Good afternoon lovely nw photographers :)

Post into this thread any photos taken during September that you wish to enter into our Monthly Photo Competition. Maximum three entries per member.

**New this month**

Entries will NOT be accepted if they're sized above 1024 x 768.

So please resize - ideally to 800 x 600, as this is the autosize they appear in the gallery.

Here's a free resizing programme - it really couldn't be easier:

As usual, the winning entry will be the photo for September in the 2008 netweather.tv calendar.

Happy snapping :)

Bob? Fred? How about Rover? It looks like one of those dogs with lots of rolls of skin (shar-pei?) snoozing, with its paws stretched out to the bottom right. Well, I think so. :)

I always see things in cloud formations.

PS - nice pic, tuggy.

Oooo it does too!!!! one of my fav things to do, finding a figure in a cloud, my other half thinks I am mad, and he would probably be right :)

Very nice pic Tuggy, I love the darkness in the front, makes it look very angry (not the right word but couldnt think of the right word :) )

Hi Paula,

I thought Cloudburst was back there for a moment

ya cheeky young whippersnapper :p :unsure:

there were some incredible clouds around yesterday up here, but nothing came of them for all they looked full of mean intensity and anger :( a few big drips of rain and that was it! i was most disappointed, still awaiting my 4th thunderstorm in being here for 4 years!

I forgot to say that it is a great photo, It really does look like it was taken from an aeroplane, thus my initial reaction

Well done and lets hope you get some more thunderstorms. We dont get many either here in Dublin.

Here are my first two for September taken with my new camera :)

I love the second picture as it depicts the perfect village setting in my mind, and with that comes ideas of quiet country walks, sitting in the garden on a warm summers night, watching the sunset. Thats what good pictures do IMO. Great stuff

Nick F, I love the mist, so delicate, like nature unwrapping a new day. :)

Ed: I suppose this should be called Duck l'Orange! :)

Thanks cc this picturesque part of the country side is where we take our dog for walk the place is Apperley in in Gloucestershire, there is also a nature reserve further on along the path into the woodlands..every time I pass that cottage in the pic I end up feeling really envious of the people who live there .Gosh they are so lucky!

Three absolute beauties there, OON. The colours in the first shot are stunning and the silhouetted trees are really crisp. I love the juxtaposition of the spider's web and barbs as well, and the third shot is very tranquil and well framed. You have set the bar very high this month. Damn you! :doh::D
