Just about everything during my attempts yesterday....

When your roles include being the model, the photographer, the lighting man, the set arranger, and the guy trying to get the manual focus right while simultaneously trying to be in front of the camera.... etc... . the range of potential screw-ups is almost infinite. And I found most of them too.

Naturally, there were plenty of out of focus shots, unusable expressions, light in the wrong place, missing the target, and even a flat battery... so the vocabulary got a good workout...


Here's a couple of attempts at "Like silent raindrops fell"

One is two magpies on our front verandah (probably discussing their chances against the Swans in the wet....). But it's a shot from the archives and not this month....

The other one was taken two days ago when the rain came down so hard that it seemed almost personal in its anger.... But not exactly "silent"!

Cheers,

Chris
