There are huge storms in #Iceland tonight - just seen gusts recorded of 58.3m/s (130mph) in the north and south-east 😬Hopefully everyone is safely inside... And here are some waves breaking on a windy day back in March 2022 - slowed down to 1/5th second. - ThreadSky

Just recorded 62.3m/s near Hvalnes - yikes!

Current situation at Vedur website

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

You pretty dire!

andybeavisphoto.bsky.social•26 days ago

Wow, that's breezy

juliamhammond.bsky.social•26 days ago

Just sworn out loud - having converted it to mph!

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

I know, right! Very windy. Have seen some at 72m/s a few years back (not personally - on the website!).

Insane! Did you see the pic of lightning hitting Hallgrimskirkja?

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

I did - there’s a video. Hopefully not damaged…

Thank you Dave :)

That is crazy. Lovely picture btw!

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

It is a wild time there at the moment. I hope it calms down a bit for my trip next week! And thank you :)

viewpointsphoto.bsky.social•26 days ago

Hope it clears up. Looking forward to lots more pictures of Iceland!

Thank you! I'm safely inside in London where the weather is fair! Hoping this weather calms down a bit before I head to Iceland next week...

extradivergent1.bsky.social•26 days ago

oh ok then
well would you post some pics of London?
you know i love your city
i would like so much to be there right now......
maybe to go in an old pub....
good evening Sophie

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

I don't take my camera out much in London - mostly to Richmond Park (see my photos posted over the weekend). I take some iphone shots, but just not as inspired as I used to be by cityscapes or people!

extradivergent1.bsky.social•26 days ago

no cityskape? what a pity
i used to go in a college near Sloan square....

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

I have a full time job at the moment (I don't always!) so not much spare time - not much photography happens these days except for the odd trip abroad and the odd trip to Richmond Park!

aitchemcee283.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yes, I saw on this earlier, looks a bit wild!

Really neat shutter choice, great shot! 😍

devwild.bsky.social•26 days ago

I've never felt like I'm very good at shooting waves, this is an interesting effect at this shutter speed/environment.

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you! I guess I tried it quite a few years ago, and do it a lot now. Mostly handheld, which allows for some interesting and pleasing effects :)

ellafraenka.bsky.social•26 days ago

Just got an email that classes at University will be canceled until 1300 tomorrow due to the weather. It's one thing to cancel classes for the elementary school kids, but when it's the same for us grown ups it's bad!

sophiecarr.bsky.social•26 days ago

Safer if no-one goes out on the roads eh! Stay safe!
