Ha! It doesn't rain here, anymore.

I like motion. :)

Hi members - I fouled up the suggestion merge - woops.
But the theme with the most support for regular assignment was Motion.
level 2 assignment had a tie so I'm making the executive call and just choosing gelled flash. Level 2 assignment is located here.

Ok then who will post first?

OK, I will start it. I feel it is a little dark, but I love the colors

More nice additions.... I absolutely love the colour in that last one, AT. Nice catch, noobclicker, skate park images are difficult. Finding the right angle is always the hardest part, I find.

Ok, my turn... took me a few days but it's been a slow start to the month for photography for me.

Grind by Justin Ryan sr, on Flickr

Very cool Justin - I'm really enjoying your creativity!

Both images were taken with a 200mm lens and a polarizing filter. Also, the images have been compressed horizontally to emphasize the swells and dips of the water.

Cool shots, Doug. Nicely done. I like the results of the compression.

Stillness AND motion

Here is mine for the month.

Cool addition. I like how the fellow in the back is still but the other two are moving. Interesting.

Thanks Iggy!

I recently puchased some extension tubes so I thought I would give this one a try.
