When weather shows it's extremes this storm surge barrier is created to automatically close to stop high tides from flooding the Dutch lands. During a yearly test run of one of the largest moving structures on earth I visited and offcourse took some pictures!
Hotels around the world,, with the pandemic ravaging, many hotels are not able to sustain, that is extremely sad, especially for the ones who are employed in the hotel industry 😔.
When I shot this, I assumed that it was a Dandelion, but now I'm not so sure. Apparently there are quite a few plants that look just like a Dandy. I wish I had looked closer at the leaves, to help with the ID, but I was more concerned with just getting it in focus.
When I'm on the road and it's a rain day, I don't take the day off. I really can't. But I also don't shoot as much.
Of course, it depends upon the rain. If it's a light right that won't soak me through, I'll generally shoot, even 4x5. I have to take some precautions, of course. Film holders have to be guarded against the rain rather than the sun (though it's basically the same idea). Equipment is kept covered like I should be doing normally.
When shooting, the camera is completely covered by the dark cloth, which is something I don't typically do. When it comes time to actually take the photo, I still keep the rear of the camera/film holder covered. I tend to do this when it's sunny as well, mostly to avoid lightleaks.
I don't shoot with any camera that has a battery or (much) electronic stuff. This means that I don't really have to worry about water shorting something out.
Generally, if a lens or camera gets a little wet, it will dry. I don't want to submerge anything, but I do want to take the photo.
That was the case with this photo. It was pouring, probably more than any point in the trip. I was driving, saw this scene, pulled over, and waited a second to see how much it was really raining.
It was raining a lot. I was going to get pretty soaked. That was fine because it was hot and my AC had given up on me hundreds of miles back.
I got out, grabbed the RB67, changed backs to the fastest film I had loaded (Foma 100 - haha), stood in the rain for a few seconds while composing the shot. I guessed on the settings (probably wide open at f/4.5 and maybe 1/60sec. Maybe 1/30. And shot.
It's hard to see it in the smaller versions of the photo, but the falling rain is actually visible on the film.
This isn't a tutorial. If you don't want to shoot in whatever weather conditions (or just don't want to shoot at all), you do you. If it makes you uncomfortable, then don't take the shot.
But for me, I'm fine with it. I wouldn't have done a photowalk in this kind of rain, but I probably wouldn't do a photowalk when it's sunny, either.

with so much rain, these little puffs look like drowned cats now... and most have fallen off...
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

They came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and falling down on their faces they gave him worship: and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices." Matthew 2:10 & 11
Seems appropriate so close to Epiphany.

Missouri Botanical Gardens, St. Louis. Colors are just starting to change in the area. The photography club met at the botantical gardens to see the color.
When walking around Neist point lighthouse it suddenly started to rain and saw this rainbow behind me and had to take a picture
When I've got to the field it was still a bit dull, so for the first hour things weren't so interesting, but I had the time to setup my gear. And then in around 10 minutes, just as the sun set, all the magic happened. It was gold at the begining, then it went to this gorgeous purple gold, then full gold again:
When I visit cities like Madrid, Tenerife, Shanghai, Miami, Naples, or right here in Barcelona, and I have my camera in hand, I can't resist taking photos like this one, where what triggered me to take it was the simple fact that it was a perfect outfit to tour Madrid. When I saw that blouse and that hat, my mind said, what style this girl has, and without further ado I capture her, always with the most sincere respect.
When we went for our annual retreat last year, I didn't realize until we got to the Retreat House that I forgot to bring an extra battery or a battery charger with me. By the end of the first day, my battery was dead. I didn't have a choice but to use my phone!
Wishing you all a HAPPY, PEACEFUL and a BLESSED New Week!
