Rain at Night

Ever since I was a young girl, I've been fascinated by the way stop lights (and other light sources) reflect on asphalt during rainy nights. When I began developing my passion for photography, I soon realized how much I wanted to capture this with a camera. I had never actually done it until this past week. It had been a long day with a ton of activity and I was tired, but I realized that I needed to sacrifice a little sleep to get out there and make my dream of so many years a reality. I'm sure I'll do it again to create a different effect, but here are some of my favorites from this trip.

Thanks to my husband for his willingness to help with holding the umbrella in freezing temperatures.

Awesome shots Nikki. I love the effects and patterns
the neon makes on the asphalt. My favorite is
the first image. Night photography just happens to
be my passion. I wish I could find the time to
go out and shoot. What were your camera settings?
Hey Brian, You make a great photo assistant :).
