Odd Spot

Very dark over towards the hills. Looks like missing here and probably heading sheffield way. Plenty of time yet though for some action

Morning people. Well that is what you call thundery rain yesterday. Could not report on here as I was in the pub . Just had a scan through the thread and noticed the sheffielders report of the amonts of rain. About the same around here. Started at around 5.10pm and absolutley nailed it down. Quite a bit of thunder and lightning as well. Going on reports it sounds like one of the main routes into Chesterfield was flooded again (Hornes Bridge) as of 2007. Measuring the rainfall. Don't know if you can call it a accurate reading, but there was a couple of pint pots on the bench outside the pub and they had around two inch of rain in them (landlords probably put it back into the barrel ) Get ready for the grass to grow fast in the next few days now. OS

As a sunrise/sunset fan myself. They are wonderful pictures. :lol: How do you get the sun without any glare around it?? Is it using a special type of lens?

Definatley a 'Odd Cloud' night last night with the looks of it. Byetheway, Nice shots Calum

Yeah. A definate one off event for me with the camera at the ready (charged up for once). I'm very suprised some of the fellow NW folk around the sheffield area did not see it. Great viewing. OS

Cheers Nigel. I've never noticed anything like em' before so I thought i'd get some snaps and see who knows what they are on here. Looked a nice sunset as well with these types of cloud. Pity we cannot get a clear view of the derbyshire hills from our house as it would have taken a great sunset picture.

Took these high cloud pictures around 20 minutes ago (8.30pm) from our back garden. They are all took with the 'Natural' setting bar the one which was taken with the 'Sunset' setting. I just had to adjust the brighness on the odd one. Anyway. What are they? Cheers OS

What a pleasant afternoon. 2pm onwards was glorious outside the pub. I'm not saying how many pints but my skin has a bit of red/brown about it after this afternoons session. lol What a great week to look froward to. Summerish at last B)

Had a moderate/heavy shower at 12.45pm and when the sun came back out it was like a sauna. Quite pleasant now.

Had a weekend down Dorset way staying in Weymouth for the weekend before travelling home via Bournemouth. Mainly shots of landscapes / scenery but the odd one you could call a bit weather related. Not my fault it rained on some of the shots . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.

It woke me and the missus up. I said to her what the hell was that. Was going to say I bet it was a earthquake but thought that would have been a waste of time. I first thought it was a very strong gust of wind, but with the number of alarms that got set off outside made me think otherwise. Checked the time on the clock (12.57am) so I could have a look this morning on the news or internet to see if it was a earthquake and there it was, all over the news.

All nice, but the first and last one are my faves Skeleton trees don't half bring pictures to life don't they

Cheers for the comments. If the weather is nice on sunday again as they have forecast, we may well have another trip up that way to the Derwent Dam and Suprise View.

Nowt wrong with a cheap camera Nice shots there mate. Must be nearly 30 years since I was down Brixham way when I was a lad

They were trying to say - Hurry up, the pub opens in 25 minutes I took it at 11.35 am yesterday. Anyway. Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Looks like tomorrow is likely to be the last day in a while to get these kind of pictures. Sunny and calm

Cheers John. They were taken this morning. I thought with no wind and clear sunny skies it would be a perfect chance to get some reflection shots up at Ladybower with the water still.

A lovely day deserved a trip up to Ladybower Reservoir with the old camera on a frosty morning. Here are some of the pics I took.

Yep. My neck of the woods is Chesterfield. The crooked spire. Nice pictures though

Cheers guys. And all the pictures on this thread and the others are as taken by the camera using various pre-sets on the camera. (sunset , beach, natural light etc etc) No doctoring involved

Here is a selection from the many I took whilst there. Also on a slideshow Slideshow 1 and some pictures from it below

I'll give it a go pal once the old head gets back in gear. ASAP i will have a go. Then as soon as, they will be put on here.....hopefully Cheers OS

Hi SS Been in the pub today (as it is christmas :lol: ) So not had time to mess with the videos. reason is some are over 100MB in size and all these upload sites only do up to 100 so i'm trying to find somethong that will let me reduce the file size I'll try and sort and show asap and put in the photography section. Cheers

Hi guys. Just arrived back from the Dominincan Republic this morning (friday 21st) from a 2 week holiday. We were there when Olga hit. It did not hit us direct in Punta Cana on the East Coast but wow. It proved to be quite a experience. I tried to talk to one of the dominicans who we got to know during the holiday about the storm, and his face told the story. More unfortunate deaths in a poor region with great people. I have some video / pictures which i will upload soon of the day Olga passed through. (plus many more weather related pictures from our holiday including a Waterspout, which was a incredible sight)
