Choice for magazine cover

Street awash with rain

Sudden heavy rain shower, summer evening
in Holborn, London as commuters are travelling home
Rain is centre stage, presence of umbrellas
confirms it is raining, hazy appearance of the scene



Others in the series

The flight from rain

Part of the same series of images as the previous one
Shot with a compact camera
Use of fill-in flash

The energy of rain

Rain drops hitting roof of a car
Shot with telephoto lens
Converted to B&W and heavily sharpened
Cropped into a panoramic image
