This photo is intentionally large. I think it's one of the coolest pictures I've ever taken.
A thunderstorm rolled in as the sun was setting, and the light coming down was positively GREEN. I ran upstairs to get my camera, hoping to capture the phenomenon. I came down, opened the screen door and took a picture of the back yard without realizing that my flash was still on. You can see the effect, below. At first, I thought water had gotten onto the lens, but that's not it. What you're seeing is the rain itself, as it falls. I don't think I could have gotten a picture like that again if I tried. The conditions had to be just right.
I especially like the big drop on the right that can be seen through.
