Out ‘n’ about in Stockport in the rain

A very dreary gray and miserable day again. Am I ever going to get my calendar update finished?? Sure ain’t gonna get too many money shots in this weather!

Above was shot at F5 at 1/400 sec at ISO800. I shot at this high ISO in order to get the high shutter speed to capture the rain drops falling. It’s raining on such a regular basis that I’m seriously toying with getting a rain cover. A bit of investigation required first. I’ve seen the AquaTech’s Sport Shield Rain Cover highly recommended on several blogs, but its about £150! Though I think I’d really quite like to try before I buy. I can feel a trip to Calumet coming on….

Off topic, I stumbled across the PicLens add-on for Firefox this morning. Ooooh! What a cracker. It really is a very cool tool and probably one of the best add-ons I’ve seen for a browser to date. Check it out here.
