The last shot of this train from this short chase. Ice clings to the grass as LTEX 4465 leads an eastbound KYLE train between Edson and Brewster. The jointed rail and train glint the setting sun as golden hour falls over the frozen plains. NW Kansas faired pretty well from what was predicted with Winter Storm Blair. I was hoping for some winter action but minimal snowfall and freezing fog is all we received.
The Cauldron, Glencoe, Scotland
I won’t bore you all with the history behind this reasoning but if I go to Glencoe specifically to photograph Glencoe I stay in the Kingshouse Hotel right in the heart of the area. It’s a bit of an indulgence I know but it cuts down on the driving and it’s nice to be able to look out the window to see what the weather is actually doing rather than relying on the various weather apps we Togs fill up our phones with.
Another of the benefits of staying at The Kingshouse Hotel is that it’s a very short walk to a small set of waterfalls that someone (a Tog I expect) named ‘The Cauldron’. I’ve seen it flowing pretty full and also quite dry but never frozen before. I have to say when I got there on my first full day in Glencoe I was quite taken aback at the degree of freezing that had occurred.
Normally I’d have been down in the water with my wellies and tripod but I could not predict how thick the ice would be, what depth the water beneath it was and, even if I’d risked it, one crack in the ice and many a composition would have been ruined!
I therefore contented myself with shooting from a ledge or with the tripod and camera only resting on the ice. Me being me I spent quite a while shooting various photostacked and bracketed images (and both as a series) trying various compositions. They haven’t all worked out and others I’m in two minds about however just the fun I had looking at the frozen water and being out in those conditions were more than enough.

Predicting where an otter might bring ashore prey can be tricky. On this occasion today, it brought the fish out, not where I predicted, but about 15 feet in front of where we were lying!
Ah well.
... of colour! In our garden Spring is definitely springing. A profusion of colour all around ...
Apologies for absence of late - Flickr hit me with changing the mobile site - as I use that most of the time I was not best pleased with a new layout and navigation ... Soo still faffing around trying to get to grips with it - I am back on the Mac for ease of use at the moment ...
Will try and catch you all soon xx
I had predicted this little fellow for March the first but he did not show until today. Sorry, was off a bit. Always the first yellow rump to show up at Buttertubs Marsh every year for the past five years or so.
Predicting mid-90s today. Summertime!!!

I am not predicting that Sheboyvgan’s South Pier will eventually be another Atlantis, HOWEVER....I AM amazed at the tons of gravel being brought in for the pier restoration project AND water levels of river and lake are high. Sinking!
This was originally a photo that I took of the riverfront. I used Photfox photo-editing app to create this aquatic scene.
Another shot from the majestic Derwentwater at this great little remote location looking out over the mountains at the exact moment of sunset.
This was the last image of a very productive day, I'd meant to be getting up here for sunrise this morning but that had to be binned after the previous evening my football team (Wigan Athletic) unexpectedly knocked one of the best football teams in Europe (Man City) out of the FA Cup so more than a few beverages were consumed after the match! so getting up at 4am was pretty much off the agenda...
Anyway, the weather forceast had predicted a dull cloudy day so I wasn't expecting much up here, thankfully the weaher forecast was totally wrong with great light during the day and a superb sunset which is often the case, now I'm not a meteorologist in anyway shape or form but I'm pretty sure if I ever fancied a career change I could just make up some random weather forecast the day before on telly and there's half a chance it might be right!
For a change though the weather had been kind to me, and standing around in the water for an hour or so here I was rewarded with a nice show come sundown for once, the day after I bumped into another photographer at Buttermere and he said he had shot sunrise on this morning, and he said it was pretty poor so it turns out that staying in bed was the right choice on this occasion, as you always feel like you've missed something good if you don't make the effort to get up.....
Well, our Met. Office predicted a few weeks ago that with Global Warming it is unlikely we will see snow in England again. Hah! No wonder you cannot plan a picnic with our forecasters.

This movie has equal billing with Walker Bros for Walkers "unkown until now" major screen role as JC (thats Joan Crawford and not Jesus Christ!) in his remake entitled "Mildred Pierced" about a woman who eventually owns a chain of tattoo and piercing centres.

Often times, there is a somewhat low probability that we'll be in the right place at the right time. One of the things I've learned over the years is that increasing the probability of chance events drastically improves successful events. One of the key skills I've developed over the years is reading and predicting weather. Now, I still have what I consider to be a rudimentary skill in this department, however, events like these, where I drive three hours in the dark to get to a place I've never seen because the weather patterns look favorable for the morning seem to indicate I'm getting better at it, slowly but surely. Or maybe I just got lucky again, who knows. Shortly after this moment it started dumping snow as it's about 10 degrees F at the time of this shot.
As a side note - I have a few landscape calendars left for 2021. Really just a few. Message me if you'd like to purchase one - or you can find the posting on Etsy.
The annual Liverpool Santa Dash event marked its 20th festive race in the city, with thousands of people donning their beards, hats and red (and blue) suits to race along the 5k route around the city centre in support of Claire House Children's Hospice. It is predicted that around 8,000 people took part in the charity event.
the course took runners through the Royal Albert Dock and onwards into the heart of the city and then on to the finish line outside Liverpool Town Hall.
After a rainy start to the day, the sun eventually came out for the runners, who made their way around the course dressed in a range of outfits. While most opted for the Santa outfit, others came as elves and there was even a grumpy Grinch in the mix.
The BTR Liverpool Santa Dash welcomes everyone—whether walking, jogging, or running. Wheelchair users and even tiny Santas in prams or pets are encouraged to join.
Bennerley Viaduct has been on my 'to do' list for a long time. The weather forecasters had predicted minimal wind, clear skies and mist, but as soon as I looked out of the window after waking up I could tell that the prevailing weather was breezy and cloudy. Nevertheless, I decided to go to the location and treat the trip as a recce for future images. As this was a new location, I spent a fair amount of time walking around the site, working out potential compositions and just admiring the impressive Victorian engineering of the viaduct. After a fruitless half hour or so, I began to think about potential images in monochrome. I figured that the pale, featureless sky would be a perfect backdrop to show off the dark outline of the viaduct. The old wooden gate guarding an entrance to nowhere provided me with the perfect foreground element.
Auroras were thought by some to be spirits of their departed friends dancing in the sky.
So having a Church in the foreground seems appropriate,
& this black church is a real beauty
Religion itself just passed me by. I think I only managed a couple of Sunday school classes before being overcome with boredom. Being forced to go to church didn't last long either - never could do the "We follow you like sheep dear Lord" stuff, just because everyone else did. - still waiting for something to convince me about religion although the Church works well here.
If you stop & consider how incredibly complex & magical life is - I do believe there's something spiritual going on & that our soul may live on when our bodies die.
I'm convinced my wife was a fly in a previous life - which explains her abject fear of spiders :)
Swiftly on before things get too dark & maudlin...
This was a lucky shot, our 7th successful night out of 9 Aurora wise.
We'd driven over in Aurora chasing mode from the North side of the peninsular, which was completely obscured by cloud - the weather forecast was spot on, predicting a break in the cloud here.
We set up on the lawn & the lights kicked off just long enough to get half a dozen shots before the clouds you see here blew over & engulfed the shot completely. A very small window of opportunity but luckily we caught it just in time.
I reckon someone up above was smiling down on us??? :))
Thanks for all the comments & faves which are much appreciated :)
As predicted by some of my fotter mates i was at Chaloners whin/Askham bar for 60044 "Dowlow" passing with 1Z24 the 11.38 York to Drax P.S. `Martin House` charter,
Recently repainted and newly named 66190 "Martin House Children`s Hospice" was rear gunner 02/06/2023.
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.

Isolde speaking to Tristans spirit through art. The peacock feathers in her dark bouquet predict she will die of sorrow soon.
Spiritists around the 'fin the siècle' would use photography to try to capture the spirits they invoked during seances. Not always succesfully and manipulated pictures with fake ghosts were often used to prove that talking to spirits was real.

The predicted high cloud turned up and coloured up up just nicely at Sunrise.

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.

45118 The Royal Artilleryman approaches Copleys Brook (west of Melton Mowbray), working the outward leg of Locomotive InterCity Ltd.'s "The Master Cutler", 1Z45 08.35 Leeds - St. Pancras International. 47593 Galloway Princess is on the rear. [Pole, 5/6 sections (~6.8m)]
Although this railtour was on my radar, I hadn't intended going out for it because the weather forecast was poor. In fact, had the weather forecast for today been good, I would have likely spent the day at the Mid Norfolk Railway Diesel Gala! But with clear skies predicted for a few hours immediately after sunrise I'd gone out (very early) to the Grantham area for the diverted Caledonian Sleeper, and then moved to a couple of spots north of Newark for several southbound class 91 workings as the clouds were not filling in quite as quickly as expected.
Since Melton Mowbray wasn't particularly far away, I went over for this, which was due at about 11.15am. The weather app was now showing some breaks in the cloud for a bit longer, although there was also a passing shower. I could see a small patch of blue sky in the distance and some brightness on some very distant fields, although it didn't look like it would arrive in time... but you can always be hopeful!
1Z45 lost a few minutes around East Midlands Parkway, and was about ten minutes late when it reached Syston. Signalling maps showed it didn't immediately get a clear signal, and I was wondering (hoping?) if it might be held to run behind the Cross Country passenger train. But that was not to be, although 1Z45 is recorded passing Frisby twelve minutes late. The light levels, however, were increasing as the cloud thinned. I heard the train approaching, and the cloud thinned even more as it came into view. It was far from full sun (the sun completely cleared the cloud for a short period a few minutes after 1Z45 had passed), but the slightly diffuse lighting has probably improved the image as by this time of day less than four weeks before the summer solstice the light is quite harsh - just look at some of the pictures from the Swanage Railway Diesel Gala two weeks previously.
But I couldn't believe how much the light had improved - just ten minutes before the train had been due, a light rain shower was just finishing!
Unfortunately, today was slightly windy, and the wind caught the pole and angled it slightly downwards. Adding in extra sky would have been tricky although not impossible, but I didn't have any extra sky to work with. It was therefore much easier to give the image a 16:9 crop. This was the first time I'd done a shot looking this way from this spot, where you are stood slightly below track level, and I had been wishing I'd done the shot from further back, on the other side of the stream, which would have made it a bit easier.

Back to the coast, I had planned
on going to Corfe castle this morning as the weather forecast predicted a strong chance of mist but as I got closer to my destination I could see no mist. Plan B was to go to a place I had been to once during the summer in the middle of the day. Climbing down on to Dancing Ledge while it was still dark was going to be a bit of a challenge.
Recently identified by Issac Asimov's Download while he was touring with Space Z Corporation. Dr Asimov shared that he had noted the likelihood of purple ferns zipping around Mars at roughly the same time he predicted man-made satellites orbiting earth.
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.

We had a great time in Black Hawk. Luckily the mountain didn't get as much snow as predicted so our drive home was smooth.

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 made plans to photograph the November 8, 2022 lunar eclipse over some petroglyphs in Bishop, California. It made sense to photograph something timeless over something ancient. But the weather forecast turned terrible, and a storm was forecast to cover most of California. The trip's goal morphed and became "let's photograph snow at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest." The Bristlecones are the oldest trees on Earth, with some of them reaching 5000 years old.
As Matthew Saville and I drove from Los Angeles north toward the Sierra mountains, we noticed the storm was predicted to hit the Bristlecone Pine Forest shortly before sunrise. The eclipse might be possible after all!
We set up cameras, expected the worst, and went to bed. I awakened in the twilight before sunrise and a few inches of snow had fallen. I woke up Matt and we ran to collect the cameras, which had been partially buried. As we reviewed the photos in the blustery, well-below-freezing predawn air, we were amazed to see that the storm clouds blew in exactly as the eclipse ended. We had managed to photograph it! We captured the timeless over the ancient after all.
This photo is a stack of about 300 30-second exposures on a Sony A7R3 and a Sigma 20mm f/1.4. I also did a single long exposure, and might post that as well for comparison. Update: here.
Calsky predicted first contact would be 11:12 25.6seconds however I spotted it at 11:11 40s. This image was at 11:12 07 and is clearly visible, I think this is because of this prominence.

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.
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.
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.
taken on Monday 15th January 2018, when tropical storm Berguitta had already formed and was predicted to be heading in the direction of Mauritius.
(Photo taken whilst snorkelling)
Well the met office predicted some great weather in the lakes so i planned an early start to Haweswater to catch sunrise, as i climbed up high to a good vantage point it soon became apparent that the met office had done the usual and got it completely wrong, low cloud and poor light.

Follow me on:
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.

Today rain was predicted so out came the clear umbrellas. It barely rained and it came very late afternoon so I had 5 minutes of light to work with, but, I actually have some photos I'm pleased with.
Once again apologies for my lack of commenting this year, and also for not saying thank you to you all for your lovely comments.
Oh, and title refers to the number of actual raindrops. Sigh.
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! :)

As predicted earlier my enforced Flickr layoff is still ongoing.
A move of house and a health matter have taken most of my time. Matters were made worse when on the morning we exchanged contracts for the sale of our long term home we received news that our proposed property purchase was likely to fall through. In this current economic climate we didn't want to loose our sale so ended up moving out and took up a kind offer of short term accommodation from my pal Mark. The house purchase duly fell through and we moved to Scarborough where we have no w-fi and the internet reception is next to no use. Ordinarily we would have visited local coffee shops to take advantage of their wi-fi but my doc is still telling me to keep well clear of any indoor venues.
In the meantime we are using Scarborough as a great base to explore.
This picture was taken on a trip to Whitby. It was 07.00 o'clock in the morning, the town was beautifully quiet with next to no one else on the streets. The 1909 built swing bridge that crosses the River Esk has just opened to allow a couple of small fishing craft out of the inner harbour. The sun would soon make an appearance and the town would slowly come back to life.
I will struggle for online access so please do accept my apologies for my absence and inability to respond to the postings of my valued Flickr contacts. Fingers crossed normality will return once we have moved home.
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.
