We have had lots of rain in Houston. I thought I'd take the opportunity to catch some drops falling in the pool. The instant I finished setting up the rain stopped... because that's how it goes sometimes. Instead I found the rose from a nearby bush floating and caught this.

I took this photo in my pool during the flooding that was happening in Houston TX. I was bummed out because the rain had kept me from going another shoot. I figured I would just make the best of it and see what I could find that might look interesting nearby.Time
It was actually mid day. The dark clouds softened the light just right and made the capture come out nicely.Lighting
A stormy, cloudy day worked like a giant softbox on what normally would have been a brutal mid day Texas sun.Equipment
I shot this with a Nikon D750 and a Nikon 70-200 F2.8Inspiration
I wanted to show myself and others that you don't have to venture far from home to get an interesting shot.Editing
I used Lightroom CC to crop and pull so detail out of the water.In my camera bag
Nikon D750, 70-200, 24-70, and 10-24.Feedback
Expect to get wet and keep rain gear for you and your equipment handy.
