Challenge #1 - Sky Water

[deliriouspixel]

Alrighty fellaz, the challenge section has remained vacant for too long now. Let's get it started.

Since most of us are somewhere where its either regularly raining or snowing at the moment,
this being Winter in the northern hemisphere, the first challenge is about rain or snow.

The object of this challenge is to creatively photograph a beautiful woman
interacting or affected by rain or snow.

You can submit up to 3 photos attached as replies to this challenge thread.

Use the attachment feature so we can identify your entries by attachment-id.

Deadline is 2/28. We will add a poll and the winner is the pic that gets the most votes.

Winner is awarded a Challenge Badge and gets to pick the next challenge.

Now get out there, but dont let your cam get wet!

2/31???

[deliriouspixel]

Yeah whadaboutit? Doncha think we need a month? and since 10 days is already wasted for this one I figured we pushit through to February.

[nukiefreak]

I think that was his way of stating that Feb. only has 28 days, so it was sposed to be 2/28, thats all.

[deliriouspixel]

Ooops. I've a funky calander. Musta been accidentally looking at March.

Thanks.

[archman]

In DP's world, February has 31 days. But March has 42 days, so February is still a shorter month.

[deliriouspixel]

I breathe drink and piss time.

Only one day exists.

The rest are just numbers.

Any number is as descriptive as the next
and those that denote The Not Yet
may never be necessary.

Any number will do
so be it forty two.

I'm assuming the photo has to be taken during the challenge period? In other words, we can't dig through our collection and post a photo that meets the criteria?

You may draw from your archive for this challenge. However I did choose rain and snow to allow those of us living in those conditions to have something current to shoot.

Hey...welcome to the party, Razzi!

Pez...nice shots. I got a few stashed away, but they're a little too blurry. Gonna keep looking to see if I got some better ones. Or maybe I'll just Photoshop some rain in :)

The Future is a Reflection of the Past.......?
or is the Past a Reflection of the Future...?

All I know is ... The only way to appreciate a reflection is to be opposed to it.

[rattlemetal]

that´s a real cool water reflection, as for reflection per se, i think one reflects the past to improve oneself

[deliriouspixel]

I think further reflection upon the challenge will resolve into a visage of someone attractive as well as female.

But that is a cool set of water mirrors there.

[Tackleberry]

She was standing there freezing her cute ass off. I HAD to shoot her...

[archman]

Dayummmm, CB...she's freakin' incredible! High heels and jeans too :)

[deliriouspixel]

Nice one CB!

[deliriouspixel]

Try using the umbrella that attaches to the hotshoe!

[rattlemetal]

well done CB

This is my first post so I'm just hoping it makes it onto the board. If you can't see the images, it's probably not you. It was raining in San Francisco around New Year's when I got these images. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I'm pretty sure that last one is wet too.

Mobius - Thanks for the entry.

You have the img tag wrong. I edited the first one for you. Edit your thread to see what
I changed to make it work.

[Mobius]

I think I have the hang of it now. Thanks for the info. I will toss out another post and see what happens!

[Rasta4Eyes]

I can't wait for a run in. If someone posts a pic of one of us shooting
without their knowledge I will freak out.

So it's the Showdown in San Francisco! Bandit vs. Mobius. That would be great! I think I will run out of pic's before Bandit. I was only there for a few days so it might be a while before I get a chance to catch Bandit at Union Square or the Embarcadaro. I'll have to check my hard drive for any suspect candidographers I might have picked up. I did see this one guy that had a great vantage point for taking candids. I couldn't even see the camera. Is this you Candid Bandit? (If so, nice disguise!)

Welcome, Thunder Pixx! That first shot is really cool. The second one--wow--almost like a free wet t-shirt contest. And the last shot--what a cutie! Nice job, man!

[jopende]

[Rob_Ant]

Here's my contribution.
Two cute girls not caring it was raining,
checking out the crowd while I was checking them out. :)
