Our min today was 3 C, our Max is supposed to be 21 C. Tomorrow another storm will attack us. Our winter welcome
I snapped these sunsets recently. I'm a storm chaser addict. It's growing hobby.

What's your weather like today?
The high is supposed to be 22 and the overnight low was 11. Sporadic rain showers today, so no golf today.
Great pictures caskur..
I think it's twenty degrees right now at twelve thirty pm..
We're supposed to have a couple of hot days in the high twenties this week.
It's 10 here now, 23 expected max and rain. They've pushed forward the storm to tues and wednesday. Great. I was really looking forward for something interesting to do today to get me out of chores... UGH!~
This was our storm last week that washed away the beach....
It was very hectic...

Not long... when the tied goes out and the sand dries, the wind will blow the sand back. But what I'll do periodically keep an eye out. I'm going down in a minute. The is no wind atm... I'm getting two messages about the storm... late tonight... and tomorrow depending on whether I listen to this mornings news, or check the the Bureau of Meterology on the net.

Okay, thanks for explaining that..
I live so far from the ocean that I don't get to see these things.
We're going to be whacked in 2 hours but I don't know for how long.
I think I'll stay inside. I really want to go out though. Yesterday was a public holiday in WA and if it had come yesterday, I'd have been happier with my husband being home. Today he's at work....bumma.

That's late spring weather here..
We had a lovely day with a high of twenty four and a low of eight.
We have a third front headed our way...Rain tonight and apparently thunderstorm Saturday and Sunday but they always say that and we don't get much lightning for me to photograph.
It's cold here... But then its winter and to be expected.

We have a different definition of cold than Western Australia..
Do you get lots of rain in the winter caskur?
We get more rain than London apparently but it comes down in winter and then we get 9 months of dry... whereas London's rain is spaced out through the entire year.
This morning...
This morning, was cold, and windy, dark and dingy. There better be lightning tonight or I'll be very testy.

There were roughly 5 rainbows today. They were popping up everywhere I went...
Yesterday storm chasing I managed to capture fairy terns at Cottesloe Beach Perth. Fairy terns are endangered. There are only about 5000 around.
This is my bird page...And they can be viewed her. It's 19 c, freezing and raining at times.

They are a bird of prey and look to be rather large.
I'm wondering if you're talking about the Osprey....
the terns are about the size of sea gulls.
I hope you saw the right pictures... they've mucked around with the format of those pages.. Hang on, I'll go check.

The red dots are where I photograph. This is my stomping grounds. North Fremantle and Cottesloe are the beaches I go to... My North Fremantle beach is closed due to our recent storms. I guess they're worried sand dunes may collapse on people or something. Perth is apparently the most isolated city on the planet and these days, one of the most expensive. I just wished I could turn back the clock 30 years and got more involved in stopping development. It's criminal what they're doing to my city... The greed is disgusting.

Vancouver is similar. Not a nice place anymore. Expensive, congested, with too many fucking people flooding into the area. Not sure where the fuck all these people are coming from, but many are rich Asians from Hong Kong.
Not a day goes by when I don't think about moving outta here to some small town that doesn't have all the big city problems, and just relax surrounded by peace and quiet without so many fucking people around me.

I hear you and concur... there are far too many people on the planet. It got all stupid all of a sudden.
Some guy (American) wrote on my Youtube channel he hasn't seen a seagull where he lives for two whole years and he's on a coast somewhere... He doesn't know WHY there are no seagulls... He wants to move inland somewhere. He thinks the spot where he lives is toxic.

It's been bitterly cold for us this past fortnight in Perth and I haven't really got any interesting weather news. We're supposed to be getting rain.
Here is a picture from last week. Driving along the road at Port Beach north Fremantle. It's 6.33 am right now and if I was a dedicated sunrise enthusiast, I'd go out and brave the cold. ac_blush

What do you consider bitterly cold caskur?
Anything under 8...lol...
Anything under 18.
Quote from: "Bricktop"

lol, yep pretty much.
Actually, on the way home from Pt Walter, I hit a bloody curb. I can't believe I did that.
I promised Fash a picture but today the White Faced Heron flew off and now my miserable cold day is worse.
Swan River an hour or so ago.. And yes, I realize this is a shocking picture..

I went to take weather shots, landscapes, so my setting was on 'Distant Scenery'... But I tried sneaking up on that bloody heron and it flew off. I'm shocked I didn't have to straighten the horizon.
I use my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 Digital Camera ... it's got pretty flash factory settings.
I got some exposed roots for the tree group... someone in Canada there has a fascination or concern rather, with tree root exposure from storm erosion..

The problem with these programmed settings is that the assess the subject in terms of deriving the best shot from AVERAGING the light.
This in turn leads to average shots...which are fine for snapshots, holiday images and generally well lit images. But I suggest you move on from those settings to either Aperture priority, or full manual, and try to add creativity to your image. No matter how clever the manufacturer is, none have thus far been able to include a "creative" mode.
Try metering on different parts of the scene and see what you get. For example, metering on sunlight will give you a decent picture of the sun, but the surrounding clouds will be darker and far more ominous.
To use the light properly, you must construct the image in your head first, then meter and shoot with the light available to get what you want, and then finish in post production.
You have an eye for a good image. Your camera only manages light.
There isn't anything wrong with the images from the camera UNTIL I send them to paintshop pro to downsize and write my name in the corner and then when I save it, I get serious lossy... but I save it as PS123456 a... I always have the original untouched and stored on an external hard drive.
I cannot do manual... my vision isn't great. I'm getting old.
I use light and I go AGAINST using light... I play around. I experiment.
I bought this latest camera for landscapes... the beauty of this camera is the 4K feature... it's water and dust proof (huge, huge, plus). Also, it records footage BEAUTIFULLY...
I just learned the 4K feature. Do you know about 4K? Scroll down and watch the 4K video. IT"S BRILLIANT FOR BIRD SHOTS.

My camera is a bridging camera. Due to failing vision, I most likely will never advance further than what I do with the bridging camera ...
I recorded lightning last November on it and extracted stills but I'm frustrated from lack of practice from lack of storms.
https://youtu.be/4lgWZcutfsE
Your camera is perfectly capable of aperture priority and full manual, and offers the usual three metering modes.
It is a quality piece of kit, and my ardent recommendation is that you ignore the programmed modes, manually set exposure using different metering modes, and explore its fullest potential.
I note that in reviews, some say the camera is overly complex for its target market, which is essentially point-and-shooters. In your case, it gives you the best of both worlds.
Pfft, the bloody thing takes moon crater shots....lol

Go through those Albums on caskur.
I'm trying to record as much as I can before our beautiful country is totally devastated by sickening greed and grab for the almighty dollar.
I've got people all over Australia fighting for the conservation cause....
I'll put a rocket up their arses for their money grubbing troubles.
But that is your camera taking those photos.
Not you.
True... But if it wasn't for me paying for that camera's charge, that camera couldn't do squat!~
And it wouldn't care either way.
You have the eye...your photos would improve enormously if you broke free of the shackles of automation.
Well I'll try and listen closely to your instructions because manual isn't my forte.
Not instructions.
Just advice.
If you're happy with your results, that's OK too.
Some parts of Oz right now....brrrrrr.

If you ask Siri for the temperature here, she will say "Hot" at 28. In the UK she says "Hot" at 21!!
But its touching 30 in some parts...for them its hell on earth. The problem is they do not possess cooling resources. They don't even open windows!!!

I briefly saw the guy who hosts Q & A shutdown false allegations of calling a pollie, "racist" twice... so I think people have been complaining about the ABC and they're adjusting.
But all the stations are lefturds... channel nine is the worst.
You should be more worried pollies work in warm air conned buildings while most of the ES peons are suffering under astronomical electricity bills.
Whose idea was it to privatize our phones giving arseholes overseas our telephone numbers? We had a good country and we lost control of it. I am VERY angry about that.
The political class is slowly destroying what we had at all levels.
Yep and on that sad note, I better go visit my step-father...

But North oh that (I'm heading south up there) this was our day...
PERFECTION. ...
Looked at the sign, and questioned whether daytime running lights are required on vehicles sold in Australia. It appears not! Am quite surprised, since they are required in Canada on cars built after December 1, 1989...
My car lights go on automatically.... I'm not sure if the lights on the crewman I was in were on... I was too busy taking pictures but I made my husband drive under the speed limit which was 100 kms... we were driving at 85... It was so dangerous.

We are having a WONDERFUL storm here on the 1st of August 2018 and apparently it was only 8 today... surely they're mistaken, it never get that low during the day. I've got the split system on, throwing warm air over the house.

People like talking about stuff that affects them... Weight/Health, Weather, are fairly safe subjects... Favourite TV show maybe.
I find that people would rather shoot themselves in the head than talk about politics. Personally I'd like politicians shot for being a-holes.
Weather threads are more popular on Australian boards...

I does seem lovely, at least in Western Australia.
I had a GREAT weekend... I went into the wheatbelt... Bricktop would love my pictures I'm sure.
Last night's sunset with the fake lake. It's the only way I can drown the neighbours without going to jail.

Calgary was covered in smoke from forest fires in neighbouring British Columbia yesterday. .
I have never seen anything quite like it.
On the Tree Group on fb I gave you a link to are pictures of the fires. One of my members is Canadian... A few are but he posts the most.
I think all the fires are deliberately lit. No doubt in my mind.

That would be different for us....we always have turkey.
Turkey is horrible HOWEVER, my Step-father bought a little roast turkey piece last year.. and it was yummy.
Turkey isn't really traditional here... Roast Pork with Apple sauce (or Hams) was always first choice, lamb, very popular. I don't know anyone who has beef but I am sure some do.
People went for what's in season because, 1. It's fresh and 2. cheap.

Some days highs are in the low twenties..
What a difference in temperatures in such a short time.
Yep... All I can think of is solar flares. No one ever talks about how the temps go from 42 down into the twenties like that but it's probably cloud cover... on a 42 degree day there are no clouds.
Today there is a possible thunder storm. It's 4.30 am now... I'm going off to catch a sunrise.

We have something in Southern Alberta called chinooks that can raise temperatures ten degrees or more in a few hours..
They are strong winds that melt snow quickly.

My niece got back from holidaying in South Australia... one day it was 52.5 or something.
Anyway, they drove through locusts... blocked up their radiator on their new car and had to get a new engine.

In Southern Alberta, cars get covered in grasshoppers in late summer..
I've never heard of them causing mechanical problems though.

28 today... pretty much perfect. but the temp is gong up again to 35 in a few days.
My niece got back from holidaying in South Australia... one day it was 52.5 or something.
Anyway, they drove through locusts... blocked up their radiator on their new car and had to get a new engine.
Moral to story, don't drive through a plague of locusts.

Probably the drivers were smart enough to stop while they plague on by.

Well I've never thought about that so now that I realize radiators can clog causing your motor to blow up, I'll make sure to stop.

Grasshoppers in Southern Alberta can turn the front of your car green.
Last night a bit of a thunderstorm swept through. I finally got something...

It's getting popular in Australia since we have digital cameras... flat landscapes and nice thunderstorms..
Once you capture your first picture, you get hooked.

What's the long weekend holiday?
Today is a public holiday. I don't know what its for unless I look it up. We get PLENTY of long weekends in Australia...
I've been waiting for the palm next door to flower... it's starting to open this morning. Too bad I didn't do a movie of it... Time lapse.
I'm too lazy in hot weather.
Rain coming our way... today 39, tomorrow 35....

The blurred one is good bc there were clouds over my head that didn't fit in my pcture that were the same colour....
We are known for our sunsets and about 18 months ago our news bragged about them and ever since they did that we've suffered a good 80-90 % less events to brag about. So anytime the mere hint of clouds sends us all out to see if we can get something.

Ha, thanks Velet but today we have a VASTLY different sunrise.. No sun today just wonderful, wonderful desparately welcomed drizzle. That dampebed all the dust down. I was hoping for a colourful sunrise though.

This is a subject for that group. In Western Australia, we have what they term as "Controlled burns"... these days I am against them because we have too many of them.

Hail is hell. Perth had a whooper of a hailstorm one time that made international news...otherwise where I live is the bottom of the earth...lol
Very good pictures.
thank you.
After waiting months and months, finally a week of thunderstorms with some rain.. I managed to get a bit of lightning and lots of rubbish shots.
Pretty clouds... we had a ripper storm or two or three.
Before sunrise.
Harder to get, day time lightning.

I have some beautiful pictures of an event. The event was a red sun from controlled burn offs the Pyromaniac Brigade are doing. It started off orange and then went red but the camera doesn't pick it up... the reflection on the ocean is picked up.

We've had so much rain in the Eastern states that it's almost impossible to mow the lawns. We need some a break. My vegetable garden is rotted and I even had to pull my special plants early because of mildew. The drizzle and wet is so bad that it's reminding me of Pommy Land. I can't stand relentless rain and I'm a horticulturalist. Fungus and rot everywhere. Ruined crops everywhere. Oh well...can't be worse than the flooding we recently copped.

That's the problem with semi tropical lands.......heavy rains.

Yeah...we're warm temperate bordering on sub-tropical. Very good girl...I'm impressed! Anyhoo...it's not the best of times for particular crops here in Oz; at least my state.
The mozzies are thick and the leeches have been ridiculous. I replanted ten plants last week and came out with more leeches for my effort.
I had over ten varieties of rare South American Chili that didn't make it. I managed to get seed off 5 strains at least before the doom and gloom. The ducks are having a great time currently.
Parts of the states got their entire annual rainfall in three days. It's not good weather at the moment.

I have always heard that NSW or Tasmania were the nicest parts of Australia climate and geography wise but I can understand some people prefer warmer locations.

NSW is a warm temperate climate. The winter can get chilly down to -5'C, but the summers are balmy and it averages around 30'C, the hottest spells around 40'C at most.
Tasmania can get a tad frosty!
Tasmania would have a climate similar to Southern Vancouver Island I think.

LOL just make sure you guys get a beachfront hotel, never go to the beach with valuable belongings and eat only delivery.
People are dying there because they made a wrong turn and entered a favela.
