It was a great day for making rain pictures although I went out with the intention of making 1 picture - Utility pole. A picture for the making of which I had been waiting for rain.
Waiting for particular conditions or light is not my normal picturing MO. As most of you know, my usual picturing making is accomplished by having a camera(s) with me at all times in order to picture whatever happens to come my way / catch my eye. Other than assignment oriented picture making, which requires making pictures of specific referents, just being prepared to make a picture of whatever catches my eye and tweaks my sensibilities is the order of any given day.
Yesterday's specific referent / conditions picture making outing was different in its intent but similar in results to my usual picturing habits. That is, between here and my referent objective (and there about), quite a number of picture making possibilities where evident. So, as can be seen above, I made a bunch of pictures.
Interesting enough, I didn't get the exact picture I set out to make. While I did make a Utility pole picture, it is not the picture I had 'pre-visualized' - That picture, the one wanted to make, would have required a much heavier rainfall. I don't know why, but I see, in my minds eye, that scene in a very heavy downpour with rain very much in evidence.
The heavy downpour did eventually appear but much later in the day. Unfortunately, picture making wise, as I was preparing to head out to the same scene again, the wife showed up with a takeout Chinese dinner. So, rather than fiddling with my camera(s), I fiddled with chopsticks instead.
Maybe I'll have better luck next time - rain wise, not dinner wise.

Very nice set today. Waiting for the rains to start here in Northern CA. Fall is in the air for sure.
