Cool topic. Its been raining all March, now let's see how long it takes to get a rain again!

 

Rain! We have 20cm of snow today... Hopefully that will change soon, or we may have to fake this one. Cool topic.

 

The rain has stopped here now, we probably won't get much til next winter. That might make things tricky.

 

I don't think getting the rain will be an issue for me, but getting my MINI back from the dealer is another story...

 

Oh! I took a good rain photo last year. Going to storm tonight on my way home so I shouldn't have any problems getting some rain photos.

 

good timing,cuz its going to rain here this weekend.I think

 

Figures, only getting snow!

I initially uploaded the wrong file size , so I resized it, and uploaded my pict again, will it still be considered for contest?

 

Yup. I'll delete the improperly sized one.

 

Thanks! I got an e-mail saying that my photo was deleted from the contest, so I'm assuming that was the larger file size one?

 

Yup. everything is in order for your entry.

 

Thanks again! Hope you guys like the pict

 

I did the same thing. Large than small sized image. A slap on the wrist please!

 

All better.

 

You guys are on the ball! I have photos... but there is still lots of time left and lots of rainy days left..... then I'm going to have to figure out which of mine is best to submit...

 

not much of my car in mine but when your hand is poking out of the sunroof holding your camera at highway speeds you literally aim in the general direction and hope for the best

 

That sounds dangerous!

My photo is uploaded.

 

You can shoot through the windscreen - with the steering wheel as a makeshift tripod. Again, not recommended at speed...

 

nah mine is cracked and sand pitted from driving through a sandstorm and a couple tire thrown stones on a trip across hwy 40 coming back from Vegas.

 

I have this theory that they use softer glass for windscreens in Europe.

 

I just entered one, not long to go if anyone else wants a go.

 

Our whole state is in a drought. Not sure if we will get rain any time soon. Oh well will think of something, maybe a road trip!

 

A drought?! I don't remember the last day it didn't rain here.... it's been raining for weeks.
i'm praying it doesn't rain on Tuesday so I get get my car washed for MOTD.... It is so dirty.

 

I am excited to see these at noon!

Also even in drought there are a lot of ways to mimic rain for a photo
