Went to JFK earlier this afternoon because I wanted to enhance my skill with shooting in the elements (in this case rain). Unfortunately from what I can see that it's that same a shooting in the snow. Most of the images were out of focus because as I believe the camera was focusing on the rain drops (I guess manual focus is the way to go). Here are just a few keepers (although they're not that great). Any tips or suggestions are welcomed.

As soon as I hit the field the skys opened up, not much shooting opportunities unless I wanted to shoot through the windows of my vehicle.

nice shots! today would have been a great day to shoot out at planeview...perhaps score some water spray shots during the reversing. Awesome shots though Mark, I was thinking about heading out today...I'm wishing I had!

Great stuff Mark... I wanted to go out there for this:

1870762

but got stuck at home with chores :-( Out of ALL THE DAYS they decide to fly her in, it had to be today LOL. Not sure if it actually made it or not but ACARS said so...

As I always say, some of the specials always seem to come in on bad weather days (for me at least) like the One World Cathy that I can never catch!

Good work Mark. Makes me think that if it ever rains when I come down, I know where I'll be shooting from.
