The rain became horizontal from behind me, so I stood behind a tree...it gave me a few minutes to contemplate a shot. The rain can't be seen, but the effect of it can...

A perfect depiction of a very wet day. I can feel the damp even though the sun is streaming through the window here! Love the blurred car. Just right.

Thanks, Pete. I took a dozen shots before the white car came to my rescue - perfect colour against the dark background.

Damned fine and I think the only thing I might address are the purple fringes on the fine twigs. Lens Corrections, Color in LR.

Well spotted!

A very fine picture and one of the few in bad / wet weather Rob. Not a lot of people take pictures during that time. Wonder why really, 'cause it's usually a very good light at that time. I do not know, but here by me on my tablet, I do not see any colour fringes. The white car made a significance I guess. This first face is meant, the next one is a mistake.

Thanks, Ivar. Yes, I don't like going out in the rain, but it has got me a few interesting photos. I think I need a waterproof camera for this time of year!

I'm not going into peoples economy, but if that was no option, I think I would go for xt1 and one of its new weather resistant lenses. But a Pentax 50 or 30 if available is much cheaper.

I can't even afford a roll of film at the moment. But I'm not complaining, as I have lots of cameras already, some excellent digital ones, and they cost nothing to shoot and develop. Just haven't got a lot of time due to teaching commitments.
