Stop the Rain

Stop the Rain, originally uploaded by Nashua Telegraph.

Me: Yes, it’s been done before but I’VE never done it. So now that
it’s out of my system I don’t have to worry about shooting it anymore.
Sometime you have to shoot something to say you did it.

The Phone Call: Knowing that it has been done by past photographers I
called my photo editor Don Himsel. We discussed it would be better if
it not run in the paper, although a cool shot, not original enough to
print.

Cutline: Raindrops appear on a car window Wednesday, July 23 in
Nashua. Recent rain and thunder storms have brought flash flooding to
the Nashua region. The rest of the week calls for more rain.

Thanks for looking.
Best,

Cool photo. Not being a photographer, I'd never considered or heard of this effect but it is pretty cool!

corey, you should also post that very cool shot you took of the male athlete of the year, and tell viewers about how you took it...

it's all good, it's okay to take this kind of photo, it's a good/fun/humorous one. and relevant this week/summer. :P notice how someone here's never seen such a pic before ... there's more of 'em out there. :) so it's new to them all. :)

Rain on a car window is a bit of a weather news cliche, sure, but so are some of the greatest pop songs ever (just to cite one obvious example). I don't recall ever seeing such a photo with stop signs reflected in every drop... cool shot even if you did cop the idea elsewhere, and I second the thought. We could do with a wee drought about now.
