Everytime it rains and I'm at work I go over to the window and look out hoping to see a person walking by with an umbrella. The building reflects so beautifully in the wetness on top of the blacktop that I know the right situation will make a stunning photograph. It hasn't happened yet. I think it needs to be a bright umbrella and the sun has to be out as it was when I made this picture. I also learned that if the sun is out I'll need to make the picture with my dslr and not my iphone because the auto exposure just didn't hold the highlights and that I know I can fix with my dslr....but there is a picture to be had here for sure--patience! I'll get it eventually. I don't always hope for rain, but I'll admit-- I want to make this picture so I hope it rains a lot this summer! And I hope people with bright umbrellas are out walking in it and cutting through parking lots and alleys!!!! Photograph by Richard Sayer.
This was made with a different lens choice on the iphone and hipstamatic--if created the green vignette which helped hold the highlights but I'm not as keen on the color.
