    There's nothing quite like walking into Home Depot and grabbing one of the salespeople to help you brainstorm how to connect Item A to Item B...then follow them around as they seek the opinions of other associates and debate the various solutions. lol3.gif I sometimes feel like MacGyver with this hobby.

    Hey, rigging stuff is what it's all about, eh?

    So how are you Mega-Challenge players feeling about your theme, eh? Toughie? Exciting? Intriguing? Do you really think the only way to pull this one off is by capturing a cyclone hovering over a volcano erupting with a Tsunami looming in the distance, or could something much more subtle be equally effective and moving?

    I finally just got around to reading this thread. You all crack me up!rolleyes1.gif Alaska has lots and lots of 'elements' including an active volcano or two. I have been working all day on this theme... but mine might just suprize you all! No...there are no naked hedgehogs in it...mwink.gif


    Good luck everyone!

    I was going to joke around and say I was particularly fond of puppy and kitten shots and I'd like to see how you made that one work with the theme...but then I thought someone may actually try it. eek7.gif

    Man!!! I wish I had known...back to the drawing board! My "Raining Cats and Dogs" photo probably won't work now. Oh well...my dog and my neighbor's cat will be glad to know they won't be thrown off the roof again. They didn't like it very much (NOTE TO PITA: Just Kidding!)

    Creativity does that to you. :giggle

    It wouldn't require tossing cats and dogs into the air, as this thread demonstrates. Plenty of ways to make them look airborne without, you know, actually throwing them from the tops of buildings. mwink.gif

    This is now officially distracting me from planning my actual concept. Clever ploy, shatch! Very clever. deal.gif

    Clever! thumb.gif Really nice lighting.

    I think you should now help me convine Nik to combine the male model idea presented earlier with this new idea of raining objects. Yeah, I wanna see "It's Raining Men" now. lol3.gif C'mon, Nik!
