You are absolutely right, the pictures on a rainy day could be beautiful for the reflections and for the nice diffused light. As I have said to Jim, here we have not many opportunities to shot rain and if I have the camera ... is the moment. That's really true, the mater produces always magical effects on the pictures. Thanks for looking Cheers Lluis El 27/07/2009, a las 2:22, Ted Grant escribi?: > Lluis showed: > > Subject: [Leica] Raining > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/ > L1003596+_1_.jpg.html > > <http://tinyurl.com/mnr6bc> http://tinyurl.com/mnr6bc <<<<< > > > > Hi Lluis, > > Very interesting because it is raining and that's what makes the > picture > work.
