170636 zips by Lea Marston working 1V04 Nottingham to Cardiff Central some nice colour in the sky but the cloud base was already building.
I took a friend up onto Kinder Scout for the first time today, ascending with a scramble up Crowden Clough onto the plateau, across to Swines Back through the Wool Packs and down Jacobs Ladder.
The weather was very much the same as Tuesday, if not a little clearer. My friend concurred that the low cloud base and murk added to otherworldly feeling of the wind weathered landscape.
I took the liberty of holding up our hike and catch-up to snap this photograph, the light permeating under the cloud base and silhouettes of Swines Back and South Head looking too good to miss.
I took a little while to find my foreground, but I finally settled on this moss-covered boulder that almost reflected the profile of the peaks on the horizon. This perhaps didn't come through so clearly in the final photo, I think it just about holds it together though.

In meteorology, a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. These suspended particles are also known as aerosols and are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.
Terrestrial cloud formation is the result of air in Earth's atmosphere becoming saturated due to either or both of two processes; cooling of the air and adding water vapor. With sufficient saturation, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga, which evaporates before reaching the surface.
Clouds in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface, have Latin names due to the universal adaptation of Luke Howard's nomenclature. It was introduced in December 1802 and became the basis of a modern international system that classifies these tropospheric aerosols into several physical forms or categories, then cross-classifies them into families of low, middle and high according to cloud-base altitude range above Earth's surface. Clouds with significant vertical extent are often considered a separate family. One physical form shows free-convective upward growth into low or vertical heaps of cumulus. Other forms appear as non-convective layered sheets like low stratus, and as limited-convective rolls or ripples as with stratocumulus. Both of these layered forms have middle- and high-family variants identified respectively by the prefixes alto- and cirro-. Thin fibrous wisps of cirrus are a physical form found only at high altitudes. In the case of clouds with vertical extent, prefixes are used whenever necessary to express variations or complexities in their physical structures. These include cumulo- for complex highly convective vertical nimbus storm clouds, and nimbo- for thick stratiform layers with sufficient vertical depth to produce moderate to heavy precipitation. This process of cross-classification produces ten basic genus-types or genera, most of which can be subdivided into species and varieties. Synoptic surface weather observations use code numbers to record and report any type of tropospheric cloud visible at scheduled observation times based on its height and physical appearance.
While a majority of clouds form in Earth's troposphere, there are occasions when they can be observed at much higher altitudes in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Clouds that form above the troposphere have common names for their main types, but are sub-classified alpha-numerically rather than with the elaborate system of Latin names given to cloud types in the troposphere. These three main atmospheric layers that can produce clouds, along with the lowest part of the cloudless thermosphere, are collectively known as the homosphere. Above this lies the heterosphere (which includes the rest of the thermosphere and the exosphere) that marks the transition to outer space. Clouds have been observed on other planets and moons within the Solar System, but, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.

When I say sky scraper I mean it in the true sense of the word. The 309 metre (1,014 ft) high Shard, the tallest building in London, really does look as if its tip is tearing a hole in the cloud base.
Despite being partially hidden from view it still towers above everything around it. I'm planning on going up it at some point to take advantage of the fantastic views it offers. As far as I'm aware it's a 'behind glass' experience and you cant actually shoot outside. Anyone know?
This shot was taken from Tower Bridge; it's a handy location to shoot the south bank of the River Thames even if the heavy traffic can make it vibrate somewhat. You just have to pick your moment especially if you're on the centre section.
Most of the buildings you can see, with the exception of the Shard and Guy's Hospital next to it, are part of prestigious More London Estates development. They include City Hall, (the bulbous shaped building far left) a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop (neon blue area), office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianised area containing open-air sculptures and water features. To the right of the shot is the light cruiser HMS Belfast and London Bridge.

Dull and cloudy evening, just a few patches of light occasionally picking out something. Briefly a patch fell on the hillside near the peak of North Barrule in the background... it typically it's hidden beneath a low cloud base, even in summer, so I should be grateful it put in an appearance.

I was hoping to get out with the camera this afternoon , but it's only 7C & the cloud base is so low, that I couldn't even see A9C-HAK passing over the house a few minutes ago (1326) at only 2,500ft!!

Rolling into city limits on the western side of the city. This storm had the perfect light reflecting off of it.
Nice Rain / Hail core just north of the city with the cloud base all the way to the south side of the city. Impressive light creating some cool storm imagery against this storm cell.

The Fernsehturm (English: Berlin TV Tower) is a television tower in central Berlin, Germany.
This photo was taken on approach into Berlin in a special low fog situation, with a very low and thin cloud base leaving only "Alex" visible and the whole city covered with a cloud layer.
Close to Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte, the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the administration of the German Democratic Republic. It was intended as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today,[1] as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany, and the second tallest structure in the European Union (by half a metre).
The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the country and is often in the establishing shot of films set in Berlin. Due to its location near Alexanderplatz, the tower is occasionally called "Alex" Tower. With almost 1.2 million visitors every year, the Berlin TV tower is one of the most popular attractions for tourists in Berlin. From 203 and 207 metres high you can look out over the entire city with its large number of tourist attractions.
The mighy A340 climbs nose high shortly after takeoff. Half of its long fuselage has vanished into the thick cloud base above, within an instant of this frame being recorded she will be gone, the low defeaning grumble of her 4 overworked motors the only thing left behind ....

an air filled celluloid cloud. A comment on repurposing and an exploration of the relationship between Cloud based technology and the informed consumer. What is the Cloud? Where is it and can we trust it with our most prized files? We need to encourage a healthy skepticism as we try to better understand the technology. The cloud shaped void at the center of the installation represents the unknown and uncertainty of the 'Cloud'. And whilst there is no empirical evidence suggesting the concepts is flawed, let's continue to question the pros and cons.

There was some heavy cloud up here yesterday as the sun began to dip. It made for some unusual and strong colours as the sun moved through the small gap between the cloud base and the horizon.
This was my final frame of the day - a long exposure made after the sun had departed.

W/O 08/03/05 - Charallave-Óscar Machado Zuloaga Airport(SVCS)Venezuela. As the airplane broke through the cloud base at 800 feet during the second attempt to land at runway 28, it was not properly lined up with the runway. To avoid a collision with the control tower, the Citation turned right. The aircraft then crashed and burned.
I was blessed to be able to witness this beautiful sunset atop Evergreen Mountain Lookout in Washington this past weekend. The low cloud base at about 5000 feet made for some unique golden light rays shining through the trees. I think this photo is a good example of why "golden hour" is called golden hour.
I feel as though I've broken free from a self induced mind trap this week. You see, as retirement gets closer, on my hour long drives to work in the early hours of the morning I had begun to ruminate about "where am I with my photography". My spirit still feels as though I am 30, but my aches and pains tell my mind that I am old, and that is where I was feeling like I've been left at the starting gate with photography. Added to that feeling was the realization that as my wife and I plan our retirements out financially life is still throwing curve balls at us with a couple of expensive home repairs (I suppose buying an older home those will come up). So the thought of having to upgrade my 10 year old computer now because the newest version of Photoshop wouldn't run on my system was weighing on me as well. BUT then lightening struck! I had not realized that even though Adobe is a cloud based monthly subscription and would not update on my ancient Mac that I could still use older versions that WOULD work.
After figuring this out I feel revitalized and I have also realized that even though I cannot hike as quickly as I once could with a bag of gear, I can now enjoy the details along the journey. :-)

Lightning is always present
Glimmering within the Ominous Cloudset
Shimmering Wonderful Light
Under the Base of a Thunderstorm
It Illuminates the Night!
Once I hear that rumble of thunder with all my gear set up! I get a chance to watch the illumination of the cloud to cloud-base lightning. Under the base of a thunderstorm as it approaches. Don't always get to see a bolt, but that's not the point of this video. It is the light.
Haven't made a new videos since last December so I thought it was time.
*** Note
If I have inspired you to watch the video to the end and you like this type of imagery.... I would highly suggest a visit to my Album here on Flickr called Illuminate the Night. Over 3200 images there now & I'm adding more all the time!

Taken 26 Aug 21 with Fujifilm X-T3. This storm was about 25 miles away over northern Colorado. The cloud to ground strikes illuminated rain shaft while possible anvil crawlers with multiple branches extended horizontally beneath the cloud base.

Picture of the Day
This photo possibly falls in to the category of not being that eye-catching, but I'm posting it anyway as the moment in time was definitely eye catching for me.
This morning was spent soaring over Morrone on a slightly foreboding looking day; the sky was fairly cloudy, and rain could be seen approaching from the depths of the Cairngorms. It all ended up flanking south, and when a little bit of sun broke through to warm up the heather-covered hills, we were soon up at cloud-base, and for a moment I found myself treading carefully in the white room, at the edge of a cloud that I'd climbed under and stayed a little too close to. Aiming for light, I broke through the side of the cloud, and in that moment I was presented with tunnel-like vision of sunny Braemar below me. A few seconds later I took this shot, which isn't nearly as dramtic but I still like the last fragments of cloud floating in front of me.
Late day winter sun strikes the Toiyabe Range over the Reese River Basin. Classic Nevada basin and range landscape near Austin, complete with lenticular wave clouds. Based on a topo of the area, I speculate the prominent peak is Bunker Hill, but need to research a bit more to be sure.
I decided to upload this image (although not perfectly aligned) because of the unusual contrast between the towering cumulo-nimbus and its cloud base. It almost looks like the thunderstorm is beyond a mountain ridge as some moisture in the form of low clouds is spilling over it. It's all about lighting and timing in order to capture something interesting and different.
Sometimes patience is a huge asset, and can make or break an image. Now, to be fair, we don’t always have the time to wait for a scene to come together, nor is it often easy to return to a location to get better conditions. With this scene, however, I ended up doing both.
We camped near here on our hike north, and again on our path south. On our first path through the area, I had scouted this lovely little scene for a sunrise image, but unfortunately it didn’t pan out for me. I ended up with gloomy skies, and not a drop of tasty light. On the way back south, however, incredible light was common almost all day. When we arrived in the area, I went straight here to set up. While the exciting light was persistent throughout the day, the cloud base was just a hair too low. You couldn’t see the top of the peak. I ended up waiting quite a while for a moment of clarity, and thankfully that ended up being this image. Moments later and the peak was obscured again. Incredible day.
Late afternoon sunlight breaks through the clouds above Hope Valley to send catchlights down to the valley floor and on to Lose Hill which stands at the end of the Great Ridge, leading from Mam Tor.
I hung around to se if a hint of sunset colour would come through the low cloud base, but as would be expected, it was very subtle at best, which is fine by me as I am not a fan of strong sunrise/sunset skies as too often they unbalance an image.
Decided to trial my new 300mm f2.8 prime lens this afternoon at LHR. Some of the most challenging conditions I have ever photographed faced us when we arrived. It was grey, wet, miserable and with a 800ft cloud base.

This image shows a section of the Taurus Molecular Cloud based on a combination of data from ESA’s Herschel and Planck space telescopes. The bright areas in the picture shows the emission by interstellar dust grains in three different wavelengths observed by Herschel (250, 350, and 500 microns) and the lines crossing the image in a ‘drapery pattern’ represent the magnetic field orientation (based on the Planck data.)
This molecular cloud is one of the closest regions of star formation, at around 450 light years from us, and is known to contain more than 250 young stellar objects. The section in this image shows the archetypical example of a filament in a star-forming cloud. The main filament that stretches from the left of the image and curves up to the hub is known as the Lynds Dark Nebula 1495 (L1495).
L1495 contains several Barnard Dark Nebulae, which are dust-filled regions cataloged by astronomer Edward Bernard in 1919 and known as Barnard Objects. Dark nebulae are extremely dense regions of dust that obscure visible light. The central bright region is known as B10, with B211 and B213 stretching out from the bright area.
The B213/L1495 nebula is a clear example of a star-forming region where the magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the main filament, and also contains striations, or material that appears perpendicular to the filament.

We went to Cosford Air Show yesterday. I took HUNDREDS of photographs and was disappointed in all but a couple of them. I now have an even greater regard for aviation photographers!
The weather wasn't ideal; overcast with a low cloud-base and towards the end of the day, drizzly. I didn't have enough "reach" with the equipment I was using (OK, here come the excuses) and was uncertain as to the best settings to use. I think it was a matter of "all the gear and no idea".
All the images very very "flat". This was one of (what I consider); my better shots. It has required a considerable amount of aggressive post-processing to make it look anywhere near decent. This is an area of photography where I need considerably more practice!

View from the Niesen towards south into the Kander valley.
The Niesen is a mountain of the Bernese Alps in Swizerland. It overlooks Lake Thun, in the Bernese Oberland region, and forms the northen end of a ridge that stretches north from the Albristhorn and Mannliflue, separating the Simmental and Kandertal valleys.
Administratively, the summit is shared between the municipalities of Reichenbach im Kandertal, to the south-east, and Wimmis, to the west and north. Both municipalities are in the canton of Bern.
The summit of the mountain (2362 metres) can be reached easily by using the Niesenbahn funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.
Because of its shape, the Niesen is often called the Swiss Pyramid.

Sunset at Trifels Castle - View from Slevogtfelsen
In the evening, the clouds opened up for a spectacular sunset. Just before the sun set in the west, the last rays of the sun illuminated the lower cloud base and set it on fire. The aperture was set to 22 in order to create a significant aperture star.
Simply incredible looking DOWN on the area of rotation. Lots of turbulence underneath, but unsure if there was any actual tornadic circulation. Look closely, that cloud base is perhaps 50-70 feet off the ground.

The weather had been disappointing for most of the afternoon but eventually the sun dropped from under the cloud base and the low light briefly illuminated the mountain side.
Sunrise ... At 6.10am it snuck under the cloud base and glowed. Looking towards the tip of Shelly beach from Manly beach.
There are moments in chasing that I truly can't believe that I captured. This was one of those moments. I remember growing up, seeing images as dramatic as these but never could I imagine I'd have a staple like that one day.
I captured this dramatic image of the debris raining down on me from the Lincoln, Nebraska tornado as it approached i80. My position to the storm and the sunlight illuminated the tall tornado a ghostly white, while it chucked chunks of red earth into the cloud base from the shear violence of the winds. This same moment was captured via my GoPro mounted to the roof of my car. I was going to upload a full length video with this included. But, this moment I really feel warrants its own spotlight. Enjoy!

Been playing with Lightroom on the phone. The app can utilize the phone's camera.
It doesn't record the image into the phone's Photos app. It records into the Lr app. When there is a decent internet connection, the phone's Lr app uploads the photo to the Lr cloud.
I began editing in the phone's Lr app. The phone's screen is a bit small for editing, so then when home, I continued editing in the cloud based desktop Lr app.
From there, edit in Photoshop was chosen.
In Ps, it was saved as a tiff file, but saved to the Lightroom Classic app. It went back and forth from LrC to Ps a couple times as I kept seeing things I'd missed.
Finally it was exported to here from LrC, which is why that version of Lightroom shows in the exif here.
I'm enjoying shooting with the phone's Lr app and then playing around with the photos in both the cloud based Lr and then the classic Lr and Ps.
