A recent trip to Stonehenge to try and get a Milky Way shot didn't quite work out as planned. All the weather apps predicted clear skies, what we got was 100% cloud cover. So, trying to make the best of it, I waited for the security guards to play their flashlights over the Henge
Finally, snow is here. It has been snowing on and off for two days, and the weather forecast predicts a difficult third day. We are preparing for a hit today. The snowstorm will start tonight.
It's mine and I really like it except for days like today when snow is predicted. I may break down and ask to leave work early because the timing of the snow is going to be awkward for my commute. I hate to do that because I don't want Southern California to get a bad reputation for being wimpy... but then again, at least one Southern Californian I know HAS become wimpy!
Having experienced a high the previous night from extensive auroras we hoped for a repeat night. NOAA forecasted a dip in aurora activity during the day but predicted increased activity by nightfall. As the day rolled by so did the clouds in the south of Iceland by Jökulsárlón. Hoping to find some clear skies Aaron, Alan, Rebecca, and I headed east after sunset towards Vestrahorn, where clouds were forecasted to subside by the morning hours. On our way we ended up stopping at Höfn for a langoustine dinner. The grilled langoustine was delicious: tender, buttery, and sweet. It set the stage for a wondrous night.
Once we arrived at Vestrahorn the near full moon aided us in scouting out the location. While scouting we noticed some faint aurora low in the sky. Though weak it was still a pleasure to see and photograph but soon the incoming clouds spoiled the show. Hence we called it a night in our Happy Campers and waited it out for the morning hours.
Snoozing away, Aaron suddenly opened our van door and yelled for us to get up at 5am. The majority of the clouds had cleared and the aurora activity picked up to a KP4. From then on time flew by as we blasted away until after sunrise.

It seems impossible to explain with words, so pictures help try to express how it feels to live this experience.
[image created on 4-24-2024]
I have become very fascinated by digital pinhole photography. This image was created with a modified pinhole body cap. I think I’m drawn to this type of photography because I feel it relates to my life and it seems to teach me far beyond photography. There are strict limitations that can drastically alter how images are captured and the final outcome of the photos, there is a lack of clarity compared to how I normally capture images with a lens, it’s difficult to predict exactly how the image will look and beauty and meaning can be found in the process and the final photo. It gives me a chance to practice embracing the unfamiliar, change, finding beauty in imperfection and growing in new ways. And the look of the images reminds me of how it feels when the effects of trauma cause me to question reality and myself, feel terror, feel isolated, alone, deep sadness, dissociation, body memories and a range of other indescribably challenging experiences. When my voice is stolen and I cannot speak or find adequate words to describe what I face I am thankful I can relate my experiences to what I see in pinhole photography rather than “keeping it all inside.”

As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.
In early July this year, my wife and I had a five-night stay at Tuross Head, on the south coast of my state of New South Wales, Australia. After dinner on the final night, with my weather app predicting a cloudless night, I drove to the edge of Tuross Lake, ensured I was warm and slept in my car for a few hours. My phone’s alarm did its job and woke me a little before moonset at 12:45 am when I prepped my camera gear to shoot the Milky Way as it slid down the southwestern sky.
With plans to shoot at a couple of locations, I didn’t bother to get out my special mount to capture a panorama. Instead, using the tried-and-true method of estimating how much overlap I had between the frames I’d later use to stitch this final composition, I snapped away and got the shots I needed. There was auroral activity on this night, and you can make out the faintest of red glows on the left, where the Milky Way’s arch touches the shoreline trees.
My panorama was created from eight single-frame photos using my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera and a Samyang 14mm f/2.4 lens @ f/2.8, with an exposure time of 25 seconds per shot @ ISO 6400. The panorama was stitched in Adobe Lightroom Classic.
Rain is predicted today here in the Chattanooga area (where I'm visiting my dad) for the first time in over a month, so that seems like a good time to post a bright sunny spider. This girl was lucky I spotted her web stretched across 11 feet of space between my dad's yard and the neighbor's! But then, she had a hand in making it obvious with her decorative tufts, a few of which you can see here. I'm posting a couple web shots, too, to show her extensive construction.

Coniston Water
Lake District,
A very late message Friday afternoon from MuddyBoots… do I want to join a group outing to the Lakes as weather conditions were looking ‘quite interesting’? I was only going to spend the day soldering dropper wires onto my fiddle yard so it was a no-brainer really.
The 5:30am pickup time did question my judgment but as they say… nothing ventured, nothing gained.
First location… somewhere on the west side of Coniston Water, near Wild Cat Island. The predicted mist clearly didn’t read the weather forecast and failed to turn up as requested. Nevertheless, shoot what’s in front of you. I think that is ‘The Old Man of Coniston’ in the distance – feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
A great day out and plenty more to process and upload.
The predicted amounts of snow no longer reached the Amper valley. There was certainly more further south towards the Alps. Now it's all snow again from yesterday and it's getting milder again.

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.
From Flagstaff Mountain, dawn on Winter Solstice (12/21/2022) looked like this. The tips of the Flatirons are on the right, and the view is down Gregory Canyon to Boulder and the Great Plains beyond.
I was prepared to post this on the solstice, but a bomb cyclone formed and swept over Colorado, taking out the local internet service, which I need to access Flickr.
In Boulder, as the front passed through, the temperature went from 47F to -9F (56 degrees) in 15 hours.
At 1:15 PM, as I write this, the temperature is -3F, so it is possible that today's highest temperature will be below zero. Tonight is predicted to be colder than last night. OK--I will stop whining now.
Our big magnolia came in at a bad time this year, with a hard freeze predicted for the next day. Fortunately, Mickie cut a few branches off and put them in a vase in the dining room, so I moved them to the studio - just the other end of the dining room these days! - and photographed them. I like the different stages of blossoming represented here. Tiring a bit of plain black backgrounds, I thought this blue-green complimented the blossoms nicely. Hoping you agree.
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.

The colours here in southern Ontario/Cornwall due to the forest fires made the sun filtered yellow and red especially during sunset. Here sun dropping down below the trees as Yellow Sun, Blue Clouds.
Glad now the wildfires significantly reduced in our province Ontario.
Enjoy, and have a great week that is predicted to rain every day starting tomorrow in our region !!!
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.

Started off my Christmas holiday with the best intentions of getting out with the camera but I'm feeling a bit apathetic at the moment plus the weather has been a bit difficult to predict so I am uploading this one that was taken back in October down at Crimdon.

Spring Sunrise at Portola Valley
The sunrise burn was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.
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.

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.

A -2 degree start to this morning so was so pleased to capture the frost today. Have been busy at work the last few frosty mornings and the forecast mid week didn't predict any so was pleasantly surprised when I glanced at my phone yesterday and saw the forecast.
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.
19th February 2017:
As predicted the weather has turned, it started off nice enough earlier this morning and then clouded over. It also feels damp out and the light's gone completely, very grey.
So I had to find an inside photo, but Graham gave me the idea yesterday when he said he hadn't noticed the little plastic flower on my cardigan before. Just about managed to get a photo before Izzy tried to bomb another photo!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
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.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVS........ TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR MORE OF THE SAME.
The common darter is one of the most common dragonflies found throughout Europe where it is seen in abundance. It is also found in neighbouring Asia. Adults can be seen on the wing all year round in southern Europe but in northern regions they occur from June to November. It occurs in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes.
They are ambush predators, waiting on a prominent perch - such as a leaf or the top of a gate, until prey fly past, whereupon they will fly after it. They are territorial on breeding waters, often attempting to chase much bigger dragonflies away such as southern hawkers. This habit of repeatedly returning to a sunny spot allows you to easily predict where they are going to land, which is why it is one of the easiest dragonflies to photograph.
In suitable hunting areas away from water, however, they are not territorial: large numbers may assemble - groups of several hundred in a single field have been recorded.
Eggs are not laid, but broadcast from the air: the male holds the female in tandem and swings her down and forward over water. At the furthest point of the arc the female releases some of her eggs to fall on the water.
(See Wikapedia)
Precision & Planning - A couple good friends and myself spotted this female Peregrine Falcon of a pair while hiking the Northern California Coast. Compared to the male, she has more distinctive rufous coloration and is significantly larger (as is this case in this species and many other falcons/raptors). After we determined that we weren't able to get portraits where she was sitting, we carefully curved around and waited at her predicted flight path - with the goal of capturing her flying towards us. She took off like a rocket towards us through the dunes and I was very happy to capture this shot which conveys a sense of habitat as well as speed. It certainly takes a lot of precision and planning to photograph such a precise and speedy bird in flight!
Species: Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + RF 100-500mm IS
Settings: 1/3200s, ISO: 2000, f/7.1 @500mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
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.
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.
"I hear Ahreum Song hasn't been seen around school because she's been doing broom commercials in Japan."
When fate deals you The World, it’s not a suggestion; it’s a portkey call to England.
Seven years since she’d last walked the streets of Liverpool… perhaps it was time to see if it still felt like home.

I drove by these wonderfully stacked bales on a bright, sunshiny day and thought, that despite the clear skies predicted for the next day, they might be nice to photograph just before dawn. So that's where I was the next morning before the sun rose, exploring and photographing. At some point a dog came tearing out of the farmer's house up the road, barking madly at me. He was followed by the famer, tearing out of his driveway in a truck. They both arrived at about the same time, looking very out of sorts. "I'm so sorry," I said, "I'm just photographing them; they're piled up so beautifully." I'm sure he must have thought I was mad, but after he realized I was harmless, he very kindly (and maybe a bit proudly) said, "I'm planning to the finish the rest of them today, if you want to come back," but I was unfortunately heading to Regina to fly home that day.

If you'd like, take a look at my other Prairies images. As well, if you're feeling particularly interested, you can read an essay I wrote for Nathan Wirth's Slices of Silence blog on my feelings of connection to the places I shoot, especially the Prairies.
. . . 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.

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.
