dire day

I tried to get out of the house to snap some shots today, but it kept raining as soon as I escaped. Of course, I didn't want to risk damaging my fancy new camera, so we kept heading home as soon as the waterworks started. I snapped this shot on my street, a few houses down, just as the rain began to fall. I realized only after shooting this that I had messed with the exposure levels the night before (reading the manual, learning the ropes) & had forgotten to set them back. In any case, I liked the dark, moody sense of foreboding that comes across, and the fact that X looks somewhat anxious just makes the shot.
