Hey everyone! Well I really had not thought about this a whole lot because I was not expecting to win. I have decided on Stormy Weather because I absolutely love pics of storms. They can be anything stormy weather related such as storm clouds, lightening, hail , etc. The challenge starts today, 4-11-11, and will run through Monday the 25th at 7:00 pm central time. Here are a few from me to give you some ideas:
Good Luck everyone!
OUR UN-OFFICIAL GENERAL RULES
1. Have fun sharing and seeing what others share!
2. The host supplies a topic and you post 1-3 images. The host judges the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and is not eligible to enter.
The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and then passes on the baton to the new champion.
3. Any photo you’ve taken is eligible, regardless of when taken or camera used.
4. Any amount of post-processing is allowed. However, it is helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
You may comment on other contestant's images. If you want someone to leave you some critique or criticism, just ask within your post.
5. The winner has up to three days (72 hours) to begin a new mini-challenge, or the honor goes to the #2 finisher and so forth.
Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, don't let this just be an entry thread!
6. When quoting a post change the IMG urls to a 200x200 size picture so it is clear your post is feedback and not another entry. (see here for help)
7. Don't be hesitant, share'em and enter!
Mini-Challenge pointers:
1. Upon winning a mini-challenge round your first step is coming up with a new theme, and start a new thread using the same format as others have used.
2. Make sure to notify the admin of this thread to update the main thread links with your entry thread.
3. Feel free to watch the thread as it grows or wait to the end time and look at all the entries all at once.
4. After the time/date has passed, then officially close the thread with a single post notifying everyone of the fact.
5. After you're finished judging start a new thread (again use the prior formats) and post your Winner and runners-up, it is important to have runners up incase the winner does not show within the 72hr window.
6. PM the winner with this info above and let them know they have 72hrs.
7. After the 72hrs and the winner does not show up, notify the next runner-up and post a message on the Winner thread of the fact.
8. Remember, if you're the Winner, you run the show.
Good Luck everyone!

1. Blizzard Drive - Somehow, I think the drive home would have looked better if I'd done it *before* the blizzard started...
2.Snow blows - it was a lot easier to think the blizzard was pretty when I wasn't driving through it
3. City storm -
Actually...well done, everyone so far!
I have a few shots to share--not very dramatic, I'm afraid! (I've posted these before on other threads, so apologies to those who have seen them!)

JAG, I really like your Raining on a Tin Roof. Don't quite know why, but it grabs me.
Kdotaylor, that cemetery one is very creepy in a cool way. Love it!
I'm really digging this thread! Great idea clickin girl! Everyone is posting some nice stuff. Thank you all for sharing!

Well worthy of it! Sorry about attaching all your photos to my response; I am new to Dgrin and didn't realize it would do that. Love the photos though!
I actually like your second and third shots. On the second one, you captured the snow falling really well; that's something I've always had a hard time with. And I love the color on the third shot. So don't sell yourself short.
