Description
It was Saturday late in the morning, and the rain was starting to pour heavily. I rushed to Orchard, excited about the prospect of shooting once again in the rain. But I knew that Saturday mornings were not ideal for street shooting because the people traffic is usually low at this time, much less when it’s raining. But why not just try my luck, right? Well, as luck would have it, I didn’t get any good shots. The rain eventually slowed down, and frustration struck me once again. I figured I’d eat lunch first, then try my luck again.As I returned to Orchard after lunch, the rain was now a drizzle. Most people wasn’t even using their umbrellas… including me. So I thought, I’m walking for one round and I’m calling it a day. Then I saw this girl with an umbrella, walking briskly towards my direction. I went “that’s it!” I backed off quickly because I wanted to shoot her on a certain spot in between the shadows from the trees where I thought the soft light was perfect. I crouched down, waited until she was near enough, and clicked a few times. Right after my first click, she started to walk towards the side. I guess she noticed me. But it was ok, I already got my keeper.. the first click was perfect.

This is perfect with the soft light on the ground! I love it! I tried photographing in the rain once but it was so hard to keep my lens dry. How do you avoid from getting all wet? Are you standing under something?

i love how you can't see her face. as you've caught her in a very vunerable moment (as she certainly wasn't prepared for rain) it makes me feel like i shouldn't be looking at her.

Do this a lot, so it's a familiar scene. Nice shot.

what makes it work so well is that you caught her in the act of walking, not with both feet on the ground. Sounds simple, but it's hard to get even with multi FPS. If she had both feet on the ground it would change the shot completely. Well done.

Wow! I love this shot and I must confess that I have a weak spot for B&W photography. I'm not sure if it's the soft light falling between the trees, or if you applied a vignette, but the way she sort of glows is amazing.
Don't you ever lose your nerve shooting people like this when they know your camera is pointing straight at them?
