Assignment #387: Summer Storms

Brian Matiash recently wrote about embracing bad weather for the dramatic quality it adds to landscape photography and for the challenges it brings. And the warm summer months are the perfect time to capture the action. Instead of staying indoors when bad weather hits, seek out dramatic clouds, massive waves, lightning, rainbows and other moody conditions, and submit your best shots of summer storms by September 4. Just make sure you take measures to protect yourself and your gear!—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
