DPNow Salon Competition No.128 - "Clouds"

The next challenge is "Clouds."

Looking at some snaps that I took today while having a walk along the River Trent, I got the idea to use Clouds as the next subject. This will allow anyone to enter where ever they are in the world or whatever equipment they have. Any type of clouds will do, so get that camera out and look up!



This Salon will end at Midnight GMT on Tuesday 21st August, 2012

The rules, as usual:

1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/


They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as a links to an image held somewhere else).

4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

6. The curators decision is final.

7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.


Let's have a good turn out!

Geoff.

Great choice of subject, Geoff, and very topical at the moment here in the UK.

I'll kick off.

Taken on a recent ferry trip from Mallaig to the Isle of Eigg, this is the Isle of Rhum passed en route.

Clouds

Blustery winds. Sunny intervals with passing showers, heavy at times.

Re: DPNow Salon Competition No.128 - "Clouds"

As a former meteorologist, this theme warms my heart! I wrestled with a few choices: The sun breaking though morning clouds at my ski race course in Vermont, sun breaking through clouds at dawn in Bermuda, a horseshoe shaped contrail, and a blurry shot I took of a funnel cloud in Tampa. Ultimately I went with this one. Each year I compete at the NASTAR ski and snowboard racing national championships. Our plane was descending into Denver when I spotted this view.
