THE MISSFITS replied to Nick F's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Morning everyone! We don't post very often (I aim to change that this year) but the Hastings webcam may be about to give us a show. Nothing here in Marlow at the moment but we should have some reports tomorrow and / or Monday. https://www.beaming.co.uk/company/hastings-pier-webcam/ -

Hi all, I live in Marlow and thought I would share this short video with you, sped up it shows convergence over Marlow, Buckinghamshire. However I am most disappointed that only a few very distant rumbles of thunder had our names on them this year... Comments are most welcome! -

THE MISSFITS replied to A.J's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
While I am here thought I might see what folks think about this. It was a thundery cell (not really a storm!) over Marlow about two weeks ago. I had decided to record it as it passed over and recorded the audio as it did so then edited them together. First is the short version: Long version: I welcome thoughts on if this was indeed a funnel or an optical illusion with the inflow. -

Well we just had some really nice close strikes in Marlow, Bucks, the closest I have witnessed in a very long time. Once hail and rain finished ( again not seen hail like this in years) I went outside with a camera and what did I spot... Yep a nice long funnel looking north from Marlow. Also got a nice recording of part of the cell as I had rigged the shed with microphones and a recorder!- 1,032 replies

It was a bit of a surprise to read as i wasn't looking at the radar lol. Have found a couple of local webcams and the sky is very dark in the distance in Henley http://www.wycombeairpark.co.uk/weather/webcam-videos.aspx http://www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/live-webcams/south/Thames/Henley-on-Thames/

Hi all, Just to say that we are in Arques, near St Omer in Pas De Calais, we were supposed to have a massive storm from 5pm to 9pm local time, not much in the way of lightning and close thunder. However lots of regular distant rumbles. Already clearer, but maybe more is coming rom what I have seen on my iPad app. Need to edit video on my return and will post it. Seems we got 2.5 inches of rain in about 30 mins going by a pothole in the car park! Hope we get some more of this as it was amazing but brief! Simon and Sarah.

London & South East Cold Spell Discussion
THE MISSFITS replied to kold weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Looked out of the window twenty minutes ago - heavy rain. Just looked out again - heavy snow! Huge flakes, but only thinking about settling on the fence. -
I can't believe that shot won a major landscape compo, it is truly hideous. Landscape photography is about the wonders of nature (unless it is urban) the secret to HDR is creating an image that is not so obvious... Far too much tweaking here... I have been talking about it day to other photogs.. A little goes along way...

Enhancing Photo's
THE MISSFITS replied to Mad Murdoch's topic in Photography Equipment / Hints and tips
I personally do not retouch photos, except every now and then with contrast sharpness etc... But it is the exception not the rule. I shoot mostly landscape and wildlife and always try to get the exposure right in the camera, as I work on a computer too much during the day already.. -
Mid-Range Tele Zoom For Nikon
THE MISSFITS replied to Just Before Dawn's topic in Photography Equipment / Hints and tips
Depends on what you are shooting. If you are doing landscapes then a bit more money would get you the Sigma 10-20mm.. But of of the ones you have listed, I would go for the 18-105mm (Make sure it has the ED glass) as the images will be shaper. The VR will help you keep your images nice and sharp in lower light.. There are a few places the do secondhand stuff like Grays of Westminster. If you can scrape a bit more cash together take a look the 18-200mm Vr lens which would be much better coverage. A new version is on the way and this will be better, though at the moment it is almost twice your budget... -
They look like water droplets on a CDR to me.... Great idea too. Awesome shots..

Very nice shot... If you click on the small image that you can see, it becomes large ;< )
