Drenched by judithg

Drenched

Apologies for another green shot and the same location as yesterday. It's been a lovely morning and pleasant afternoon but during the lunch hour I arranged to meet @jannaellen for a photo shoot at Midsummer Fair and as I was heading for our rendez vous point on Jesus Green we received the entire spring's rain in about an hour. I was so wet my trousers were falling down under the weight of water!! And Monty is still damp bless him. I couldn't take many shots as my camera was getting soaked even under a tree. There were very few people on the move - the fuzziness is rain on the lens. I'm off out again tonight so apologies if I'm behind commenting.
love this rainy capture! awesome composition

I love the composition & fuzziness of this shot & I think it is better for the rain ! A bit like a Monet painting Judith !

Oh poor you - I guess my shelter was a bit more stable. I was debating with myself if I should just fight on through the rain so that the drenching would have at least had the advantage of seeing you but it just kept pouring so much I didn't dare riding my bike. So sorry our meetup didn't work :(. Hope you're dry again now! Your picture really captures the atmosphere of the downpour, the blurriness just adds to it!

@jannaellen I was hoping you wouldn't because the tree wasn't working at all well and town seemed like a much better bet!!

Oh dear sounds like torrential rain! Lovely wet feel to the pic though so I hope the soggy legs and Monty were worth it x

nice shot - love the composition of this. Fuzziness sums up the rain - we got caught out in a big field as we were about to start our sheepherding exercise! and what was worse the sheep didn't want to get wet and were trying to hide!

I love the composition and sense of movement. I think the fuzziness gives it a bit more life/animation somehow.

It seems your timing was unlucky! Too bad your 365 meet fell into the water (that's a Dutch saying for something that gets cancelled due to circumstances - we get a lot of rain too...). Your shot is great though, you've really captured the rainy conditions which is quite hard to do.

Bad luck with the meet up.... Love your composition here though!
