When it rains, Make pictures

[Taylor Yeager]

I could not take it anymore. I received a new 40D a week ago and had not had a chance to use it. It has been raining/snowing/cloudy for the past week+ straight. Today I went to the same location where I made the high key eider shots I have been posting lately. The sun came out for about 30 mins and quickly turned into sleet(snowy rainy windy mess for you floridians :cool:). I packed up into my truck and then noticed a male eider swimming up the channel. I got my gear back out, retreated under a blanket and was able to make this image.

For the weather we have had here in Maine and New England lately...you deserve a gold star just for trying!

[Fabs Forns]

What an excellent mood for the image, I love rain drops. Well exposed and well placed. I am very envious....

[Arthur Morris]

**** nice! Fab's trick of lightening a dark eye in a black mask might help this one as well. Three gold stars for being out there. There are lots of great pix to be made in bad weather. At Bosque we pray for anything but blue skies.

later and love, artie

Hi Taylor,

Love the COLD feeling on this one. You did well by going back and get the image. The low angle works very well!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great mood captured although I'm a bit sick of all that rain. :)

Nice subtle details and color. The mood of the shoot really comes through in this one.
