With the current deluge and warmer temperatures melting snow, I might pop down to my favourite torrent tomorrow morning, and possibly just before sunset tomorrow too, if I time it right. Could be quite impressive.

A 5 minute effort just for fun.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

That's the kind of thing I try, but the immediacy/vividness reduces the atmosphere, to my eye.

Agreed. Lean in to the gloom.

I'm rapidly going off @briantrumpet 's photo.😆

Easy enough to tone down to taste anywhere in-between the two supplied examples. Always subjective.

While waiting for the cloud inversion to lift down yer in the valley... 1/8s, with just a little tweaking to make sure the whites in the water weren't bleached.

If the inversion lifts in the next hour or two, I'll be out on the new bike, if it doesn't, I'll stay on foot and head above the clouds.

The new bike lost and the walking boots won: I think I made the right choice. Watching the mer de nuages tumble through the gap into 'my' valley was just the most extraordinary sight. Had I taken a tripod, a time-lapse video would have been spectacular.

Looks like that panned out nicely with those conditions.👍The shutter speed was right in the Goldilocks zone in the first set this morning. Not always easy to judge on the rear screen.

I try to get the water ones as dark as I can with a vaguely slow shutter speed, otherwise the white water bleaches out. The lurky cloudage definitely helped this morning. I think if I'd had a faster turnaround the mer de nuages might have been even more spectacular (or even more so if I'd been keen enough to go out before breakfast), but I was more than happy with the outcome all the same. Just a privilege to be able to walk up to something like this an hour from my front door.

It's exceptionally clear tonight if you want to photograph some stars.

I made the same comment at home after walking the dogs. If I’d still been on leave I would have taken a trip to Elan Valley for the proper dark skies.

Apols for the selfie aspect (gotta feed the mafffia beast), but as my photos today were pretty dull, my reinstalling IrfanView with all the plug-ins, especially the perspective bit, is more interesting. Like the rest of IV, it's not very sophisticated (I prefer the tools in my Android Photo Editor), but with a bit of rotation first to get the centre vertical, then dragging the photo around in the plug-in, this one worked out passably well. Certainly better than the original.
In other news, the gravel bike is lovely, but hard work on tracks that first had snow on them, then a deluge two nights ago. But it's cracking to get views I'd not get from the road - it's going to be fun exploring on dry tracks in the summer.

PS, I didn't think about getting the vertical perspective changed, as that really would have made the proportions very weird!

^There's a godlike quality with that stance and low camera angle^. Nice bike👍.
Wabi-sabi went out of the window as I had to clone out a tiny ripple in the top corner.

Seems like the mafffia like it anyway... they seem to think I'm the new mayor. I might bring in congestion charging, but for sheep and goats.

Sacre bleu, an English mayor. Sod congestion charging, take Greenland.
