I can't see why it wouldn't happen with any mountain of extreme prominence. Like Japan's Fuji San. Probably any volcanic spire would do it. It would probably have to be, at the very least, touching the clouds and it would probably only last 5 minutes tops.

It would probably have to be, at the very least, touching the clouds and it would probably only last 5 minutes tops. Air currents are important too. Winds are constantly pushing clouds into Seattle from the west, where the air masses bunch up against the Cascade mountain range. That's what makes the line between cloudy and clear skies, allowing the sun to peak through from the east. I don't think Japan has the geography to pull it off.. the mountains along the west coast of the US are unique in that they are pretty close to the shore, run roughly north-south, and are thousands of miles long. Having the Pacific ocean nearby to whip up some moisture-thick air helps too.

I'll give to you that there are a few variables. The mountain of around 4000m prominence, a firm sky of cloud except on the low eastern or western horizons, There's no real mountains in Australia, but we get skies like that all the time: a sky of clouds lit up from east to west, both dawn and dusk. If there was something in the way of the sun, ie, a conical volcano that reached the clouds, it would totally cast a shadow. On the other hand, maybe you and I live in geographical locations where clouds do that, and if I went somewhere else, maybe they don't. I've been to places where I haven't seen a cloud for over a month and the sun for over a week, and I can find no other photos of it happening elsewhere, just photos of people ON mountains shooting the shadows the mountain makes on top of the clouds. So maybe I'm being clueless. These are pretty: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz510.htm

I took this from the top of Mt. Adams, which isn't far from Rainier. Nowhere near the quality or cool-factor of the other shots, but just showing that it happens.  P7170030 by skypny, on Flickr edit: granted, this is a shadow being thrown on the ground, and not against the clouds, so i guess it's not the exact same phenomenon. onezero fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Oct 31, 2011 |

guidoanselmi posted:why is that horse giving birth to a man? That's a really cool looking picture and obviously the photographer has a huge amount of technical skill, but it just seems so overcooked. Why is a guy cleaning horseshoes obscured by smoke? It looks sort of forced.

He's not cleaning them, he's putting them on. A lot of the time horseshoes are applied hot from the forge for a better fit--hence the smoke.

ok, looking at it again it makes more sense. I don't know what onezero posted:It happens pretty often with the big prominence mountains in the Cascades. Here's one of denali: http://www.flickr.com/photos/v-system/5191330038/ If we're talking prominence that'd be the place - but I don't know how clouds are up in alaska - I imagine it as pretty clear given the cold air and latitude/circulation.

It alternates pretty steadily between clear and overcast. Spring and summer tends to be clear skies, clouding up a lot for August through October. Winter skies depend on what kind of air masses blow through, sometimes it'll be so cold your nose hairs freeze and not a cloud in the sky, rest of the time it'll be grey out, burying you in snow.

I would guess he had the camera set to bulb and he closed the shutter when he caught a few bolts. If you look at the larger version, you can see star trails so he had the shutter open for at least 30 seconds: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/your-shot/weekly-wrapper/2011/img/1011wallpaper-week-3-1_1600.jpg

I am jealous you got a chance to meet her, and I never thought I would go to a workshop, but just her attitude makes me think I would visit one of hers, if I ever had a chance. If I only looked at her photos, I might think differently, but just the description she gives of her photos really makes me think she is throwing herself into everything she does.

Wow, that is some truly incredible work, This video shows her process on a shoot, she really does come across completely different than her photography would suggest. Her ability to visualize what she wants the final product to be is impressive to say the least, I'd love to attend one of her workshops.

She seems like an awesome person to work with, and so down to earth. I love how she can take a relatively simple setup and make something so unique and awesome out of it. That video was a great inspiration. I can't believe how young she is too...makes me want to work a lot harder!

Michael Wolf seems to use Google Street View during his free time, as he has almost 5 projects dedicated to it. It's an interesting concept though. It's a slight twist to street photography, only a picture has been taken of a whole city and it's up to you to find the interesting events.
