Friday Five

[raspberrysweettea]

I keep thinking to myself that I want to do these every week, and then forget again until I see matsushima post the next week XD

1. What type of mood are you generally in on a rainy day?

Happy! I love the glowy light you get on a gloomy overcast day. It's my favorite light to take pictures in, especially of brightly colored things. When I lived in Las Vegas, it happened rarely enough that I would call in sick on rainy days just so I could enjoy it. The smell of rain in the desert is one of my favorite smells ever!

2. What are your favorite things to do when the weather is gloomy?

Be outside, if it's not too windy. Take pictures. Curl up under a blanket and snuggle the dog if I'm inside.

3. Have you ever been kissed in the rain?

Yeah but like, not in the sweep you off your feet in a stereotypically romantic way.

4. After the rain stops, do you continue what you were doing, or do you run outside to do something else?

Usually just continue whatever I was doing. Although we do enjoy watching Sophie outside when there are puddles. She has plenty of water available inside, but she has to sample all the puddles, and prefers her outdoor water bowl.

5. What is your favorite drink/food to have when it's raining outside?

I don't really have any preferences other than whatever my fixation food is at the time lol.

1. You've made me realise I take diffuse light completely for granted and rarely have to think about extreme contrast or shadowed colours in photos. Interesting.

Happy to help 😛

I usually like to take photos in bright sunlight (especially golden hour light) so it hadn't occurred to me to take advantage of the diffuse light on an overcast day… I'm definitely going to try it!

I love the smell of rain too! I love steaming hot soups and stews when it's raining, preferably spicy ones.
