i like this photo muchly, but i would have liked it to be a much closer capture of the flower,, i can see some very small beads on the petals , i dont know what they are but if i could see them captured up close it would have been awesome. make sense?

I've got this idea but its going to be so hard to capture.... first its needs to be pissing down with rain... then you need a flat road...no up or down hill... not convex... not concave just perfectly flat... then it needs to be night time with cars driving through the rain... i want to capture those rain drops as they hit the road at different light strengths from the cars lights... different type of lights too... halogen... old bulbs... LED etc... i'd like to capture the spray from a wheel too... maybe a bicycle?

would be hard capturing the rain like that because it would perhaps involve sitting in a bus shelter on a rainy evening... could be worth it though!

has anyone noticed its not a sunflower.. .

A tripod, and a remote trigger will be needed, also an umbrella, and a a not so windy night... A long you can either use a long exposure to capture a blur, or with a decent lens, shoot at the lowest available aperture, with a high ISO and a reasonable shutter speed...

Personally, I'd go with a long exposure on a tripod, would look epic !

awesome idea that for your next ridge, god i wish i had the monies for a decent camera
