I don’t shoot a lot in the rain — my usual excuse being I need to manually focus, and trying to hold an umbrella between one’s shoulder and neck when taking a picture isn’t the most elegant of approaches. It’s not exactly the most ergonomic either.
To be honest though I’ve become something a fair weather photographer, and the issues mentioned above are more than manageable. Something these photos hopefully prove. All of them taken on a recent walk when at times the rain turned out to be much heavier than forecast. They are also results I like, so maybe, just maybe, I’ll be a little less inclined to stay indoors the next time outdoors is a bit inclement.
Oh, and as a side note, for more old vending machines, my latest newsletter contains a whole host of them.

More. Rain. Shots. Please. 🙂
Lee says
Haha, that’s the plan.

Great stuff. The Toshiba rust and the Komatsu driver who forgot where his garage is, twice! Marvelous. Yes, definitely more rain. You can get shoulder umbrellas and ones that fit to the hot shoe. Both of which would be fun to see in use in windy weather 🙂
Lee says
Thanks a lot. Those two were especially nice finds, but I have no plans at all to find shoulder or hot shoes umbrellas!

Wow that last one. You have many many examples of ‘before’ and ‘after’, but this is a spectacular example of ‘during’!
Lee says
Thanks a lot. That scene is quite something, isn’t it? Seen lots of buildings in the process of demolition, but nothing quite like that one.
Sam Milling says
Excellent work as always Lee. The rain also makes the colours that bit more vibrant.
Lee says
Thank you very much. And yeah, the colours really do pop more. Another thing I need to remind myself of when I feel reluctant to head out.
