Rain Rain Go Away! by taffy

Rain Rain Go Away!

We drove down to Indianapolis this afternoon to attend the opening of a friend's play (he's directing Great Gatsby) at the Indiana Repertory Theater. We're right in the middle of downtown, had a great time at dinner and the play, and then my plan was to do night photography in the area. But it was raining by then and Jim was not interested in being a sherpa in the rain. I borrowed an umbrella from the hotel and walked within a few block radius of the hotel. They have such an impressive state capitol, even in the rain so I was glad to have ventured out.
THANK YOU for your favs that put my shot of the 'reflection in the bean' on TT this week. I was thrilled!
Love it

Phenomenal Taffy, the lighting on the building, the reflections on the street and the illuminated rain are spectacular!

Super shot, so glad you went out in the rain. You can see the rain in the top right hand corner. Hope you didn't get too wet. So good that you captured this photo with no cars in the scene. fav.

This looks out of a Batman movie, with a black and white feel to the building, and the ominous sky. Marvellous!
October 3rd, 2015  
Wow Taffy this is gorgeous! Love the mood the rain creates!
October 3rd, 2015

It looks so quiet, where is the traffic and people? Wonderful night shot.
October 3rd, 2015  
The rain does mean great light reflections though. Lovely shot.
October 3rd, 2015  
You are very talented, TaffyR.
October 3rd, 2015  
You make a rainy night look very romantic.

You wouldn't let rain stop you! I like the lighting and the low POV!
October 3rd, 2015  
Fabulous shot...fav
October 3rd, 2015  
Fab night time capture, great definition on the architecture of the building - also very atmospheric, I can almost feel the cold and wet from here!
October 3rd, 2015  
Lovely night reflective capture
October 3rd, 2015  
Wonderful shot.
October 3rd, 2015  
Gorgeous capture. Fav!! πŸ˜ƒ
October 3rd, 2015  
As so often happens, an image that has benefited from the rain, so your acceptance that you might get wet has paid off.
October 3rd, 2015  
This is gorgeous. Fave.
October 3rd, 2015  
Beautifully captured. The rain allows for wonderful reflections. I'm glad you ventured out and shared this with us.
October 3rd, 2015  
Wow Amazing Image - fav
October 3rd, 2015  
Lovely evening capture
October 3rd, 2015  
A great shot of this beautiful building . The rain makes it even more beautiful. I think California will love it.
October 3rd, 2015  
Good to see you figured out something to do. I knew two 365ers who were in the Indy area but I haven't seen either one posting in a while so I couldn't suggest them when I saw your discussion thread. You are never lacking in the ability to find a good shot- as evidenced by this! Great night shot!
October 3rd, 2015  
You always manage to get a great architectural image whatever the weather! The rain had enhanced this shot creating Moody atmosphere and lovely reflections! A huge Fav of course Taffy! Congrats on the TT too! One of my favourite all time shots of yours!
October 3rd, 2015  
Love it!! Very cool shot
October 3rd, 2015  
Awesome on black - you really see the rain and sky as well. Wonderful
October 3rd, 2015  
Wonderful capture.
October 3rd, 2015  
This is just spectacular against black. The rain seems to actually have helped your shot - the reflections are fabulous. You certainly did wonders with a night shot. Fav
October 4th, 2015  
Wow lovely night shot Taffy, the reflections are amazing and everything just glows. Did you drag a tripod out into the rain as well?
October 4th, 2015  
Reflection of lights on wet pavement - something I absolutely love - and captured beautifully with that impressive capitol bldg. FAV of course.
October 4th, 2015  
An amazing photo! A favorite!
October 4th, 2015  
@radiogirl I thought about it, but Jim wouldn't come with me, so I chose the umbrella to carry over the tripod.
October 4th, 2015  
I like the dark tones.
October 4th, 2015  
Beautifully captured
October 4th, 2015  
Excellent image Taffy, love the colours, light, rain everything!
October 4th, 2015  
Fabulous image, great use of light and the wet road adds to the image
October 5th, 2015  
What a cool capture! That rain is adding to the ambience of the nighttime.
October 6th, 2015  
This I just love, I can almost feel the rain on my face.
October 6th, 2015  
This is impressive and probably made more so by the rain as the wet streets reflect the building
October 8th, 2015  
Wow, look at this! I couldn't wait to see what pictures you would get down in Indianapolis and this is so neat!
