Ever happened to find an so unbelievable sky to be undecided to show a photo of it? Believe it or not this is the sky I've seen after a rainstorm in Leh, Ladakh. A timid rainbow was fading meanwhile the sun was setting and the colors were becoming absolutely fantastic. Meanwhile the clouds were painted in the sky as in a picture of a mad painter. Even now, I don't know if i've taken the right decision...

And we are finally getting some rain in Northern California!

This guy's feathers looked like they were on fire as he came to the feeding station to fill up on grape jelly following a dousing rainstorm.
Stanley lies in the Roaring Forties, and so weather like this is not unusual when the storms blow in off the Southern Ocean. Here we see the volcanic plug called "The Nut" rising its full 152 metres above the small fishing village. But clearly, as you can see from this photograph, the rain is falling and the wind is howling.
Mono Lake Rainstorm - Rain teems down form the heavens over the mountains alongside Mono Lake, Mammouth Lakes, CA, USA - Copyright 2015 Martyn Phillips, M4Photo.
As the storm closed in on Mono Lake and the sky turned dark and ominous, we sat in the car and fully expected to call this one off. However, the clouds slowed and gathered over the mountains to the left of the lake and we grabbed the camera gear and headed down to the lake side. Shortly after, we were presented with the most amazing display of nature’s force.
As the clouds ran the length of the mountains they let go their cargo and literally threw the rain down over the mountain side. With the wind howling over the top and down the mountains, the rain could be seen coming down like a large sheet being thrown across the mountains side.

We had high winds and heavy rain for about 1/2 hour and then it quite suddenly stopped and the skies cleared ... so we went out to see the sunset on the boat.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, at 8000 ft., provides one with an expansive view of the canyon, sky and the weather that passes through. Watching these storms was musical. As they say, "all politics is local", so too with rain!
A rainstorm is moving in... - with a tiny glimpse of the sunset just visible in the lower left corner of the tower.
This is the shipping radar tower for the Elbe river mouth, btw.

A view of a subsiding rainstorm over a mountain at Utah Lake. This picture was shot from a remote wilderness mountain ridge (elevation 7,318). The trail leading up to this spot was among one of the most challenging that I have driven (although another trail in Idaho is the reining champion). I was told that quads had problems at times on this particular mountain trail... and I think that side-by-side and quad drivers were surprised to see my truck up there.

An early June shower moves over the North Fork of the Shoshone Canyon near the Wapiti Ranger Station in Shoshone National Forest. Geologically, the canyon cuts through a series of stacked lava flows, flow breccias and volcanic debris flows that are part of the Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup. This group of igneous rocks are the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago. These volcanics make up much of the Absaroka Mountain Range in northwest Wyoming and southcentral Montana.
Markyate is a street village set along the bed of the River Ver and is surrounded by the hills of the Chilterns (Hertfordshire). Since water has the habit of following gravity, rainwater would accumulate at the lowest possible point, which is where the life of the village and that of the river intersect. The river bed is tiny and, inside the village, culverted too, which means that surface water would need a long time to run off. A rainstorm such as that hitting us last night will inevitably cause damage for those residents whose houses have been built in the flood plane. I have spoken to some of these residents and found to my astonishment that they were not aware of this fact. Had nobody told them? Fuji X100F.
I love when you can see it raining in one specific spot but not all around.
Its also interesting how the rain seems to start so low to the ground. Is it always like that, and we just can't tell when we're under it?
When I was little I always imagined, without thinking about it much, that when it rains its raining everywhere for miles around and its falling from way high up. Now that I've started paying attention to the weather and photographing it, I see that quite often its raining in only one little spot at a time and the rain starts pretty low to the ground. But maybe its just that I can only see it clearly when its like that, and other times it does rain from higher up and over larger areas, and then I can't get the perspective to see it from outside?
Observed from the hotel room balcony at sunrise in Calpe, Spain. One of only 2 rain clouds I saw during a whole of 3 weeks in Europe.....in November!!! OK I exaggerate a bit, but not much. I'm afraid I will pay DEARLY for this good fortune the next time.
Another shot from The Lake District that I seemed to have overlooked was this one from the Langdale Valley. This was taken shortly before we got caught up in a huge rainstorm and at the time I think I was more excited about posting the shot with the rain rather than this one.
There was some lovely daytime light and the moody clouds looked fantastic, and If you look closely, you can see the rain incoming in the valley between the fells, we got a little bit wet soon after!!
The Delicate Arch taken in the afternoon sun as the clouds gathered, which then turned into rain and snow shortly thereafter.

This one's for Russ Barnes (www.russbarnes.co.uk)
I was lucky enough to be shooting with him a couple of weekends ago (on an excellent Greg Whitton workshop). We were climbing Moelwyn Mawr in Snowdonia, Wales, watching some incredible weather moving across the landscape. I'd started packing up my gear up at this point, eager to climb further but Russ (the wily fox) had seen this cloud developing and waited... and waited.. and waited just a bit more, until we got this shot. Respect, Russ - great lesson!

Captured this with three RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity to boost color and contrast some more.
