Bi-weekly Photo Comp Week #49 - Weather

[Solo]

The rules are as follows:

• Entries will accepted until 11:59pm (GMT) Wednesday 12th June
• Each competition's voting will last for one week. The winner of that round will choose the next theme.
• All entries must have been taken within the last 6 months and preferably after the announcement of the theme.
• Entries must be posted as a thumbnail no larger than 700px on the longest edge. Full sized images may be as larger as you'd like.*
• You must submit only your own photographs, do not post anyone else's work.
• Only one photograph per person, marked with Final Entry. You can change your entry, but must remove your current entry first and clearly state that you have posted a new entry.
• You must not vote for your own photograph when the Poll is up. Only vote for a photograph taken by another entrant.
• The photograph must be submitted with the following information: Subject, Date and Camera used and, if you'd like, the major camera settings - shutter speed, ISO, etc.

*While full sized images may be as larger as you'd like, you should try to limit them to approximately 1200px to enable viewing the entire image without scrolling. It's much easier to see the full effect of the shot when you can view it all at once and not have to pan.

Current theme as chosen by week 46 winner, @wfooshee:

Weather. Clouds, storms, rain, lightning, tornado, whatever. People dealing with it, something resulting from it, or just the phenomenon itself.

 

[TB]

So... we have to go outside?!?

Hoping for a much larger turnout (myself included!) for this one.

 

[wfooshee]

I have so many weather pictures, but none in the last 6 months!!!! So it's an assignment for me, too!!!!
Shouldn't be TOO hard to find something here soon.....

 

[Cale]

Might switch it up if I get anything better.

[MatskiMonk]

Yeah, that's kind of stumped me too...

^ I'm struggling to understand the "Ev: 13" part...

In-body exposure compensation possibly?

 

[35mm]

In-body exposure compensation possibly?

That would be the first thought, yes, but a)I don't think cameras go that high (maybe up to +/-5, I guess) and b) the photo would be completely blown out.

It could also be "+1,3" but my EXIF info shows zero compensation.

f/5.6 + 1/200 sec = 13EV

 

[35mm]

Ha! So, not compensation but the whole exposure value.
Definitely makes sense; I'm just not used seeing it.

 

[TB]

I'm just not used seeing it.

Before today, I'd never even heard of it.

 

[Azuremen]

Before today, I'd never even heard of it.

I feel I'd seen it in passing but never really thought about it. Makes sense though.

Also, we had some weather tonight...​

See, that's what I've been looking for. Went to Orlando for the weekend, see reports of it storming the whole time back home.......

[35mm]

@Azuremen: might as well post next week's theme along with that entry. 👍

 

[TB]

This is usually the point at which someone comes in and posts an even more spectacular shot.

You'll notice a distinct lack of picture in this post, though...

 

[35mm]

^ You still didn't go outside, huh?

Oh, and I'm glad I've already posted my entry, so I don't have that weight on my shoulders.

 

[jus1029]

It has been a looooong time since I entered! I got a perfect shot for this week!
