Rain sucks...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

You could always get a rain cover for the camera. I've got a Think Tank Hydrophobia for the 300mm f2.8 and a very cheap Chinese Kata clone for the rest. Haven't had them long and haven't quite got round to going out and trying them out (lots of rain still in the next few days).

They're all good. I think I prefer the last two.

Some nice BW photos Roozy, glad to hear your Nikon is still OK after a dip.

As for the rain, well, we had booked 3 weeks in a caravan park, starting from last Monday (first decent holiday in almost 7 years). Then came a trip to hospital last Sunday and angiogram on Tuesday (1/12), finally home Tuesday night and then it's been monsoon in Coffs ever since. Oh well, the rain is nice when it comes....

You have inpsired me to go and take some photos anyway. I'm not sure how waterproof the 5D is but we'll give it a try.

Rain doesn't suck with images like these! Well done!

I've been meaning to get out and get some rain photos. I especially like #1.

Nice b&w conversions too!

thanks the d700 took a dip i guess about a year ago now. i dropped it in the ocean...yes, salt water...i guess it was underwater for about 5 seconds at the most. thought it was dead but it kept going. i had to take it to nikon about 3 months later cos my aperture lever gor stuck and i couldnt use my zf25, they opened it and then closed it right back up and called me. repair impossible, the whole internals are rusted. it could stop working tomorrow or next week or next year depending on when the rust got to the vital parts. well...its next year and apart from a busted aperture lever she keeps on keeping on. :cheers:

note to members: do not buy used d700 from rooz. :lol:

Didnt the insurance company come to the party with the offer of a new camera, which you are holding off until the D800 arrives?
