We had some lovely colours and textures in the sky once the rain cleared.

I've got one in the bank - what I love about this challenge is that I usually would not have bothered taking my camera when I'm popping out on an errand, especially when the light isn't great. But with one eye on this challenge I took my camera with me when I went to get diesel earlier, stopping for a short walk on the way, and managed to get a half-decent silhouette photo.

I'm struggling with Febs challenge. Been out 3 times and got nothing, mind I was rained off each time more or less. This weathers a PITA.

I had a couple of ideas, but they either didnt work, or they just looked terrible, trying to find something that looks recognisable enough to work is tricky. I dont know who picked this subect, but it's making us think and work for it. Which is a good thing.

I dunno. Some chimneys are pretty cool
Alternatively as Gav said. Go the window sill method

Actually it was an almost silhouette that was a big WoW moment in my photography.
I think it was my 10th birthday when my parents bought me a Kodak Instamatic 36 and I loved it. One day I took a picture of one of my sisters and a horse and my sister came out in almost silhouette against the much brighter background and when I saw the result I thought wow! and realised that as well as capturing reality a camera could also be used more artistically to create an effect.
