hmmm…need to draw a mental line for myself… Due to weeks of constant rain and associated meteorological crappiness I have 3 shots set up and ready to take that I would submit just for shits and giggles, seeing as they would undoubtedly crater in the voting.
Is the association with weather as opposed to the phenomena themselves acceptable? ie.: see pic and immediately know it says “rain” without any water being involved?
January 25, 2011 at 7:39 pm #37080ElsinoreKeymasterUpdated the theme description with the clarifying statements.
January 25, 2011 at 7:41 pm #37081UranusParticipantawwww, crap! off to the archives!
Thanks for the help, Elsinore !
January 25, 2011 at 8:38 pm #37082ElsinoreKeymasterKestrana might actually answer your specific question more thoroughly–your photo may qualify. But the difficulty still requires a different type of weather for each photo.
January 25, 2011 at 9:14 pm #37083KestranaParticipantCan you give a more specific example? I don’t want to outright say no, but I’m not exactly thinking of anything that would fit the theme and your description.
January 25, 2011 at 9:30 pm #37084UranusParticipantYou know I like all things spicy, so I have a jar of tiny peri-peri’s. I put one next to a ruler, added magnifying glass, and it was “A little chilly”…and then it descends to lunacy for the next couple. 😳
I actually dumped the ideas because the theme description is actually admirably clear, and I decided it wouldn’t really be in the spirit of the contest. It was all a bit too otherwise ( do Americans actually use that phrase?), much like me 🙄
January 25, 2011 at 10:52 pm #37085KestranaParticipantAh, very clever but not really where this contest was going. I’m sure you can come up with a use for it in another contest though!

*prays for sudden, late season blizzard so he can snort some snow*
anyway, orionid, you’re partly to blame for this flurry of ideas after the wind remark. Yes, i had a few peeps and an elevator ready to go….
January 26, 2011 at 1:48 am #37088linguineParticipantOf course the one time Maryland’s weather isn’t constantly changing is leading up to this contest and I’ve been stuck with boring overcast days.
January 26, 2011 at 1:53 am #37089CauseISaidSoParticipantYeah, I’m going to have to fall back on the archives for this one as well. All of the interesting stuff will be coming up in a few months. Right now it’s nothing but gray.

Same goes for me, pretty much. On top of that, I haven’t had time to get out and shoot recently.
Still, I have a couple of decent ones in the archives that might do okay. Problem is, they both show the same type of weather.January 26, 2011 at 4:03 pm #37091millera9ParticipantPaging chakalakasp. chakalakasp, you are needed in the farktography thread.
If you’re not sure what or who I’m talking about, go type that name into the FSM.

Good call
I forgot about his epic storm-cell shots.January 26, 2011 at 4:17 pm #37093U-ManParticipantThat dude rocks. Lots of HDR stuff. Did he outgrow us?
(btw – that’s a non-judgmental question. I’m sure there is ‘beyond farktography’. 🙂 )
