Through a window darkly …
Here in the “sunny South of the United States” we don’t get much winter. Yesterday, however, a bit came through. It was mostly rain, mixed with sleet, and an occasional snowflake.
Here is a lonesome parking lot, seen through a wet window. The precipitation was falling with just a little bit of wind. You can see the streaks. The “bokeh” is produced by the raindrops on the window.
Two photos here taken with my iPhone. One at 1/11 second, the other 1/4 second. I did do a bit of touching up, but these are pretty much as both I and the camera saw our dark and dreary evening.


And here a crop, my rendition of “Winter in the South”.

I think they rake, so you can sit under, in the shade, when it’s too sunny.

Most of my pictures are taken through windows because if I go outside, the birds fly away. As long as the sun isn’t shining in my face, the pictures usually come out pretty clear.

A fine way to do bird photography. I think you can buy rubber lens shades that exclude reflections and make photographing through windows effortless.

Thank you, MG. The drops on the window first annoyed me, then I realized that they made the picture. Luck!
