Rain at Last

ozdean · Nov 9, 2006

Our water storages have got to critical levels as you can see from the full level some 10m higher. We were on the lake fishing for bass when a storm built up and the rain came down, it was a welcome sight to see. Lucky I had the camera with me, no fish shots though! Praying for more rain.

All taken with DA50-200

Yes it is a welcome sight.

Now all the country needs is a good 1-2 metres of rain over the next couple of months. Got a snowball's chance of that happening though

This one is the stand out best of the bunch IMO. Nicely done.

One question though. Why are the files so large for 800x600 images? 550-750+kB per image seems like overkill to me.

Very good photos. I especially like #4. Your drought makes our dry spell look insignificant. I hope you get the much needed rain very soon.

Hi Dave & Richard, I agree with 4, when the sun lit up the far bank with the storm behind it I just knew it was time I held my breath & squeezed, sometimes you just know you've caught it.

Dave not sure on file size, send @ 800 to photobucket and this is what happens. Thanks for comments.
Regards Dean

4 is my favourtite. Pretty savage looking storm, the peli's seemed to be enjoying it. Hope your camera didn't get to wet!

Hi Ben, Pelis were loving it, waterproofed the DL2, sprayed with WD40
LOL

Cideaway, agree with 4, I'm might have to start looking for my Special K in a Kellogs Pack.

I'm in Brisbane southside, and the storms seemed to split and go either side of my area.

Maybe a good thing, though, from what I've heard.

Going to be a long summer...

Surreal light in 1, 2 and 4. Waiting for a thunderstorm here in Southern California (also known as a drizzle in most other parts of the world.)

Hi Paul, fishing on Cresbrook Dam TBA casing bass on lures, not a good day though - 0.
Nix, I agree and glad you like 1 too, I thought it wasn't bad.

Glad that you finally had some rain and got some really nice photos. I agree, number four is outstanding. So who cares that the bass were not biting, they will be there next time.

BTW, must try this WD 40 thing next time I take my K100D out in the rain.

Take care,

I'm sure it was a great relief. May we all get much more.

No 4 has a very appealing painterly feel to it. Very nice.
