Gardenia In The Rain

At some point you just have to embrace the weather you have, and so I ventured out into the Blade Runner drizzle. The second flush of gardenia blooms was the most interesting subject matter at hand, the white of the flowers picking up the soft diffuse ambient light. I had just finished an hour long workout and my arms were shaking like a couple of leaves. Glad I had shake reduction on the camera.

When the Rain Comes...

... pick up your camera. You never know what you'll find. Even though it was raining heavily, there was still interesting light, albeit attenuated. Luckily, I was able to shoot from a sheltered spot and didn't have to worry about the camera getting soaked. I like the abstract composition here.

Good light to you this weekend.
