The Colour Of Rain
The sun will be back tomorrow, but soon it will be day after day of rain. That's life here in the Pacific Northwest.
At least in Victoria it rarely snows, but the constant rain can really get on your nerves. Every fall I have to make an effort to fight off the blues and get outside.
It's not all bad however. I find colours can be quite vivid in the rain. Bad weather photography can be more rewarding than shooting under a bright blue sky.
While I enjoy the reflected light on the leaves, this might look better with a polarizing filter which would remove some of the glare. I have to remember to give this a try.
Wet streets are always interesting. I like shooting with my little Olympus em-5 because it fits in my coat pocket and it's easy to keep it dry.
My Nikon DSLR has much better image quality, but that doesn't help if it sits at home on a shelf. The small camera is always with me.
Just remember... when the clouds roll in and it starts to rain, take some kind of camera, whatever you have, and go take some photos!
Rain is like the formula for a great photo. It creates such a great atmosphere and the droplets looks magnificent. It isn't great being drenched by it though, haha.
Thank you, and I did get pretty wet today! :)
Thank you very much @pixresteemer!
I'd love to, but it has been raining cats and dogs here for three days straight! This is really unusual for here. It usually rains hard for a few hours and then the sun comes out. Haven't seen the sun in days either. I am a person that needs the sun...
Hope you get some sunshine soon! You know exactly how I feel... stay dry! :)
Lovely photographs @keithboone. Rain under a blue sky makes for great subjects. it's the grey drizzly days that are tough. I remember a lot of those when I was in Seattle. 😊
Thank you Gillian! We have sunshine tomorrow, then who knows? Seattle and Victoria have basically the same weather so yeah... you understand.

That's awesome, thanks so much!
Nice photos :)
Thanks very much!
Good advice. It's what I always tell myself about cold freezing winter days, too! But somehow that never really happens. It's so much easier to just stay indoors where it's warm!
Warm is good too... :) I don't do well in freezing temperatures. Fortunately, we avoid most of that here.
