    I'm glad you gave such advance notice - I just NOW read this thread! I'll be at a "meet-up" with photographers from another forum that weekend, so I'll definitely be shooting! Neat idea!
    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    This was a perfect excuse to go to Portland for the weekend. :D Plans already made to visit friends and go to the Portland Zoo.

    I'm in
    Count me in.thumb.gif Our annual car show is that weekend and I'm shooting the vehicles as they come in to register. (Little did I realize when I took on this job how swamped I'd be with Senior Pictures and babies.eek7.gif )

    Don't think I'll get anywhere near a record shooting that day. 1700 seems to be my record/usual for weddings or other day long events with action.....not seeing that many shots of bumpers and tires coming.

    Can't wait to see everyone's day in pictures!

    Uhg!
    Everyone help me out here and think SUNSHINE.
    Weatherman says thunderstorms for Saturday.
    I say SUNSHINE!!!
    Between the two thoughts maybe I'll get some nice overcast. :D

    I don't care what the weatherman says,
    when the weatherman says it's rainin'
    you'll never hear me complainin'
    I'm certain the sun will shine...

    This is a VERY cool idea!

    Since I've never posted shots here before this will give me the perfect chance. (Just kind of blend in with everyone else and go under the radar.) :D

    Okay,
    Yes, I know stormy skies are the best but... I don't have an umbrella...or how else does one protect his/her gear? (I'm new and this is a serious question) Also, I am planning on taking my kids out on the 19 to a festival and if it rains I won't be taking the kids therefore less of a variaty for cool shots for the day.
    However, the "thinking sunshine" exercise has worked and the new forcast is looking good!!

    I hope everyone has fun tomorrow and I am really looking foward to seeing all your results thumb.gif

    I have been thinking about this non-official assignment and I really don't know what to do ne_nau.gif
    A shame indeed. :D

    I thought I could go and make some common/vulgar pictures of the day but I would like to come up with something far better.

    I will not fake EXIFs changing the date of the camera. I will not do it. I refuse. Even if it rains cats and dogs.

    Actually, it is raining here today and more rain is expected tomorrow.:D

    I will do my best, that is for sure. And if I shoot 564 pictures I will choose, therefore I must choose the 10 best.

    I am expecting to see very nice pictures here, from many good photographers.

    Good shooting people ! Let's go ! :Dthumb.gif

    Antonio,

    I'm somewhat in the same boat as you are...we are expected to get the coldest weather we have ever gotten this late in the year tomorrow...and yes, SNOW is also predicted rolleyes1.gif . I'll make the best of it somehow...

    My time starts at 12.15 Laughing.gif Band Shoot

    I look forward to seeing a vast diversity of photos....This is gonna be GREAAAAATTTTT *in my best Tony The Tiger imitation"...

    Paul, just a question, when we post the 10 pictures are we going to post each individual picture in a reply message, in a collage?? Is there a "special" thread your going to set up??
    You're only as good as your next photo....

    Dear Friends
    The day is almost ending here and I am very sad and disappointed.:cry:cry

    In the morning I had to go and take care of my old mother with all her problems...
    It was not raining but the day was cloudy with some showers from now and then.
    I headed to a sports camp in the afternoon and I shot some pictures: 657 of them.

    And I made some mistakes:
    I changed from raw to jpg - 1.st error. (I wanted more frames per second)
    and I made a compensation on the EV that gave me pictures overexposed by about 2 stops, in spite of the nice and well built histogram on which I was relying !! headscratch.gif

    I processed 5 or 6 photos and they were a shame for my reputation rolleyes1.gif

    All is erased at this moment and I am out of this round this time. :cry:cry

    I'll be watching your work.

    Thank you for reading these lines. Learn with my error.

    Here's my 0.02 €. Paul, start a new thread for the pictures and related discussion, and link the two threads from the first posts. We could then put our 10 pictures in journey(ish) style posts.

    How does that sound?

    PaulThomasMcKee would have to pick one of the worst (weather wise) April 19ths in recorded history for the pacific northwest. We've had rain, a lot of snow, hail, thunder, and a very tiny amount of sun. This Saturday it was snowing, last Saturday it was nearly 80!?!!

    Yet I look forward to seeing what everyone got!
