windforce 8
« on: January 30, 2008, 01:55:23 PM »
Hi all,

There will be windforce 8 on the Dutch westcoast tomorrow jan 31.
I took a day off and will spent the day on the Maasvlakte.
Hope it will be also bright enough to make some nice photos.
Hopefully I can show some nice results tomorrow night.

have fun
Fred

Ah, cool! Also reported full storm up here in norway. Out shooting if it will be the case. Good chase, Fred.

Hi Tomas and Fred

High winds on this side of the North Sea but far too wet for photography - winds are predicted to change to Northerly and bring the cold air and snopw from the Arctic. Sounds like a que to stay indoors with the fire on  :-o

Hi all
Looks like a real storm for the whole of the North Sea.
For the Faroes the prediction is windforce 12, but it will be around midnight. To dark for anything.
Hopefully we will see some ships seeking shelter like last week when we had hurricane force.

Just back from my trip. Having diner behind the pc enhancing my photo's. Nothing really spectacular do, it takes some hours before the waves built up. I'll upload some later tonight.

The results where quiet dissapointing. Visibility was rather poor. Wish I had gone today: still a lot of wind lots of sun and a bright clear view of 10 km and more.
Well maybe tomorrow more luck.
Have fun
Fred
