Weather Photographer of the Year

As we’ve mentioned before, you don’t have to wait for the perfect weather or the golden hour to take amazing photos. As always, the winning photos of Weather Photographer of the Year remind us that this truly is the case. The Royal Meteorological Society has announced the 2021 contest winners, and they show all the beauty and versatility of different weather conditions we can find ourselves in.

When shooting outdoors, most of us will try to go out when the weather is fine, searching for the perfect light. But you can take stunning photos in any weather and light: from scorching midday sun to a snow blizzard. This is exactly what winners of 2020 Weather Photographer of the Year prove us. The winning and shortlisted photos will leave you in awe, and they’ll make you go out with your camera even when the weather is terrible.
