Exercise: Rain

"Imagine a magazine cover on one subject: rain. You have the entire cover space to work in, and you should produce a single, strong, attractive photograph that leaves no one in any doubt about the subject."

I have been waiting a while to shoot this project. I had tried to complete it a while ago but it was so nice and sunny it would of meant 'faking' rain with something like a watering can, or being a bit more adventurous. I wanted to produce something more genuine. I decided to take advantage of the awful weather we have been having and go out into the garden the next time it rained (although this has been pretty continuous!) I tried photographing some flowers being showered with rain but the images were not coming out as clear as I had hoped. While looking for inspiration I looked down at the ground and saw this maple leaf with droplets of rain on it. I actually really like it and it makes me immediately think of rain.
