i'm only happy when it rains... by northy

i'm only happy when it rains...

in the future, the sun will be radioactive and it will be too dangerous to go outside... except when it rains...

this is an experiment gone wrong... so i decided to edit into submission... i think i used lightroom, nik colour efex, topaz restyle and photoshop... but don't hold me to that...

for the umbrella theme... and for five plus two - futuristic...

Success! Editing wins again. Like it a lot for the challenge(s) and as an image.

lovely orange glow.

those three figures out the window lend an ominous air. your craptastic is fantastic lol. I think the radiation comes down in the rain, at least that is what I've read about the Fukushima fallout.

Being your get pushed partner has had me tearing my hair out trying to dream up a challenge to offer you! Sooo I've come up with the following: either a white on white or a high key black and white. I hope one of those tickles your fancy!

i guess we are in the future? (i thought the sun, and all organic life, is radioactive. i dunno, biology was well over a decade ago.) i like the theme and ambiguous outside forms here. it is as evocative as youd have hoped, i think. the sacrifice of genuine detail and sharpness is sometimes a bit distracting, but the quasi-claustrophobic blur effect helps contextualize those losses positively.

Whenever I tried to develop colour film I got something like this! :-)

I hate to tell you this, but there will be acid rain falling down on our heads, so it will never be safe to go out! On a positive note, this is a fantastic image, whatever you did to it!
