Playing in the rain

Since we've had days of torrential rain it's tough to want to go anywhere much, so between showers I just stayed in the yard -

The first is with the Olympus E-30 and the ZD 12-60mm and the other two with the manual OM 90mm macro lens.

Ohhhh - I like that first one of the floating leaf. Tighter might be better. But I likes it!

Good for you, getting out in the rain to shoot. I think weather makes for really interesting photos. It adds an extra element (heh heh) that can move photos of normally mundane subjects to a higher level. Being willing to get out there and experiment in uncomfortable conditions is a sign of a good photographer :)

They are all great! I love the second one

So many of us duck and run when it rains. Glad you didn't some great results.

Thanks guys. The rain's stopped now and so things should bloom pretty much overnight. Off to a conservation area tomorrow to check the flooding. Should be interesting.

nice and sharp, good stuff.

this is beautiful and sharp.

Sure makes for rich color. Nice shots!

Nice nice! no.1 is my favorite like it!

I agree I really like that first one! I actually like it the way it is both because of color contrast and that cool reflection in the right side of the photo

Really nice. I'm with Rob, #1 is awesome.

Thanks all. The first one is in the driveway and that's a reflection of a lodgepole pine in my neighbor's front yard. I thought it came together rather well.
