Supercell Photograph Contest (Now till 0Z 12/19/05)

[Aaron Kennedy]

Nick's thread gave me a great idea... lets have a contest! To combat SDS, open that chest of photographs you've taken during your chases.

Take your best supercell shot and merge it with a foreground of your choice... it can be wacky, scenic, whatever. Just put a supercell in a place you wouldn't normally expect it! The winner gets nothing more than the pleasure of beating out everyone else!

The Rules:
-Supercell shot must be taken by yourself.
-Foreground can be from whatever, but if it is not your picture... please credit the proper place or ask for permission if it is from a specific photographer.
-Contest runs from now till 0Z on December 19th.
-Each stormtrack member may post (1) shot.
-At the end of the period, I'll setup a voting thread for all valid entries.
-Limit posts to submissions within this thread. Add a title or caption!

Stormchasers.... start your image editing software!

Ice sheet supercells will become the norm...not the abnorm 100 years from now... and chasing will expand to arctic latitudes that were once considered vast acreages of wilderness. Southern Saskatchewan has become the new Oklahoma by this time as the southern and central plains have now become deeply embedded in tropical easterlies. Chasing has gotten so crowded in southern Canada that veterans of the mid and late 2000s have migrated to 75°N and points north....

By 2220, tour groups make the jump to week long chase tours along one of the Martian Caprocks....

Although gas is now around $1099.99 per gallon, many tourists are willing to pay to see the rare martian tornadic supercell.

That's some nice work, Dan.

Wow, Dan got Al Pietrycha as the Hitch Hiker from the famous 9/11 photos in a tornado shot.

SWEET!

Sometimes my viewfinder is a place I wouldn't normally expect to find a supercell!!! :lol:
