But the place where and how I took the picture limited my ability to fill the frame with the streaks of rain. This was a “spur of the moment” shot that I caught simply because I had my camera with me at the office.

I purposefully focused on the leaves to show that ALL of them were dripping wet from the rain that was streaking everywhere else in the photo.

As for the storm sewer idea, that’s a great one. If given the opportunity to make something like that work in the future, I will. But with the volume of water that came down during this outbreak, I would have feared for the camera’s life. After all, neither my Rebel XSi nor kit lens are weather sealed.

I’m not discounting your comments. In fact, I relish in them. They give me further ideas on how to improve my craft. Thanks for commenting and giving me your guidance.
