With a hint of a hurricane in the air, John’s challenge is images of Extreme Weather.You have until the handing-in day of the 16/04/2012 to get your digital images ready for the competition. Here are some guidelines:•Open to IOTPS members only.•Limited to the UK Mainland and Coast.•Can be behind glass in the safety of car, train, plane or inside a building.The best photo will be the one I think is the most dramatic, an overall mix of luck (being in the right place at the right time) and the impression the photographer went the extra mile to get the photograph will also play a part in my decision.I will consider the capture of something happening far more interesting than a view of the aftermath the day after.Just to reiterate a shot of a threatening sky or seascape on its own won't do it either.The winner (s) will each receive an Argos voucher.Good luck.:NotesMonday Evenings@ 19.30 - 22.00
