Random Exhibition: #rainwalk
So last night I went for my evening walk and I essentially got caught in the rain. That is when something remarkable happened, I decided just to stay out there. And the reason I did so was because the sunset was so remarkable at the time, I thought I could make something out of this rare opportunity. So I carried on through my neighbourhood and towards our beautiful new stadium, all the while getting soaked. SOAKED.
But by the time I got home, I knew I had taken a couple of special photos. So I decided to do a Random Exhibition on Instagram, posting a new photo from my #rainwalk every half an hour until 11:30pm last night. I thought it was a fun way to present something like this, and I hope to do this same idea and concept soon. I thought perhaps I would create this post on my website to share a little insight on the process of going from a walk in the rain, to showing the photos online.

All of these photos were shot on an iPhone 6 and edited on the phone itself in the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app. With the exception of the first one, they were all shot as panorama’s.
This photo was taken just as I got hit by the first drops of rain. I’ve always found this building interesting but had never taken a picture of it. In hindsight, I would have taken this differently but I am still pleased with the result, and it was this photo that inspired me to continue in the pouring rain:
Continuing onward as it got wetter out, I looked back at the sunset which I was walking away from for the first time, which is when I went live on facebook to show everyone the beauty I was seeing. That wasn’t enough though, so I took another picture nearby:

Still not satisfied, I realized how close I now was to Tim Horton’s Stadium and realized this could be a rare and beautiful photo opportunity. The sun was setting fast and at this point I actually started to run towards my next stop, and thankfully, I grabbed these two photos:

I hope you enjoyed these photos, and I hope you don’t mind if I do this little random exhibition thing again in the future!
