Sheltering from the Rain (+PiPs)

Sheltering from the Rain (+PiPs)
In a cemetery in Hayling Island, Hampshire during a walk this morning. I was sheltering under a large yew tree and managed to stay almost totally dry!

View large to see the falling rain in the background.

There are another couple of shots in the PiPs. Thanks for looking!

Love the lighting in this one. Being shot from the side shows the leaning of the headstones that you wouldn't see in a front view. Great job.

Das mit dem Regen kommt sehr schön rüber in deinen Hauptbild lieber Keith,aber auch das Licht war da am Friedhof auch sehr schön,wird wahrscheinlich nicht so viel geschaut werden,auf ein paar Gräber,weil die Grabsteine alle so schief drinnen sind,diese Gedenkmale in deinen Pips sind aber wunderschön :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tagesausklang,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you like these images Güni...........the weather wasn't great, so I was lucky to get a few photos that I liked.

It's a very old cemetery, which is why a lot of the gravestones and statues are crooked and damaged. A fascinating place to visit.

Thank you for your nice comments as always............have a lovely evening my friend. Best wishes, Keith.

It was raining heavily, as can be seen in the background. So you were very lucky to find an oak tree to shelter under.

A beautiful series of evocative images, Keith!

A great shot here and very brave of you to get the camera out in the heavy rain too. Love the lighting enough for a ⭐ . well done.

Cheers. Herb

Thank you for your visit and lovely comments Herb........and for the gold star..........very much appreciated.

My Olympus cameras and most of the lenses I use are weatherproof and I don't worry about getting them wet at all.

A wonderful image you made good use of your time under the yew tree, old graveyards are very photogenic places, it's good that H&S haven't had the leaning stones laid down

It's probably just a matter of time before the H&S get involved :-))

Regen und dann so ein Licht! Wirklich sehr gut! - Übrigens gibt es da solche Gegenstände, die sich "Schirm" nennen! *LOL*

Keith Burton club has replied to bonsai59 club
Glad you like it Frank! Thank you so much!

I've heard of umbrellas of course :-))).......but carrying one and using a camera is too much trouble.

I rely on a waterproof coat and a wide brimmed hat. Also, my Olympus cameras and most of the lenses I use are weatherproof and I don't worry about getting them wet at all.

;-) Ehrlich gesagt, ich laufe auch eher nicht gern mit einem Schirm. Wenn es nicht zu sehr regnet setze ich lieber eine Mütze auf. ;-)

Keith Burton club has replied to bonsai59 club
The other reason I nearly always wear a hat is that I have to use hearing aids and I don't want to get them wet..!!

Solche alten Friedhöfe sind so stimmungsvoll und eine Fundgrube für uns Fotografen.
Gut, dass du den Regen im Titel erwähnst, sonst hätte ich ihn vermutlich übersehen. In der Großansicht erkennt man das Zusammenspiel des schönen Lichts und dem Regen.
Auch die beiden PiPs mit den verwitterten Steinen finde ich sehr gut!

We have quite a few really old cemeteries near where I live.........and they're fascinating to walk round.

I'm pleased you like this little collection Wilhelm. Thank you for dropping in and leaving such kind and well thought out comments.
