After the Rain

[Chris Calohan]

Twenty-eight straight days of rain...I've managed to sneak out between downpours a few times to get some decent shots but have been socked in now for four days straight and I'm going nuts. I shot these through a screened window. The first is a straight shot while the second involves a little tomfoolery. Cabin fever, I guess.

Okay, so the heist went well; now how are you going to fence the rocks?

As long as you were playing around, you should have tried the fish eye lens!

I think I played with everything. Was really just looking to build a texturized background for some other messing around. I still do some graphic design work for a few folks.

I like them both.

Fascinating stuff, Chris.

Very interesting and a nice visual three dimensionality to the first one, simple yet effective, as most good images should be.

I like them both, but prefer the first un-tomfooleried one - yes I know that's probably not a real word, but you know what I mean

Thanks for the comments. I think the second has more potential, but I am going to have to experiment with some different lenses. It is obviously a composite shot and while I like the grass in the background, I know the raindrops are too sharp.but, if I go too soft with them, then I go almost everything oof and I found the raindrops lose much of their appeal that way. It is a good thing to play with when trapped by incessant rain. Worst I can remember in the 30+ years I've lived here.
