Monsoon !

The rain this evening was unbelievable. It was so bad that having decided that there was no way I was going to get out with the camera, I had a sudden urge to get a picture anyway! So I captured this panorama of the mall inWestport in the rain in double quick time. I dont know what people in their cars must have thought as I stood in the rain.I was wearing a rain jacket and because I had no umbrella I had a second rain jacket held over my head and camera. I got soaked from the waist down! but managed to keep the camera dry. Due to the circumstances I had to use a wide apperture to get a shutter speed that I could hold (1/50 second)so there is not great depth of field. I dont think this would win any prizes in a summer photo comp!!
