Taking photos every day, I guess I need to learn a bit about taking photos in the rain. So I looked online for a guiding blog and every photo I took following online advice turned out black, not dark, black. :( So I started playing.
I had hoped the flower photo would show the rain falling but no rain. The drip is OK, although the entire photo is dark and I'm not sure what I should have done about that. Settings were: ISO100, manual focus, f8, 1/60 on Manual. And all were taken on evaluative metering and cloudy white balance. So I tried again...

This time I almost got a droplet splash - if you look really close in the middle you can see some splash and little spray coming up. But not a good shot, yet. I'm learning though with every failure! :)
Settings were ISO100, f6.3, 1/100, manual focus, -0.7 exposure compensation.

Look really close - you can almost see how hard it's been raining all day. But again, not a good photo, but I'm learning to blur the water. Settings were ISO100, f5.6 1/40, manual focus, TV and +0.7 exposure compensation.
I think maybe I learned something today ... I'm not sure exactly what, but hopefully it'll be an exercise to build on.
If anyone out there reading this has any idea of what I should have done better, please PLEASE leave a comment and help me learn!
