Austin,

That is definitely a S-T-R-E-T-C-H limo. Neat shot. I like it.

Thanks John, Leigh. The picture was made with a Zero Image 6x12 pinhole camera. The angle of view on this thing is ridiculous; I was so close to the limo I could almost reach out and touch it. I'm still trying to get a handle on composing, but in any case, a little unpredictability is fine. I think that's why I bought it, to try and bring a little "play" back into my photography.

Austin, at first I was thinking maybe you had bought the 30mm lens for your XPan, but that was because I looked on my phone and I couldn't see the telltale softness from the pinhole. I like it! I've always liked your pinhole images - I was looking through the f/D Book of Pinhole again and admiring your image of the boat skeleton on a beach.

Anyway, this past evening something I knew would happen sooner or later did - an extremely heavy rain hit while I was way out in the woods, without any shelter or umbrella or anything. It really came down hard for almost an hour but luckily I had the best camera for the job - Pali's 3D-printed panoramic camera. Luckily I had a fresh roll of film loaded right as it hit. I could hear the roar of the rain coming for 30 seconds. The trail out was flooding even. Of course I went ahead and shot some photos...

Very nice--I was out in the Smokies Wednesday but managed to avoid any "goat floaters" this time. (FWIW, I keep my pack cover on my hipbelt for those cases where there's just a second's warning.)

Goat floater, haha! I need to start carrying an emergency rain poncho or something just in case, in the summers. Well, these last two weeks have been especially difficult due to some weird subtropical weather.

I really like this one. Why stop for a little rain! I too have Pali's camera. In my case, I've been waiting for a rain free day. Maybe I should stop waiting?

Excellent, Bryan!

Thanks Jon . I recommend still taking an umbrella, ha! Actually some water got in the camera, probably through the helical, and ruined a couple shots. But, it was really, really coming down.

Thanks Peter!

Here's two more images, but before the rain:
