Weekly Challenge #107 Wind
Posted By: mingdie, 08-19-2009, 02:04 AM

This weeks challenge is something we can't see. But we can see the effects of it all around us. Wind. Let us see how you picture wind. All interpretations are welcome. The challenge will close on the 25 August and winners will be posted the following day.

It could be the wind in your hair.



Or using the wind for your pleasure.



Or a little whisper of wind.



The fine print....

1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

Many great and different takes on the subject so far. But I would like to see some more. Two days left so there is time to submit your wind photo.

Cheers

Here is my entry for Wind. It was taken at Ocean City MD on the
Boardwalk. It was very windy this weekend due to Hurricane Bill
out in the Atlantic Ocean.

Enjoy.

Okay, it's not very original, but it fits the theme, and I like it myself....
