A Wee Trip Out In The Rain

[Rob MacKillop]

I stayed in all day watching the golf (Go Rory!) then went out for a walk, and within 100 yards found myself in a real storm, and dark, dark light. Beautiful

What a fantastic set Rob. Love them all but the two highlights for me are Wet and Off-On. The latter is especially evocative I think.

 

[Pat Reehal]

Could have wiped your lens, the last two are very blurred.

Excellent set, felt the rain running down my back.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, lads.

"Wet" surprised me. I was just photographing the marks on the wall. It wasn't until after I took the shot that I noticed the word 'wet'. Nik Silver helped bring it out.

Excellent Rob a treat to see. The first for me is a stunner but they all are . Tripod?
A nice couple of Cory Eagles and enjoyed listening to the commentary today .

No tripod, Julian. Just quick hand-held shots in the rain. Not bad. The oof ones - the DP3 just could get a proper focus when I first turned it on, but I kind of liked the effect. Then it went and spoiled it all by finding its focus range.

Yes sometimes I hit the manual focus button and get home to find some interesting shots. I do belong to a group on Flickr which is called 'Focus is over rated' One or two great pics there.

My favourite, by far, is the second last one. A very good collection.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Tom.

 

[Beth Anthony]

wet was a good find, fairly appropriate for the day too. i like the three out of focus shots at the end too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Beth. I wasn't sure people would like the oof shots, but what do I know?

I specially love the spider web for #3, nice shot Rob

Thanks, Alsous. That was a difficult one to get. Glad it worked out.
