to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the timeframe deal either, but it does level the playing field - everyone has the same week to take the picture, and hopefully, it inspires some creativity into the interpretation of the theme - these don't necessarily have to be pictures of the sun setting on the western horizon ...
Oh - and if you have a great pic, post it up anyways!

You are lucky that digital cameras were $1200 when I lived on the coast. There were some amazing sunsets there. There's some decent ones here, also. I'll see if I can get one tomorrow, but there aren't any clouds, so the sky might not be so pretty, but the scenery around it might.

If you have a really great pic on film, take it to a real camera shop (like Ritz, Wolf, etc) - most of them can scan the negative at VERY high resolution, resulting in a very good digital file.

Alright, here is my official entry this week. Who says you cant get a good sunset in Wisconsin in April? (actually I think I just got really lucky since it's been raining the last 5 days)
It was quite cool here today, and was down to about 40 degrees tonight and the wind was whipping pretty good. So by the time I managed some good shots my hands were freezing!
