RAIN

Posted by Saruj Thipsena (Bangkok, Thailand) on 10 October 2006 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

THAILAND is currently experiencing heavily raining period. Though it is supposed to be the end of raining season, and the beginning of winter, by now; but for some reasons, we are still having trouble with rain and flood situation in many areas all over the country.

I guess people who like photography, would not like the raining season much, right ? Not only because we cannot get out gear outside, but photography needs good lighting and the rain usually keeps our sunny days away.

I took this shot from my garage at home during a rainy day last year. After totally laying down myself over the floor, I used my 70-200 lens with manual focusing mode and kept shooting the rain drops.

Among 30-40 shots, I guess i got around 5 "OK" shots, and here is the one I like most.

but i still hate *rain*, anyway.
