I did once, but not twice.

Easy to see what caught your eye here. Love the starkness of the orange against the darkness of the pavement.

thanks...between worm rescues there was this. : ) I'm seriously considering an E-1 which is weatherproof, old and affordable. Has an original Kodak sensor and puts out some mean Jpegs I'm told. I could go out & play all day in the rain with one of those.

I use a storm jacket in the rain.
The biggest issue I have with rain is it getting on the lens. I usually put the wide angle away and use the 24-70mm instead because the lens hood is so much longer :)

[Wicked Dark]

the lens I'm not worried about since it is weathesealed, other than droplets on the filter it's fine. damn...forgot to put the hood on. whatta dope. : )

[Mad Aussie]

Yeh my 24-70 can handle plenty of water on it but it's the droplets on the front element/filter that are a pain.

Beauty shot WD! :)

Oh, yes, the stop and back up two steps. Most of the time, I manage not to run into anyone. I like leaves, and I like the color on this one.

Love the contrast between the bright orange and asphalt. The numerous fissures in asphalt also add to it, for sure.

Good eye. I was walking with my wife the other day and did one of those hold up I gotta shoot this. She's like, "What? A bunch of twigs?" - she doesn't get it ;)

Nicely done job. I like how this one turned out.

[Wicked Dark]

thanks everyone. I'm glad I'm not the only one who tries to see something admirable in the mundane and gets caught crouched over a tripod in questionable circumstances.

what everyone else said ;)

[Wicked Dark]

thanks everyone. I was out in the yard yesterday after the rain and didn't see anything 1/2 so cool. I need a bigger yard.

[Marko]
