OK - so I've given this no prior thought, having no expectation of even being in the top 3 - and I've no idea what's been done recently, so please accept my apologies if this repeats something, but I'll call the theme Pictures of the Wind - images showing the effect of the wind on things, either natural or man-made - long-term or temporary -interpret as you wish - and have fun!


The competition ends 11.00pm Thursday 24th Mar 2016(UK Time) (hope it's OK to change the day as I started late - the previous one wasthe first one I've entered

I have a bit of an obsession with the unpredictable results that come from slow shutter speeds, however I don't actually shoot nearly enough of them. Here is my entry. A slightly older shot, but one of my favorites.



Model: PENTAX K-5
ISO: 80
Exposure: 20.0 sec
Aperture: 13.0
Focal Length: 15mm
Flash Used: No

I also went with a personal favorite from last winter. Last year was a really cold and snowy winter. This was taken late on acold Sunday afternoon as the light was fading. And it was windy, I remember the wind and snow in my face and setting the tripod up to get a low angle, I think I was lucky not to get frostbit.

Anemometer and windsock #27.

OOPS - I forgot it was shot with a Canon - sorry!

I'll go with this photo that I took with my K20D back in 2010.

No one can see the wind itself, but its effects can be easily shown. Lac La Ronge in Saskatchewan on a very poor day for boating.

Kviljobukta after two stormy summer days. Those are indeed 5 people on top of the rock. A deadly shallow stretch of the south-western coast of Norway in the past, today a popular (kite-)surfing destination.
