Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time
2006-11-13-Fremont-_MG_6908

Tonite, I was walking to my car from the train around 6PM. With daylight savings time, it was now pitch dark. Given there is no parking, I have to walk about 1/2 mile to the overflow parking lot wheeling my briefcase with laptop behind me. I also am feeling pressured because I am taking a photo class and need to turn in (5) images showing repetition. So, I haul out my camera to try for some images (hand-held). Of course, it starts to pour. This is the edge of the parking lot with my car and it had been pouring for a while. I was drenched. So, I took this shot. I had my little 50mm lens opened at f/3.2 and ISO 3200. Given I was using one hand and trying to shield the lens, I ripped off 4 images in a row. This was the sharpest but does not really show the sheets of rain pouring down on me.

One thought on “Daylight Savings Time

  1. i like the rain story. and the rainy glow. sounds like you are a true commuter. i am picturing working girl, with suit and running shoes.
    just kidding. in calgary, there are a TON of walkers on the bike trails around downtown. we all look great, except the sneakers with dress pants. a really hot look.
    love the photos…funny, but in the fall, i wanted to do a series of photos along my walk home. you know, every 200 feet or so, take another photo…all along my 40 min walk. however, i didn’t do it and now it is cold here and i am too lazy as well. maybe i will document the walk from my new house next month. : )
