251:365 It Never Rains, But It Pours

11.07.2009

For FGR and proverbs.

Whoever made up this proverb obviously didn't live in Britain. I really wanted to do a rain shot outside but it has just been constant drizzle which just makes you a bit damp. So after wandering about hoping for a downpour for an hour, I came home to try and do a shot in the shower. Warm water steamed up the lens... cold water made me pull faces. So in the end I used this texture from swimmingintheether.

I'm not happy with it, but I'm too cold to be bothered now!

Please don't pimp out your photo/photostream/product in my comments. First instance I'll delete, second and I'll just block you. It's a sad state of affairs that I even have to say this!
