One of the down sides to night photography is the risk to personal safety. For most of us, there is a certain element of risk heading to an unfamiliar area after dark, often carrying significantly expensive camera equipment. This photo for me was a bit of a wake up call as to the nasty side of humanity.
I arrived on location during the late afternoon, happily capturing plenty of shots hoping for a spectacular sunset - which never eventuated. It was cold and wet and when the sun set, the light disappeared quickly into darkness. Having been on location for a couple of hours, I felt more than comfortable with my surroundings.
It was during this long exposure shot that I had a rude awakening. I was approached by an older gentleman who inquisitively asked what I was doing. No big deal, it happens regularly. He asked a couple of innocent questions about the subject matter for my photo. The conversation soon turned nasty when he began abusing me for my “boring” choice of subject matter. He told me I was wasting my time and that people are only interested in photos of people. He became highly aggressive, even urging other passers-by to join him in his argument. Fortunately, his rant caught the attention of a couple out walking their dog who came to render some me assistance and convinced him it was time to move on.
It’s sad that people like this can ruin your day and stop you from doing what you love.
The moral of my story, be aware of your surroundings, not just whatever you’re photographing, and preferably do it with a friend - particularly if you’re out after dark.
On a mostly stormy afternoon, a small pocket of sunshine lights up Montana Rail Link’s Bozeman turn on the curve along the Yellowstone River leaving Columbus, Montana. MRL SD45 No. 355 and SD40-2XR No. 252 power the westbound local on July 2, 2019.
Meijer Gardens, one of the top-rated gardens of North America, does it all. There are multiple conservatories representing different environments, sculpture gardens, children's gardens, Japanese gardens, concert venue, and butterfly garden, and other specialties.
The sculpture in the foreground, "Warts and All", is by British artist Peter Randall-Page.

Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming
USA
Winter wonderland in Yellowstone National Park. In some areas of Florida there are three types of pine trees, but we have no snow. This landscape image has snow-covered trees in the front, and the tree covered mountains peeking through in the background. It was a day when it snowed so the sky was dark.
I went to Yellowstone National Park for five days, photographing the land and wild animals there. The last two days in the park, it snowed. The temperatures during the day were in the lower to mid-30s and lower to mid-teens at night.
We spent four days in the park, each one about 8 hours long, up at sunrise and returning to West Yellowstone, the town, at night. Our mode of transportation within the park was by snow coach. Stepping off the main roads could cause one to sink in the snow up to three feet, which I did about three times during the trip.
took this l.e Pano one day after work last week. noticed these dark clouds rolling in of the bay.. was hoping for some more action from them but unfortunatly not much eventuated from them :(

Saint Basil the Great is a small church with a unique mixture of architectural styles. The golden dome and cross reflect the church's denomination, Byzantine Catholic. The rest of the building is very modern and non-descript, probably because of convenience and lower expense.
Because its setting is surrounded on three sides by a public park, the church seems to be tucked into a forest, which frames its appearance very nicely.
Were on our way to Engelberg from Mount Titlis when the sun decided to show it's face and I was lucky enough to capture this magnificent scene.

Looking to get to the best position for this incoming shelf cloud! Moved again to get the best advantage for my captures. Now east side of Kearney on some new roads still under construction, no traffic and all open sky that I want.
This storm cell eventually developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

Birds roosting on telegraph wire in rural Lincolnshire. Very Hitchcockian. I took this from the passenger seat of a car cooped up in a line of traffic on the A17.

Had to find a better place due to where the storm was coming in from. I had reposition myself right next to the High School football field. Long extended ditch that has a small roadway. Couldn't have asked for a better open sky than this.
This storm was moving rather slowly about 10 mph to the due north almost northwest. Outflow dominate, simply meaning this nice outflow. A shelf cloud on the outer rim of this storm as it approached. B E A U T I F U L!

Ignore all the scratches and artefacts. Qualitative this photo is rather bad but it was taken through a very scratched plastic window.
Or let's pretend this was all deliberately to add a vintage look 😛
Eqi Glacier, Greenland
The glacier front is about 3 km, and the average height from the sea bed to the top is approximately 180 meters . It is not as large as Sermeq Kujalleq in the Icefjord, but it is more accessible, and you get closer.

There is more information about the house under my photo 'Home Forest Peace'
While photographing the drama in the mountains behind, I was taken by this shaft of sunlight that illuminated the lemon tree in front of me.

The restaurant La Muralla outside of Tijarafe in the west of La Palma is located high above the Atlantic and is known not only for the good food but also for the unique sunsets. For this picture I have interrupted my meal briefly to capture the falling behind dark clouds light spots forever ;-))
Das Restaurante La Muralla außerhalb von Tijarafe im Westen von La Palma liegt hoch über dem Atlantik und ist nicht nur wegen des guten Essens sondern auch für die einmaligen Sonnenuntergänge bekannt. Für dieses Bild habe ich meine Mahlzeit kurz unterbrochen um die hinter dunklen Wolken herab fallenden Lichtspots für immer festzuhalten;-))
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

The D.H. Day Farm once was a 400 acre spread, home to 400 hogs and 200 Holstein cattle. Reportedly, there was an orchard of 4000 cherry and apple trees, and crops to feed all of the animals. These outbuildings, built in the 1880s and 1890s, dominate the landscape when viewed from the road and from my favorite perch atop the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.
Today the farm is privately-owned, but because it is situated within the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, there is a stipulation that the owner must preserve the historical appearance of the property. The farm, and the nearby historical buildings in Glen Haven, Michigan (which are owned by the National Park Service), are important icons of Michigan;s agricultural heritage.

Sony ILCE-7RM5 + Monster LA-KE1 Pentax K to Sony E Mount Adapter + Pentax DFA 28-105 ED DC WR
Note that the focal length presented in the EXIF data is not correct. I was shooting a Pentax lens on the Sony A7RV with the Monster LA-KE1 adapter. Occasionally the EXIF data do not register accurately when using the Monster adapter. The lens is the Pentax DFA 28-105. I'll guess that the focal length was near 30-50mm.
Sometimes less is more.
The light was right, the clouds were right and Caroline and I enjoyed both and time in the snow.....

From our fab family hike on Dartmoor last Sunday. It's a lovely wild rugged granite landscape up there - a mere 30 min from our doorstep (well a bit more if you include hiking up to this place from the car park). We sheltered like sheep at the granite outcrops in the background of this view as there was a particularly dark cloud passing by which offloaded a bit of drizzle.

I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.
Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.
I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.
I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.
