Weather can be good or bad, cooperative or a pain in the rear end.
Sadly the weather was more pain than good this round.

Here is the only film, and the winner of the WEATHER challenge:

Everyone:
Please use this thread to give Bob some well deserved feedback.

Well done Bob,

I like it. I was ding something like yours but more with the birds and the weather. I did not get time to do it as work and some other things came in the way.

Donald McPherson · December 2nd, 2018, 04:50 AM

Inspirational. Well done. Had there been 100 entrants I think still a winner.

Mick Jenner · December 3rd, 2018, 04:04 AM

First of all well done Bob for submitting an entry and putting us all to shame yet again.

Loved your entry, it exactly match the theme brief with the added personal connection to videographer's getting out there and film not matter what the weather throws at you.

Thanks for keeping the challenge alive this month, for that reason alone you are a worthy winner but, to submit a terrific film to boot is more than icing on the cake.

Thank you Trond for keeping faith with these challenges, hopefully we can all do justice to your efforts next round

Yes Bob well done. I know that when it comes to wildlife you sometimes don't have much time to get the shot before it's gone so hand held has to do.
You really put the rest of us to shame. This theme should have been a real easy one and I'm a little embarrassed to say I didn't even think of going the route you did even as a plan b.
Thanks to you and Trond for keeping this going.

Thank you everyone for your comments, I’m glad you enjoyed my video, I had a lot of fun shooting it. Right now I am in Patagonia. I believe that we need to extending the time to two months. And, allow us to use some footage that we filmed previously as long as it has not been used before in any other challenge. Hopefully that will get more people to enter, I think that will give more time for people that still work to go out and film and edit and enjoy the challenge. Once again, thank you for your comments. I really appreciate the feedback. Keep shooting. Bob.

Bob,

I really enjoyed watching this. You did some hauntingly beautiful stuff with some neat weather. Well done!

Trond Saetre · December 12th, 2018, 05:05 AM

Well done, Bob! To easy to just be a fair weather filmmaker.

LeRoy Gunderson · December 13th, 2018, 03:11 PM

Nice job, Bob. Very well done.

Bob Safay · December 23rd, 2018, 05:48 AM

Thank you to everyone for your comments. I must admit that I was becoming a "Fair weather shooter" until I actually got out on a few "bad days" and realized that there were many beautiful things to shoot in the rain, wind, clouds, even snow. I believe that the older I get the more I realize how precious and beautiful each day is regardless of the weather. So please, lets just get out there and shoot video, take pictures, have fun and live! Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all. Bob
