The Beast from the East 2 has arrived in the UK and we’ve seen many places on the West of the UK sitting under up to 1m of snow. Over here on the West Coast, we’ve only really got the cold and the wind as most of the snow has been extracted by the Cairngorm plateau. I’ve been tracking the possible cold spell on a few weather forecasting websites and social media accounts and have been surprised at the amount of information available. There are some YouTube channels that have been doing a great job of interpreting the copious amounts of forecasting information out there and it’s been fascinating to see just how accurate these long range forecasts are but more importantly it’s been fun to see how small changes in conditions can make big changes in the weather on the ground.
After Joe Cornish’s article on the weather recently I thought it would be great to expand on some of what I’ve been studying and share a few of the resources I use. Until then, have a look at some of “Gav’s Weather Vids” on YouTube (if you’re in UK/Europe) and let us know if you have any other sources you like using for longer range weather forecasts.
The good thing is that there appears to be a prolonged cold spell predicted for most of the rest of February. I hope this means some snow and frost arrives to transform your local areas. Our recent cold snap froze the edges of the sea loch leaving ice floating on the seaweed as the tide dropped. Check out the rainbow effects found when I used a polariser!

Interview with Judy Sharrock
Come lockdown, I saw that Alex Hare and Lizzy Shepherd were running some online bookmaking workshops. So, I signed up for that which was really helpful and got me going. more
Poetic Odds
Of those concerned with truthfulness in photography, I ask this: if you inspire in your viewers an experience you did not actually have, is the fact that your images are not “manipulated” sufficient to make them “true”? more
Hokkaido
Hokkaido is the most Northern island of Japan and is full of flowers in summer and a popular place for Japanese tourists, but in February it is in the grip of winter and usually with deep snow. more

Lockdown Podcast #11
After featuring two articles on tripods recently, a review of travel tripods and a short overview of tripod spikes, I thought a general chat with Joe and David about their own experiences with tripods would make interesting listening more
Marco Sipriaso – Portrait of a Photographer
What I admire about Marco’s work is that it is a fresh reminder that expectations can pigeon-hole us as artists to only look for what we had pre-envisioned, whereas an approach like Marco’s can lead to discovering a whole new world of photography that can enrich us and occupy us for a lifetime. more
Trip Report – The Hebrides
I’ve wanted to visit Skye for around 35 years having visited Mull in my 20s. I had a bucket list of places I wanted to see and photograph on Skye more
