Every one's wish would be to have everyday warm and sunny. In Pa. that just isn't going to happen and mid April always has some nasty meteorological surprises that unfortunately sometimes pops up on a weekend. We could sit in the house and complain about it or get out and try to enjoy it. This particular day the rain rewarded us with some fantastic photo opportunities on an otherwise slow and lazy backwoods stream. Unfortunately we weren't fully prepared for the all day downpour in that we had no rainsuits. We did however have two large black garbage bags and after a snip here and there we pulled them down over our heads and stuck our arms thru and we were good to go.
As we exited the Rubicon we also realized that the tripod was in the truck and not in the Rubicon. This would add to the challenge with a handheld time exposure. After picking our way along a treacherous steep side hill we finally arrived at the perfect spot. With Jeanne holding the umbrella just perfectly the camera would remain dry and I would have a gentle trickle running off the umbrella into my left ear. I think she did that on purpose but this is the discomfort one must endure for the perfect shot. All in all I was pleased with the image shot at 1/5 of a second while handheld and a stream flowing thru my left ear. Hope you like it too.
A job well done! Very nice Image, despite what you had to endure. Thanks for sharing.
