More Rainy Day Photography

I love rainy day photography. As I explained earlier, the lack of shadows and the fine mist help mute the contrasts while at the same time making each individual color stand out. Harsh sun does just the opposite, washing all the colors together into one nearly white glare. These pictures were taken this afternoon just down the road from where we live. They are shot as Raw files and opened in Adobe Bridge, where I could increase the blacks, play with the fill light and increase the vibrance. In Photoshop I played with the curves a bit in the tree trunk picture.
