From Darkroom to Digital…. an open day at West Moss-Side – 14th September 2024
As I have a passion for photographing weather phenomena, I decided for the first time this year to enter The Royal Meteorological Society’s photographic competition. I knew the photographer that won it last year with a great image of a mountain top view of an inversion (Gareth Mon Jones).
I decided to enter the full 5 and I received notification recently that 2 of the images made it into the final judging of 26 images. These are the ones that have been finalised and have a chance of the top 3. There is also a public vote category where the public’s favourite can win a prize too.
Pinnacles of Light – I stopped off at Mangersta sea stacks one evening on a trip to The Isle of Lewis. It was pretty windy on the cliff tops, making long exposures quite challenging. All of a sudden, a few rain showers passed over as the late evening light broke though, providing an amazing set of rainbows!
Ridgeline Optics – After a foggy climb up onto Meall Nan Tarmachan (Hill of the ptarmigans) (1043 m), and along the Tarmachan Ridge yesterday, I was greeted, as I ate my lunch on Meall Garbh, to a break in the weather. The sun broke through and behind me a full fog bow, Brocken spectre and glory. At one point there were multiple glories too. I stayed on but alas stratus clouds came in in the afternoon carrying some drizzle.
The public vote is open till the 25th of September so if you fancy voting you can do so here:
