Not always sunny in San Diego! by orangecrush

Not always sunny in San Diego!

Its been a little stormy here lately! Yesterday we had 10 ft waves so I packed up my gear (including my plastic bag and rubber band, Thanks guys!) and headed to the ocean! I had a hard time getting at sea level with the waves plashing everywhere so I took some shots from higher ground! I couldn't capture the size of these things but maybe next time!
Love the way you captured the driving rain. Brave soul for getting out in this!

Nice pic! I love that the rain doesn't take over the picture.
March 20th, 2012  
You've captured the rain brilliantly. I have the theme of Gilligan's Island going through my head at the moment, don't know why!! Fav.
March 20th, 2012  
Well done Jerry - you really captured the weather well - fave!

Beautiful shot! I haven't followed you long, and didn't realize you're in San Diego. My brother lived there for a year so I got the tour. What a gorgeous place. I now understand why people are willing to risk falling off the edge of the country to live in California! ;)
March 20th, 2012  
Gorgeous shot, Jerry! You've outdone yourself! Fav!
March 20th, 2012  
This is so fantastic! Love the falling rain! This type of rain shot is in my bucket list for the mountains around here! Fav!

Great capture! haven't been game enough to shoot in the rain yet.
March 20th, 2012  
Love this!!!
March 20th, 2012  
I was going to ask what you did to prepare for rain, in Newfoundland it rains lightly often, so you wrap the bag around your camera?
March 20th, 2012  
@missvicki I got a lot of good tips from my last post! Get a plastic bag and put a hole in it large enough to put the end of the lens through. secure it with a rubber band and viola!
March 20th, 2012  
this is so awesome Fav!!
March 20th, 2012  
oh wow! this is great!

That rain was wicked yesterday! You really captured it well Jerry! The plastic bag & rubber band worked really well!
March 20th, 2012  
@lorihiro Lol! Thanks, Lori! The salty air was really blowing and not thinking I changed my lens out there! I hope I don't have a salt collection on my sensor now! :o)
March 20th, 2012
