6th April - It's raining!!

Topic of the Day - Showers/Umbrella 96/365

It isn't actually raining today so I had to create my own rain!!

(Best looked at on black if you have time.)

[Catherine Pace]

typical - where's the weather when you need it! great on black!

[Kathy A]

What a cool umbrella and I love the focus on those drops

[Pam Knowler]

@gozoinklings @kjarn Thanks Catherine and Kathy I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!! I found this harder than I had anticipated. I couldn't control my hose and the water just didn't look like rain!! After nearly 100 shots i gave up and concentrated on the droplets. Its funny how when you have an idea in mind it sometimes will just not work!!

[Darren Juden]

Nice job here Pam :)

[👑 AnaZad]

Love that umbrella and it's a great shot.

[Katia]

Definitely looks best viewed large. Lovely bokeh in the background and I like the green tone in the front water drop as well :o)

[Colleen]

Cool large, well captured!

[Rob Wareham]

Great colours. Very realistic rain substitute too.

[Ariel]

Beautifully done.

[Lena]

Very well done Pam!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Lovely shot Pam. For once we have sunshine and blue skies (and where am I? sat at the computer!)

[Pam Knowler]

@cameraholic @steampowered Thanks Lena and Paul!! After all the bad weather we have been having you think we could have had a little shower today!! LOL!! What a shame Paul it really is lovely out - even the wind has dropped a bit. Is this the beginning of Spring?

[Phillip Chilton]

Great this Pam, love the little twinkle of the raindrop

[Sheila G]

Great 'rain' drops!

[Sarah Munnings]

Pam, this is great...I've been creating artificial rain today too and you are right, it is really hard!

[Pam Knowler]

@phillchilton @sheilag @pixiemac Many thanks Phill, Sheila and Sarah I really appreciate your comments!!

[Judith Johnson]

[Pam Knowler]

@busylady thanks Judith!

[Yvonne]

Fabulous, Pam. Love those "RAIN DROPS" ; )

[Pam Knowler]

@yonnie many thanks Yvonne I really appreciate your comments!

[Justine Wood]

Great shot Pam!! Typical isn't it that on the warmest day of the year so far we are getting the umbrellas out!!

[Pam Knowler]

@justine_x Thanks Justine!! I could hear my next door neighbours in the garden and I heard him say to his wife - "What is she doing now?" They think I am obsessed with my photography and do not understand!! Obviously not photographers!!

[Justine Wood]

@pamknowler Heehee...!!! :-)

[Elaine]

This is great and I bet you are really glad of sunshine!

[Al Bailey]

very nice .... especially when viewed large :)

[Danielle]

So creative - love it!

[Pam Knowler]

@elaine55 @willowdragon @danitech Many thanks Elaine, Al and Danielle!!

[Mags ッ]

Excellent - must try this!

[Pam Knowler]

@boogie Thanks Mags!! My problem was I couldn't control the water - it was either gushing or coming out in a trickle. I will revisit this and have another go at making rain i think!!
