Title: When it Rains, It Poors.


Story: This was from the Land Rover booth at NAIAS taken today, I had so many plans to take advantage of their great booth, but after 3 exposures they turned off the water. Luckily 1 of the 3 came out like this. The other 2, not soo much.

I saw the title first before scrolling and thought it would be a picture of a homeless person in the rain, but then I saw the pic...
Is the "poors" spelling supposed to have a meaning? Is it because LRs are so expensive? Or did you mean to say "pours"?

Thanks for the new entries.

C'mon people, the possible subjects for this contest are numerous! The tricky part is trying to make something normal and potentially boring, look interesting and eye-catching. You can do eeet.

BTW, the poll is essentially ready for when the contest closes. I've been adding the entries/links as they were posted. I can probably get the poll started on the 28th just as easily as I can on the 29th. Let me know your thoughts. I can post it a day early or wait til the scheduled date.

Yeah, I know. I'm on call this weekend so I've got the work truck. I had some ideas, too...but they definitely want a tripod, which I won't have back until Monday.

I repeat, I suck.

hope its ok i change my entry - i did a few shots today including this one and the other one and after looking at the other one some more I realized I wanted to go with the more artsy one. this was shot with a lowball glass over the lens - the only PP it has is NR, contrast, brightness, and saturation adjustment. The green light is the distorted LED on my computer speakers, another thing which I use every day.

"through the looking glass"

Oh hell no! My car is just at work so I could bring the work truck home for the weekend while I'm on call. My >$1k tripod is safe & sound in my trunk at the office. It's just too far away to be worth going to get when I've already driven all over northern VA today treating horses...and have a high probability of doing more of the same tonight.




I may see if I can get anything decent w/ a flash...
