Rain, 2 a.m.

Woke up in the middle of the night, and glanced out
my window to see the rain falling gently on the street
below. Normal person would have moved on, but I
instantly saw the possibilities for a PaD. Got out the
camera, fired off six shots with two different lenses
and settled on this one. Went to the computer, uploaded,
did almost no post processing, and sent it to pbase.

Now it's back to bed. Ah, we're a strange lot, we PaD-ers!

Very nice night shot.

Woke up in the middle of the night?? Heck, I am still up at this time. Nice capture of the mood.

I think you were just worried about getting your PaD today.... this one is cool-looks like someone is making a rain angel in the puddle. Hope you slept well afterwards.

Robin Reid		12-Feb-2005 01:43
I like your tone Gary.

Good moody shot of the wet streets.

I suppose that is when you can say " It was worth it to have a sleepless night". Wonderful image.

You've defined this group pretty well there, Gary. I love this shot. Such a perfect, rainy, lonely street scene taken from the warmth and safety of a house.

Nice image, and I`m with you, normal people wouldn`t understand why you are waking up in the middle of the night with some weather wich is more inviting to keep sleeping, but we know it!! Is like when I saw that car on fire and I aproached to get some shoots, my wife didn`t understand that risk, I gues neither I did!!!! :-o

Beautiful rainy night...Toni

Wish I could do that good at 2am!

Herb		11-Feb-2005 14:09
The early bird,no that's to early whatever... Cool shot

Hey, this is a nice image. I like the mood. Weirdness aside, I think we are most creative when we first wake. Good job, Gary.

Nice shot. If you look carefully at the puddle, there seems to be an outline of a person with arms strecthed, one leg straight and the other bent.

Gary Blanchette		11-Feb-2005 12:00
Weird lot indeed, cause now it's 4:00am and I am up deciding what to shoot...

Argishti Khachik		11-Feb-2005 11:57
very nice night shot, Gary. You are a very serious PADer! Cheers

You know until now I would have argued that I'm not abnormal, just obsessed. But now you mention it...ah well Gary, at least your not alone & what a cracker of a shot !!

>Normal person would have moved on, but I instantly saw the possibilities for a PaD.< Thank goodness you're abnormal, Gary! ;-)
