Hi All, I'm Anna, a new user here. This might be an unusual post, but I'm not a weather expert and I need some advice. I'm a filmmaker shooting a fictional short film in the Bromley (London)/Kent area on the last weekend of April. Seeing the sunset sky, hopefully with vibrant colours, is important to the story. We're currently scouting locations and I'm wondering if anyone can advise on what to consider when picking the right place to shoot. Is it as simple as finding somewhere with a view to the west? Also, is the best time to get the most interesting sky colours after the sun has gone below the horizon? How long does this window typically last at the end of April? I'd be immensely grateful for any tips, suggestions, or knowledge you can share. Thank you in advance!

Was browsing through the modis (terra) near real-time subsets when I spotted something a little out of place on the thumbnail images between Australia and Antarctica. I then had to have a gander at at a larger pic to see what it was, then look at the aqua version, taken a little later to see if it was still there. I thought the contrast between the clear skies and the ring of cloud surrounding it was quite spectacular! A quick check for other satellite imagery on the BOM site, gave a IR image of the same area, showing the same circle, though not as clearly defined. And the explanation for it was a simple high pressure system! I realise it's not anywhere near as spectacular as some other shots (especially some of the storm chase pics!) but I find it impressive that a simple high pressure system can produce something that looks so impressive and slightly ominous too, like something punched a huge hole through the clouds!

Iv’e recently taken an interest in startrails. I’ve finally located polaris (The North Star) to get the circular effect. I was messing about with the camera settings and a fairly gusty wind was blowing hence the less than perfect alignment. The first problem i have is that polaris is very high in the sky at the moment and I can’t encorporate any foreground which is a shame. Doe’s anyone know when polaris is at it’s lowest point? I’m in the UK. My second problem! Admitting defeat I instead decided to get star trails without polaris but with foreground. I didn’t have much time to play with at this point so this shot is made up of 58 30 second exposures giving a total 29 mins. There was no moon last night so no light source. I started the shots at f3.5 and then incresed to f5.0 all taken at ISO 400. I then used flash for the last 6 exposures to light up the foreground. My biggest problem here is noise. The photograph is way to pixelated and grainy and I’m really not sure how to overcome this. The cameras built in noise reduction facility wont let me continue while it’s working so I miss 30 seconds between each exposure which results in dots rather than lines. I’m using canon 400D 18-55 lens @18mm and startrails.de software for stacking with 2 darkframes. Has anyone else tried this kind of photography before? I would love to see some shots and any advice on how to improve.
