Rain on my Window

I wasn't really ready to share a blog on rain just yet. I wanted to wait and get more shots but I had a hard time getting any shots that I felt like sharing this week. So I hope to have another post with rain as the main subject, especially since I love a good rainfall and also we have begun the monsoon season. It normally rains hard and more often for most of November, December and January, sometimes February. The air is much cleaner now as well and that is so nice!

We have a great view from our condo on the 35th floor. I love watching the rain from home. 

Manual focus to get the camera to focus on the raindrops instead of anything else. 

Looking down at traffic but focused on the rain drops on the window.

I like this, you can almost see the rain drops falling. I used a slower-ish shutter speed setting for this effect. 

We are going to Penang, Malaysia for the weekend so I am really hoping to get great photos there. 

Happy Friday!!!

Rainy Days

I love rain. I love to watch the clouds gather and become dark. It is so interesting to me, so exciting. We have plenty of rain in Singapore, almost everyday. When we realized we were moving here we read on line there are two seasons in Singapore, hot and wet and hot and wetter. That is the truth. The heat is not so great but the rain is so nice. I hope to add to this collection. It is difficult to take photos of the rain. I don't want to get my lenses or cameras wet, afraid it will damage something. Bought a camera storm jacket, hoping that will help. Many times the rain doesn't show up in the photograph at all. If there are any photographers out there with some rain experience, please feel free to message me some tips!

A nice glow from the headlights in the afternoon rain.

Sharing an umbrella with a friend.

I do hope to add to this collection more interesting rain photos. I'd love to catch a few kids playing the rain, maybe someone caught without an umbrella or a group of people waiting under an awning for the rain to clear.

Happy Friday!!!
