Weather Photographer of the Year

[Martin-O2]

Hey guys,

I wanted to share this fantastic set if images from the 2016 Weather Photographer of the Year competition run by the the Royal Meteorological Society and The Royal Photographic Society. The images are the finalists for this year’s competition.

You can see the full range of finalist images using this link. I’m a big fan of nature photography in particular, what about you guys? What sort of images do you find most pleasing to the eye?

Awesome photos @viridis! Did you start a thread somewhere on here about the drone by any chance? Would love to see more stuff about it!

I didn't I'm afraid @Marjo well not that I remember.
Problem is, the majority of careful people like me, get tarred by the brush of the utter moronic prats that do stupid things like what's just appeared on the news today. There are those who spend long times planning and tracking and using correct GPS apps to fly to the limits with safety coming first.. Then there's those that think flying alongside an aircraft is funny or cool.

Game of Drones innit!

It's only going to get more and more congested up there once these commercial drones become common place.
