Fotomiguel Posted September 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) It happened yesterday. I was off and I went to Palma to try some street shots. I park a bit away from the center and started to walk to the center with my wife. Heavy rain started and my wife got really unhappy, nervous and hysterical. I was getting happy. I love rain. My wife disapeard in a big shopping center looking for shoes, then she calmed down. I went shooting while she shopping. The rain was really strong. I had my gore-tex jacket and boots and my self made M8 raincap. Light was nice and people nicer. I took just about 15 shots in 20 minutes. I could risk a bit more my M8 than normal thinking about my new M9. But no problem my raincap is great. I got wet but not my m8. Now when I'm waiting for my new M9, I'm enjoying more than ever my M8. I really love it and having lost the fear of damage it, we share feelings more.

wstotler Posted September 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2009 Love that first shot--great moment. Braver than me to be shooting in the pouring rain, rain cap or no. I'd chance it with the M6 (maybe). Thanks for sharing. Is there a single reported case on the forum of a shorted-out M8 due to water leaking in while shooting in the rain? Thanks, Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dNorm Posted September 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2009 These are excellent shots, this one being my favorite. If you don't mind me asking, which lens and are you using a IR/UV filter on it? Cheers. -Norm [attach]162636[/attach] [attach]162637[/attach] [attach]162638[/attach] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted September 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2009 Marvelous series, Great colors, composition, clarity and action. The first picture is a classic IMO. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmk60 Posted September 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2009 Amazing depth and clarity. Do you still want a M9? Great shots! m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted September 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) #1 for me too. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted September 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 17, 2009 I wonder what you're going to achieve with an M9 These captures are really terrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted September 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 17, 2009 Super series, very well taken end presented. Did you have to squeeze your M8 after that?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realphotos Posted September 17, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 17, 2009 This is a wonderful group of pictures. I think the credit sits with a very good photographer a very good camera and lenses and great process in developing and delivering them to the net. Well done. I am very curious which lens and your process that brought them to the screen. I have already read an important forum comment today which sadly did not have pictures to offer because he said they would not display well enough. Your photos are displayed very beautifully. Your an example for all of us how to do it. I encourage you to spill the recipe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotomiguel Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for the nice replies! All pictures taken with the M8 and the 50mm cron with IR/UV filter on and wide apertures. Processed in Capture one. More contrast and less saturation. I'm really happy with my invention. The m8 didn't get wet.

JE Posted September 17, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 17, 2009 Nice invention! That first one is a standout. It would lokk great in black and white. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted September 17, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 17, 2009 Nice series. The only thing missing is this: Looks like your M9 is going to be staying home a lot :-) CHEERS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spo Posted September 17, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 17, 2009 Love them all, pleased to see nice places get rain too, it's no big deal for us in Scotland:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted September 17, 2009 Share #15 Posted September 17, 2009 First post, number three and four are my favourites. Number three for the contrast between sharp raindrops on the umbrella and out-of-focus background. Number four for the almost three-dimensional representation of rain Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
