Tips: Things I look for after a good rain

Written last fall but never posted until now:
While I was on my retreat, we had a downpour.  As I took a friend around to shoot, he asked me what to look for.  I shared with him that after a good rain, it's great to shoot reflections in water, to shoot landscape because the colors are brighter, and leaves are clean.  I also shared how I like it before the storm too because you have great dramatic skies.  I love converting them to black and whites.

I like the reflection of things after a good rain.

I love the contrast in the sky!
