[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

[Laputacake]

After looking through my pictures all I've found is cats and no rain. Hmm

[PhantomChevron]

Hmm I could try, but the rain all of a sudden decided to stop

LOL why would you post this here?  This thread is only for challenge submissions.  Maybe place the photo in the "Rate the Photo" thread.  Cute fish though

I just dont have time for the challenge at the moment. I would like to but I have finals in 4 weeks and some I got studying to do. 

[Silvercall]

@Jaybird  No worries.  We should just try to keep images in this thread strictly for the challenge.  Good luck on your finals!

[handymanshandle]

Right now would be a perfect time, however precipitation predictions for my area have let me down... There was a 70% chance of rain today...

 

 (I'm just using Minneapolis because that's like the next county over for me...)

[Bsmith]

sooo.... how is everybodies progress?

 

im currently waiting for the rain since making it myself didnt really work out so well(maybe tomorow whne i get some pipets form school) fridy it's uspposed to rain here...

and if friday also goes wrong i guess i have to dig up one of my older pics, altough that wouldnt be challenging, more like digging through a external HDD.

 

@Momas I just noticed that the poll starts at 3rd of april according to OP, shouldn't this be 3rd of may? :rolleyes:

fixed

I would suggest next time a challenge that's not dependent on an uncontrollable variable. I've only had 1 day of rain so far and I was in school and working all day.

[rmac52]

A better challenge would have been a water theme. Or somthing else that was doable by anyone.

"Current challenge theme: Rain (If there's no rain you can always create your own!)"

You could try using a hose or even a shower-head.

you can take the concept of rain as far as you want, even the "it was raining and went to a car expo" could go up you you are willing to take it that far.

or like the OP says, create your own rain, a few droplets on a leaf, use the garden hose etc.

[Silvercall]

My submission....  Its a photo I took a couple years ago.  This week is pretty busy for me so I had to resort to some old files....

Sports car parked in front of a high end hotel.  It had rained that morning.

I have every intention of participating but I do primarily nature photography so the idea of simulating rain is off putting. I have my shot planned out already but I would be happier if I could get it with real rain.

I was just offering my opinion on the topic. I would hate for the next challenge to be something like lighting.
