We didn't encounter our first proper supercell until Day 06 of Tour 01. Talk about a quiet season. This is the early stages of a monster of a storm in north west Iowa last May. #storm_hour #storm_scape #stormchasing #photography

3/3 In the run-up to Chase Season, I thought I'd pick my 10 favourite lightning strikes from the past 10 years. Most were taken in the Alley but my fav was shot from my apt. balcony in 2017 as 4 upward leaders hit the windfarm. #ightning #stormhour #severeweather #stormchasing

I love a good anvil crawler! Caught these west of Oklahoma City after a tricky day of chasing and being bitten by mozzies. #lightning #stormphotography #stormchasing #stormclouds #skywx #stormhour @stormhour.com

Here are some more shots I took of the beech trees in my local park. I experimented with framing and extreme wide angles but the whole scene was crying out for that b&w shot. #noir #photography #trees #nature #northumberland #stormhour

#Spring is definitely in the air now and whilst I wait for the #wildflowers to bloom again, here's one of my favourite #bluebell #woodland photos that I took last year in the gorgeous Hollingside Wood. #photography #landscape #photohour #stormhour #nature

Another day, another glorious sunrise over St Mary's Island. A far-reaching, shallow bank of sea fret prevented the sun from lighting up the cloud base but it did serve to diffuse those colours! #photography #lighthouse #stormhour #sunrise #colours #northumberland

Another shot of the glorious sunrise over St Mary's Lighthouse in #Northumberland this time with super sexy reflections in the outgoing tide. Coastal #photography isn't necessarily my thing but gotta admit I'm quite taken by this location #stormhour #photohour #skywx #sunrise

Happy Monday everybody! Those of you follow me on Facebook are probably aware by now that I had to take a brief step back from #photography and posting on social media due to a death in the family. BUT I've been putting things together in the background and posting should resume again soon. ❤️

There was a lot of fog around these parts last weekend so I grabbed my camera and headed for the nearest bunch of trees #landscape #photography #mist #fog #trees #woodland #photohour

One of the best things to do after a long day of chasing storms is to sit back and watch that storm spit out loads of lightning as it disappears off into the night. This was the left split from the Lamar, CO #supercell back in May 2024 #lightning #thunderstorm #stormclouds #stormchasing #stormhour

Stu Short Photography @stushort.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Somewthing a bit different from me but something I've always wanted to capture. We tend not to get seas like this too often around these parts so was chuffed to have the chance to experiment when a bit of a swell showed up at Tynemouth Priory. #waves #seascape #photography #photohour

I've not shared any #aurora photos to Bluesky yet so here are a few from October's magnificent G4 display over #Northumberland. An isolated tithe barn provided the focus for most of the display before I shifted to a windfarm when shit got real. #northernlights #photography #stormhour

Constant sub zero temperatures for over a week meant that even a body of water the size of Kielder Resevoir began to freeze over. High pressure and no wind turned the entire surface into glass. Grabbed this shot late afternoon last weekend. #photography #landscape #reflections #stormhour #rozen

I think I've settled my own internal debate now about which is my favourite season to photograph. I shot these around my local park a couple of weeks ago following heavy overnight snowfall. #snowhour #photography #landscape #winter #snow

Summerhill Force looking all proper Narnia-like at the weekend just before the thaw set in. Love that huge accumulation of ice at the foot of the falls. #waterfallwednesday #waterfall #photography #snowhour #landscape

Freezing #fog enveloping Bowmont Forest in the Scottish Borders at the weekend. Wish it had hung around for longer so I could have grabbed more shots like this. #mist #winter #landscape #photography #woodland #trees #photohour #snowhour

Parts of Hadrian's Wall disappeared up into the cloud base at times creating some ethereal white-out conditions. Made photography a bit tricky as well as stinging little ice pellets were blown into your face from the east. #snowhour #landscape #photography #northumberland #hadrianswall

Stu Short Photography @stushort.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Probably the deepest and best snow I could find last weekend was at this stile nr Chollerford in #Northumberland. I've wanted to get this shot into the North Tyne valley for so long; I just needed the right conditions. #snowhour #photography #landscape #countryside #landscapephotography

Chuffed to have placed 3rd in this week's #stormhour competition 😄 Always great fun entering each week.

A couple of shots from one of my favourite compositions at a local beauty spot. Took these last year but I imagine the lake has frozen over again given this prolonged spell of chilly weather. #landscape #nature #photography #stormhour #snowhour

So I ended 2024 as it began - with a wander along one of my favourite spots at Hadrian's Wall during an eerie, foggy afternoon. Trying for something a bit different in my processing with this shot. #landscape #photography #stormhour #northumberland

I was hoping to revisit this location on NYD as they've been forecasting a blizzard for several days now only for all the weather models (bar GFS) to say Yeah, soz bruh! Therefore my snowy hollow scene will have to wait. #landscape #photography #trees #thephotohour #woodland

AI generated 'photography' is merely the modern equivalent of 80s felt and neon posters.

Last couple posts have been trees in the mist, now here's a tree outside of the mist overlooking the Otterburn Ranges. Love me a good #inversion but it seems like forever since I last saw one. #landscape #photography #trees #bluewx #skywx #thephotohour

Stu Short Photography @stushort.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

A lonely, wind-pruned tree overlooking Ditchling dew pond on a very grey and wet day. This tree is kind of an iconic sight along the South Downs and I think every photographer in the area has a version of this shot. #photography #landscape #trees #brighton #thephotohour

Still feeling the misty tree vibes this morning; this image was taken just a few yards from my previous shot and its amazing how just a dash of colour can completely transform the mood. #photography #landscape #thephotohour #trees #fog #mist

I can never gauge what an audience likes; my fav photos often get little engagement, those I don't rate often get loads. The rare photos I DO rate AND get most likes never fair well in competitions and those that do I think are meh #photography

Feels like a misty tree sort of morning. If only I could get these conditions in a forest instead of in a field 😁🙏 #trees #thephotohour #landscape #photography

One of my favourite #winter scenes that I've ever photographed with the trees framing the light pocket in Hamsterley Forest. The deep snow meant there was plenty of tree wells to fall into between the roots 😂 #photography #snowhour #landscape #thephotohour

Stu Short Photography @stushort.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Another shot from my #winter #woodland wander through Hamsterley Forest. Could quite happily have spent all day here creating 'proper' compositions but this was pretty much a hipfire handheld shot to just document the moment. #photography #snowhour #landscapephotography #snow

The Way Through the Woods - an unreal experience to have an entire forest all to yourself when its covered in a foot of snow. Eerily still, deathly silent and utterly enchanting. #photography #landscape #snowhour #winter #thephotohour

Lunchtime #lightning! The final storm of the day from Broken Bow on June 8th. We punched thru that core to get sunset side of this storm and watch the barmiest of insane strobe lightning shows as the sunset sank down across the cloud. #stormhour #photography #bluewx #skywx #storm #weather

Secret Level felt like a missed opportunity. Nice idea but in the end was just an extension of Love, Death & Robots so what was the point? Or WAS that the point? Either way, felt overly contrived, hubristic and not as good as LD&R. #animation #prime #secretlevel
