Rain day... · 02:29 PM

The light is soft, the rain is falling, the birds are wet, motion blur from shooting 1/00 sec a F-10 with a 400mm lens is ruining most of he images..

Oh well, we can always use a 2 second delay and F16 on the flower box....

I'd need a special little birdie cloth so I didn't lose him in the towel.

No need for a tiny towel - just use a hair dryer... err, feather dryer!

Despite the dark conditions, some very nice photos of the soggy birds, and especially nice floral image.

Thanks for commenting.... as for the flowers, it's such a treat to shoot things that just hold still when you take their picture, although I can hear the peanut gallery groaning, saying "where's the fun in that?"

Fall is coming for sure, I'm looking forward to the change of scenery.

Really like that first one Norm. Nice and soggy. We are hiring ourselves out to any parched area that needs some rain. It has been following us everywhere.

I like the first shot. We have been lucky with the weather lately!

You should have said so before yesterday, we might have gone for it.

This is our first real rain in close to a month, so, I can't complain.
