Weather and Water

Your Weather, like mine, may not seem extreme at the moment but extreme depends on your viewpoint. In this gallery I've attempted to go out and find expressions of extreme weather. I thought about how to express photographically what is mostly sky, air, moisture or precipitation. I thought about how weather appears in the various seasons and how to express an interesting image of that. I found that weather can be dramatic too. And if you like some of these it may be that I captured something familiar in a new way that stirs feelings for the subject.
The link below leads to a photo challenge I hosted on an Olympus camera forum called "Extreme Weather". The first gallery has about 50 images of weather that people sent me from all over the world. There are about 40 more photos in the 2nd gallery, “Challenge Entry” which was for competition. http://www.pbase.com/otfchallenge/challenge_70_extreme_weather
