It's one of those days. The rain is pouring down here in Southern California, just one month after the fires stripped the vegetation from the hills and I can't help but reflect on the two seasons of Southern California. Inferno and flood. It's a steady cycle here. The hills turn from green, to brown, to fire, and then to flood. The stinging smoke, raging wildfires and inevitable pyromaniacs will give way to months and months of biblical rain.
So today I decided to try my new camera and document the first real downpour of the season. I'm not a photographer by any means. I don't know any of the technical jargon that most of my friends, who are great photographers in their own right, understand with ease. All I know is how to point and click. Basically I decided that if I took a plethora of shots, one or two would luckily come out looking halfway decent. So out of the 20-30 pictures that I took, here are the two that made the cut.

I used a sony cybershot camera. Just took some random photos. Basically point and click.

I wish I could say I had some high rate filters on, or that I lowered the camera shutter speed, but it was just point and click, and I got lucky it came out that way.
