p.1 #1 · #480 Grey afternoon


I think this week's topic is tough.

Over the years that I'm taking photos, I've dabbled into taking quite a few kinds of photos, but taking photos of rain is something that equally stumped me now and back then when I just got started. However after today I think I might have finally taken the baby step forward on this.

Nice moody shot. I love shooting in this kind of weather. Except for the rain. Nicely done.

This is a nice image. However, is that a speck of dust on your sensor? Just above the horizon, a third of the way in from the right.

You are right, I haven't paid attention to this sort of things for a while, I took a close look of my photos and found that there are quite a few spots! Thanks for pointing it out. I replaced the photo with one that is cleaned up.

Reminds me of the weather we had here for more than a week! Heavy overcast and rain. Quite like the fine pixel image border. Good choice.

Thanks all for your kind words.

AuntiPode,

What do you mean by the border? I didn't put any border.

I do like this one, but my first reaction was not rain, but fog.

At the lighter portions of the image, there appears to be a 1 or 2 pixel light border. It does not appear in the dark areas, at least on my screen.

Travis,

Thanks.

The rain streaks are quite fine even when zoomed in at 100%, and visible only at the foreground. At this resolution it's pretty much invisible actually.

It is the main reason that I said I didn't really know how to shoot rain, most of the time it just turns up as a blur.

I do notice the thin border line now, I wonder how it got there? Artifact from resizing? in the Photoshop window I can't see the thin border since the picture is surrounded by the window.
