p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nickerson Beach in the rain

I've been playing catchup since returning from our 3 week trip. This left me with the itch to get out and take some photos so I headed to Nickerson Beach with the threat of showers. It sprinkled some and then the dark clouds moved in and it poured. I enjoyed the solitude on the beach and got to take some unique images.

Well worth the damp outing. Looks like the poor little guy in #2 is all hunched up to avoid the rain... Mike

Well done Morris. It looks like there were some very large raindrops hitting the water ~ Ron

Thank you Mike,
The sanderling was puffed up to stay warm and running to avoid a wave

Thank you Ron,
Yes those drops were huge and you knew when one hit you as it was like you were hit by a water cannon

Wet, wet, wet! That's what I could gather from your images and I admire your endurance, Morris! I enjoy the skimmer and the oyster catcher images

I really like 2 and 3 for the added visual effect of rain falling into the puddles and the microscopic explosions they represent.

Awesome captures Morris.

How do you manage to keep your camera/lens dry?

Have a nice Sunday,

Thank you Douglas,
The water the rain is falling into is the surf

Thank you Steve,
I enjoyed most of the rain, it was very refreshing and much nicer than the smoke we endorsed out west

That's so awesome Morris, that it's built for getting wet

It must be so nice not having to worry about water damage.

I hope Canons products become waterproof.

Thanks for taking the time to embed a video for me.

Have a nice day,
BB

These shots in the rain are really fun to see, Morris. That juvie tern has that annoyed look at its face, probably because of the rain :P

It is my pleasure to share BB. The rain washed the dust off from my trip out west. Saved me the effort :-}

Thank you Adhika,
The birds did not seem to mind the rain though they may have become a bit more active
