Early this afternoon we had a heavy thunderstorm move through the area; the rain was so heavy at times I couldn’t hear my radio! I decided to venture out a bit (with my umbrella). After I got back inside, the sun came out before the rain left, and caused a really neat effect, it’s like I had a mega-flash illuminating the drops! 🙂
29 mm, 1/160 sec, f/8.0, ISO 400, (Staying Dry)
55 mm, 1/20 sec, f/10, ISO 100 (Sun and Rain)
These came out so nice!
Thanks Gina! 🙂
That’s faantastic! The sun really brought the downpour to life – I’ve been trying to capture the sheer volume of rain from our monsoon storms, but without the light, it’s just like a grey curtain! Bravo:)
Thanks!! I’ve been trying for something like this image for a long time, too! It is a blessing to have the perfect conditions to make that photo!
The second photo is something special.. fantastic…
Thanks! I was truly blessed to have the perfect conditions for that image!
Love the atmosphere in the second photo.
And the composition in the first one with the umbrella is really striking!
