himself: he tells her to leave such matters to him, he is the master of the house.
Synopses of Book II
Telemachus hosts the first assembly since his father's abscence twenty years earlier. He's tired of the wasteful and annoying suitors that are eating up his estate and demands they leave. Antinous & Eurymachus (leading suitors) blame poor Penelope herself for their presence, they say if she'd pick one of them for her husband no one would waste her property. The assembly takes the side of the suitors but Telemachus asks for a ship, no action is taken and the assembly is no more. Telemachus prays to Athena (the favorite goddess of the house of Ithaca) and she comes to him in the form of Mentor, one of Odysseus' old friends. He(she) finds a ship, and a few volunteer crew members.

I seem to have this knack, much like the Met Office of predicting the wrong weather!
Just the other day I posted a hopeful spring pic of snowdrops! It had been a glorious day, 10c, sunshine, the smells of the earth warming......
This morning while walking the dogs round the field I was followed by a snow storm (literally!) I just about out walked it, came inside and took a pic from my sons room! Hence the Dragon & the Dinosaur on the window!
Winter Storm 'Juno' as it began last evening. No planes, trains or buses or any public transportation running and all roads are closed. (....although they've waived the tolls on the Mass Turnpike!?) Not as bad as originally forecast here in Western Mass, but still windy and cold with a little over a foot of snow predicted before it's done. Eastern parts of Massachusetts, the Cape and Islands are getting hammered, though, with hurricane force winds, flooding and 2+ feet of snow.
Star trail, single exposure lasted 1 hour, which replaces two other photographs of mine taken in previous years in this exact spot.
For various reasons I think this one is better.
This is in fact the third time I take a star trail in this exact place! A fair dose of perseverance is important in these things :-)
By the way, you are looking to the otherworldly area below the Freney, southwest face of Mont Blanc massif, Italian side. One of the most geometric locations of the Alps, because of the harmonious relationship between peaks, stars (the Polaris is exactly above the Aiguille Noire) and Earth's rotation.
From left to right: Mont Blanc de Courmayeur, Aiguille Croux, Aiguille Blanche, Aiguille Noire, Mont Rouge de Peuterey.
Above: Polaris
Faint light from west: moon (33%) just set
Light from east: the area of Courmayeur, many km far away but present in the form of light pollution.
One of the main reasons that lead me to continue this photographic activity is the joy of discovery. Sometimes I deliberately prefer to plan less in order to don't lose the ability to be surprised by something different and unexpected.
I guess this is why I'm also starting to appreciate more and more the star trails... yes, for the "tale of the unexpected" within this photographic genre.
Of course, knowing the cardinal point I'm directing my camera I can easily predict the shape that the trails of stars will assume (due to the Earth's rotation)... also, I can carefully choose the focus, composition, white balance, estimate according to the conditions of non-light the various settings, yes I can do this - I have to - although in pitch dark is rather tricky... nevertheless, just ask any sincere photographer, the end result of a star trail is always an enigma. A most pleasant one! :-)
It's amazing, in fact, to note the amount of light & colour a camera manages to capture at night, in the dark, just continuing to "observe" for an hour, constantly and relentlessly, the spot we have carefully chosen!
Well, this is indeed something that our eyes could never do, our eyes can look only frame by frame, we are technically not able to make the sum of light in time.
So, what to say, except "thanks to the cameras for this!" :-) ... for the chance to discover new things and also for helping us to think in a not too anthropocentric way, reflecting on the fact that there is not only our human way to see. Actually the way we see is only one possible reading of the "reality", so, let's discover the others!
