It is bloody good, innit. Spose if it was on the beeb website it was probably from PA, or AP or similar. Difficult to run a search for images though.

On tuesday I cycled back from Canary Wharf to Brixton. ABout a mile into my journey, I got a puncture. What a day to pick! I walked about 2 miles towards Tower Bridge with my useless bike until a taxi finally picked me up. Finally got back to Brixton to see the hail on the grass rapidly evaporating and steam rising from the ground. It was like a scene from a Stephen King novel. The guys in the Ritzy were chucking buckets of water off the balcany as I passed.
Completely freaky.

Blimey. That was some rainstorm just then! Anywhere flooded?

Any tips on how to take photos of rain? My photos of the rain look crappy

Flash will probably light up the nearby drops
Fast shutter speed

Lots of tube stations. Just got kicked out of kilburn tube and the friend i was due to meet cancelled because all the tubes down her way (tooting) are under water

it's still pissing it down here - ankle deep on kilburn high rd

 

[girasol]

Tried fast shutter speed, and also flash - not on that shot, but it just looks like it's not raining and it was pouring

this is slightly better I suppose, but still not quite there:

Difficult subject to capture on 'film'...

It is a bugger to capture. I whupped the ISO speed up to 1600 to try and freeze some of the 'action.'

 

[girasol]

The sky is blue now (well, bits of it...)

It might even be welly weather at Brockwell park at this rate.

Like a spooky fog!

 

[gaijingirl]

The sun is peeking out over Brocky!!

I found this on It's Raining (in Bangalore) - flickr , I was searching for 'rain' photos and that's probably one of the best I've seen in there.
