71 - Rain

Theme 32.

Photobucket

This one's from earlier this year, but I'd been saving it. It might seem odd at first for the "Rain" theme, but I do like being different, and it IS still rain. The photo is actually of the streetlight outside my house, at night, with the raindrops on the lounge window. Because I focused on the raindrops, the light outside went soft focus and an orange circle - the black background was courtesy of the night. The raindrops are edged by the light from outside.

I wanted something different, and you should have seen the number of photos it took me to get one steady, without camera shake (the full 200mm zoom I think, at night... even with a high ISO, it still shook - I had to prop myself against our TV and just keep trying). But I do like a different view of things, it's very... me ;-)

I think this is wonderful.

This would make a good card of some description.

Great shot!! I was playing with the camera for a similar shot a couple of weeks ago, while I was waiting in the car and it was raining, but I had the Burger King sign in the background and it wasn't completely dark, so mine didn't turn out at nice as yours, by far.. ;)

This is an awesome shot!
I haven't been to your site in a few weeks and for that, I apologize. What I've missed is unbelievable! There are some incredible shots here!

Thanks!

Oh how neat! It kind of reminds me of the candle light photography I did last semester. Pretty!
